About

This collection contains all Debussy’s works for orchestra as well as many orchestral arrangements of his piano music. Together these display a rich panorama of Debussian sound and a remarkable insight into the composer. Established arrangements by Debussy’s contemporaries, including Ravel and Caplet, are complemented by more recent arrangements from composers such as Colin Matthews and Robin Holloway. The conductor Jun Märkl believes that Debussy ‘set up a model of orchestration for the rest of the twentieth century’ and it is with this conviction that he draws from the Orchestre National de Lyon such ‘world-class playing’ (American Record Guide).

Awards and reviews

July 2012

There’s definitely more wheat than chaff in this box, and if it weren’t for CD 1 and, to some extent, CD 2, I’d be sorely tempted to make this a Bargain of the Month. It certainly exudes quality, the sturdy presentation box, sleeved discs and substantial booklet are pleasing to the eye and satisfying to the touch.
