Debussy: Images; Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune; La Mer
Release Date: January 14, 1997 SK62599 CD Album For this recording, conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra turn to the orchestral masterpieces of Claude Debussy: Images, Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune and La Mer. Salonen has brought the Los Angeles Philharmonic to the forefront of international orchestral ensembles, garnering enthusiastic critical and popular acclaim for their interpretations of 20th-century repertoire. This recording represents another impressive statement by this extraordinary orchestra, whose thrilling treatment of the Film Music of Bernard Herrmann (SK 62700) was named by Time magazine one of the year's 10 best recordings. The revolutionary sound and texture of Debussy's orchestral style is perfectly captured by Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic on Claude Debussy: Images, Prélude à l'aprés-midi d'un faune, La Mer, which The Guardian has called "As finely executed a collection of Debussy's best known orchestral works as any available today." This luscious, romantic music played with consummate mastery by the Los Angeles Philharmonic is truly impossible to resist. |
