Debussy's Corner

[DaveF]

I think you would enjoy Rattle's CBSO Jeux

I must try - very puzzling piece, but this just might be my way in.

[Mandryka]

A very good La Mer from Robin Ticciati  I think

Good to learn there are more (I own about 20 recordings, I guess (my shelves are downstairs), most of them fine (otherwise I wouldn't have them).

First heard La Mer when I was 14, probably 15 -- and yes, really: was enthralled, mesmerized, on the spot. But I never listened as much Debussy as I did Ravel, Falla, Vaughan Williams, Dvořák, Tchaikovsky & Saint-Saëns (when still sooo young), Brian, Barber, Ginastera or even (late, 'much underrated') Respighi. Don't ask me why: the Lord works in mysterious ways. I do love every piece by Debussy I know (certainly all of his orchestral output, including all orchestrations by others found in "those boxes" on the said shelves). Perhaps, as good old friend Jeffrey puts it, I should listen more.
