4.0 out of 5 stars Very good all-round introduction to the orchestral Debussy, 21 Oct 2006
By Nicholas Casley (Plymouth, Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This Twofer contains the groundbreaking and groundworking orchestral music of this most delicate of French composers. Huge forces, brilliantly handled. Prelude a l'Apres Midi d'un Faune is here, La Mer (of course), the colourful Images. An added attraction is Debussy's orchestral Nocturnes with the hauntingly beautiful Nuages as first movement. Other excellent bonuses are his melting Dances for Harp and Strings and his Rhapsody for clarinet and orchestra. The only bugbear is his music for the short ballet Jeux which somehow never seemed and still never seems to provide inspiration.

As for the performances. Well, you can hardly ever go wrong with Haitink: he rarely inspires but he is a solid performer. The recordings date back to the late 1970s, so do not expect crystal clear reproduction, but overall the sound quality is more than good.

Recommended for those who want to try an aural accompaniment to gazing at their Monets and Pisarros. Debussy evinces the same exquisite craftsmanship with both a broad sweep and amazing detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Haitink Excels
BBC Music Magazine rightly rates this performance of La Mer as their top choice, and it is an excellent performance. In fact all the Haitink performances are great. Read more
