La Mer / Nocturnes
Album by Claude Debussy & Philharmonia Orchestra & Michael Tilson Thomas
La Mer / Nocturnes is a recorded album of orchestral works by French composer Claude Debussy, pairing compositions from 1899 and 1905. It exemplifies Debussy's mature orchestral language, characterised by delicate, colouristic scoring, fluid textures and advanced harmonic nuance, and stands as a key example of his contribution to impressionist orchestration and early 20th-century orchestral innovation.
