Jeux / Nocturnes / Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune

Album by Claude Debussy & Les Siècles & François‐Xavier Roth

This release is a compilation album of orchestral works by Claude Debussy, spanning compositions written between 1894 and 1913. The music showcases Debussy's Impressionist orchestral language, with delicate, colouristic orchestration, modal and whole-tone harmonies and an emphasis on timbre and atmosphere, and together these works document his progression from late 19th-century symbolist influences toward a more experimental orchestral idiom in the early 20th century.
