Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune / Nocturnes / La Mer / Berceuse héroïque

Album by Claude Debussy & Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra & Paavo Järvi

This release is an album of orchestral works by Claude Debussy, consisting of pieces composed and first performed between 1894 and 1915. The music exemplifies Debussy's impressionist orchestral language, characterised by rich orchestral colour, non-traditional scales and harmonies, and fluid, evocative rhythms that marked a shift toward modernist approaches in early 20th-century music.
First released: 22nd March 2005
