CD REVIEW: Debussy
Well, by golly, here's a little review from the Flagstaff [AZ] Live! Arts section (no date):
Nando’s nookie notes
Music for love
Claude Debussy—Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, Nocturnes, La Mer, Berceuse Héroïque
Performed by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra; conducted by Paavo Järvi
Telarc 80617
This new recording not only includes Claude Debussy’s most popular masterpieces for orchestra, but Paavo Järvi and the Cincinnati players prove once more that their artistic marriage is one of the most successful. Debussy’s music requires a transparency comparable to the famous French painter Monet and there are not many orchestras in this competitive world who can produce that transparency in such a way. The recording is sublime and serves the honor of one of the greatest French composers in the entire history of music.
