" It’s a good performance. It’s moderately paced and clearly recorded."
Fanfare, 02-7-2018Claude Debussy was a French composer. He and Maurice Ravel were the most prominent figures associated with impressionist music, though Debussy disliked the term when applied to his compositions. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1903. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his use of non-traditional scales and chromaticism influenced many composers who followed.
Debussy's music is noted for its sensory content and frequent usage of non-traditional tonalities. The prominent French literary style of his period was known as Symbolism, and this movement directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant
Among his most famous works are his Clair de Lune, his Three Nocturnes and his orchestral piece La Mer.
It’s a good performance. It’s moderately paced and clearly recorded.
Fanfare, 02-7-2018
Because of the tension that Manacorda builds, I have been listening to bated breath from the very first moment ... This recording is a must!

The Gelders Orchestra plays Debussy and Ravel on the brink of sublime.
De Volkskrant, 02-3-2018
This Manacorda is a amazing good conductor.
De Groene Amsterdammer, 17-1-2018
Spectacular recording.
HRAudio, 08-12-2017
Antonello Manacorda succeeds in breathing new life into both of these works. La Mer is turned into a fantastic, mystic and Scriabin-like music, and Ma Mère l’Oye is wonderfully fairy. Obviously, Manacorda is inspired by the mysteries that drive creative forces. Great sound too!
Pizzicato, 06-12-2017
Born in Turin and European by vocation, Antonello Manacorda is an important conductor that Italy has exported in the international scene.
Amadeus Magazine, 01-12-2017
That this conductor understands this music is also apparent from the fact that he does not do the subtleties oversubtly or too businesslike, but treats them as structural factors.
