Overview

This beautifully curated Capriccio 2-CD set showcases a selection of Claude Debussy’s most cherished orchestral and ballet compositions, performed by the Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester Leipzig under the direction of Max Pommer. The collection offers a panoramic view of Debussy’s impressionist style, from the atmospheric La Mer and evocative Nocturnes to the playful La Boîte à Joujoux — a ballet for children in four scenes.

Highlights include the Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, the Petite Suite, and beloved piano works orchestrated for full orchestra such as Clair de Lune and Children’s Corner. The Triptyque for orchestra and choir and the narration by Simone Rist add further depth to this exquisite collection.

This release celebrates Debussy’s inventive textures, harmonic color, and impressionistic charm, brought to life by the distinguished Leipzig orchestra and choir.
