Overview

Debussy – Images, Danse Sacrée et Danse Profane showcases the artistry of Claude Debussy’s orchestral and harp compositions, performed by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Serge Baudo, with Karel Patras on harp. Released in 1977 on Supraphon, this stereo LP highlights Debussy’s early 20th-century modern style, blending impressionist textures with harmonic innovation.

Included are selections from Images pour Orchestre, Iberia, and Les Deux Danses (Danse sacrée et Danse profane)—a 1904 work for harp and string orchestra that exemplifies Debussy’s exquisite orchestration and subtle rhythmic contrasts. The album captures both the vibrant orchestral colors and the lyrical, ceremonial qualities of the harp solos, making it essential for lovers of impressionist and modern classical music.
