Music reviews of Debussy: The Philharmonia Volume One
Music Review: Deserves A Revival
Rating: 5 Stars
It's a pity this has been dropped from the catalog. Don't let the obscurity of the conductor and label throw you, this is a top-rank recording. I have the Solti version of La Mer and there is little to choose between this and the Solti version. The performances are lush but focused, a balance that is difficult with Debussy's music, since I suspect it tends to tranquilize the players as much as the listeners. The sound here is closer miked than many orchestral works, but I would say it is a balance between the slightly distant, dry DGG house sound and the extroverted Columbia tone that is present, for better or worse, on most of Bernstein's recordings. Let this disc take you off to a Debussy wonderland!
