91热爆 Proms Composer: Claude Debussy.
Flora Willson chooses five essential recordings of 91热爆 Proms Composer Claude Debussy and explains why you need to hear them.
Debussy, who proudly proclaimed himself 'musicien fran莽ais' on the title page of his last scores, found his unique voice at least partly in reaction to Wagner and Austro-German music. The resulting harmonic innovations and radically new ways of writing for both piano and orchestra led him to become among the most influential of 20th-century composers, whose international reputation was sealed in 1902, when he was nearly 40, with his opera Pell茅as et M茅lisande.
