Description
This release in Michael Tilson Thomas' and the San Francisco Symphony's award-winning discography features Debussy's vivid Images and playful Jeux, alongside the exquisite miniature La plus que lente.
"Right from the start of my musical life, Debussy's music captivated me," states Michael Tilson Thomas. With the San Francisco Symphony he shares his fascination in an all-Debussy collection that exquisitely illustrates the composer's mastery with orchestration - the vivid landscapes of Images, impassioned playfulness of Jeux, and the sensuality of La plus que lente. Presented by SFS Media in premium audio hybrid SACD.
Personnel: San Francisco Symphony, Michael Tilson Thomas (conductor)
