Simon, you really must try and explain to me some time, how you manage to 'come round' to Debussy's Orchestral works... I've been trying, intermittently for 5 years now... and am hoping to give them another go during 2013...
Sorry Jared, I can't help you there. I love the pieces already, it's the recordings I'm coming round to. For whatever reason, Debussy spoke to me very early on in my musical life. Wish I understood why!

One of those forgotten discs on the shelf. Deserves to be listened to far more often.

how do you find that set as a whole Darren? I have the Alban Bergs and the Budapests....
I've never been able to warm to the Alban Berg, maybe it's just me but it feels like romantic taken to rico suaaaaaave levels
p.s if you are unfamiliar with RICO Suaaaaaave...
