| |  | Debussy: Orchestral Works Volume 5
Volume 5 of Naxos’s acclaimed series of Debussy’s orchestral music presents a potpourri of works that were either left incomplete by the composer or were orchestrated by others who greatly admired his music. The rarely-heard children’s ballet The Toy Box, dedicated to Debussy’s daughter Emma-Claude but not premièred until after the composer’s death, recalls the innocent world of his popular Children’s Corner suite. Based on Pierre Louÿs’ Chansons de Bilitis, Debussy’s Six épigraphes antiques evoke poetic scenes from the ancient world, as does the sole surviving portion of The Triumph of Bacchus. “First of all, a word of warning. Of the 73 minutes on this Debussy disc, just about 70 are of orchestrations by other people...In all these versions, Jun Märkl conducts with spirit and finesse.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2011 **** “The Lyon players create the strange impression of floating on air as points of sound emerge from the near-distance with ear-tweaking lucidity...The engineering balances detail and atmosphere to glowing perfection...Märkl's revelatory Debussy series is up there...as one of the most iridescent musical jewels in Naxos's crown.” Classic FM Magazine, April 2011 ***** “[La boite a joujoux] is performed with the sensitivity, warmth of character, fluency and discerning treatment of instrumental timbre that have been the hallmarks of the Lyon orchestra's playing and Jun Markl's conducting on all four of their previous Debussy discs” Gramophone Magazine, July 2011 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Debussy: Complete Orchestral Works
This collection contains all Debussy’s works for orchestra as well as many orchestral arrangements of his piano music. Together these display a rich panorama of Debussian sound and a remarkable insight into the composer. Established arrangements by Debussy’s contemporaries, including Ravel and Caplet, are complemented by more recent arrangements from composers such as Colin Matthews and Robin Holloway. The conductor Jun Märkl believes that Debussy ‘set up a model of orchestration for the rest of the twentieth century’ and it is with this conviction that he draws from the Orchestre National de Lyon such ‘world-class playing’ (American Record Guide). “There’s definitely more wheat than chaff in this box, and if it weren’t for CD 1 and, to some extent, CD 2, I’d be sorely tempted to make this a Bargain of the Month. It certainly exudes quality, the sturdy presentation box, sleeved discs and substantial booklet are pleasing to the eye and satisfying to the touch.” MusicWeb International, July 2012 | | | (also available to download from $24.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
