Thank you. I know and love the music of Claude Debussy but it is not really what I am after.Originally posted by Joseph K View Post
This is difficult to explain but for me Debussy's music is like an impressionist painting. There are no solid lines.
Take the start of Pelleas et Melisande for example. It paints the picture of a forest with the outline of the trees obscured by mist. By contrast Wagner's forest is lit by bright, morning sunlight and we can clearly see the bird hopping around from tree to tree. That is what I am looking for from just across the border in France, Belgium or Switzerland.
I hope this makes some sense.Comment

Hmm. Sorry, but I do not like Wagner played on a piano. Not even the Liszt transcriptions.Comment

Thank you. This music is a delight and just what I was looking for. I will explore further.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostComment

Now that is interesting..... especially if you consider that Bollon, with a small recorded catalogue, did the Roussel Poem of the Forest (Symphony No.1) with the Flanders SO on Cypres - and it remains my favourite version - for me, simply the best - of a work I love, among some pretty high-class competition....Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post
Peach of a disc - and surely a work for Ian to try...
Shame they haven't done Magnard 1 and 2 (my personal favourite) though- maybe they'll appear later?Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 22-08-19, 23:28.Comment
