Debussy Clair de Lune, piano favourites
Various Artists
8555800 | 747313580026 | CD | RRP $14.95 RRP$9.95
It is difficult to hear Clair de lune with new ears, so familiar did it become, even in Debussy's lifetime. As a composer Debussy must be regarded as one of the most important and influential figures of the earlier twentieth century. His musical language suggested new paths to be further explored, while his poetic and sensitive use of the orchestra and of keyboard textures was revolutionary.

Holst The Planets
Royal Scottish National Orchestra
8555776 | 747313577620 | CD | RRP $14.95 RRP$9.95
Holst’s reputation depends very largely on The Planets: few composers have achieved such success with a single work. As a result, the rest of his music has been overshadowed, and The Planets is often regarded as if it came from nowhere. Yet the music fits naturally into Holst’s output, a logical development from his earlier works, and a pointer to much that he was to achieve subsequently.
