With his legendary ability to conjure up magical sonorities, Leonard Bernstein offers his definitive reading of Debussy´s impressionistic sound worlds. His series of concerts with Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome was recorded in 1989, the year before his death, and featured three of the French composer´s masterpieces. Images, La Mer and Prélude à l´après-midi d´un faune, in a feast of Mediterranean sesuality.

“Bernstein´s Debussy is neither ethereal nor gelatinous, but uncommonly vital, caught in the full light of the midday sun” (Il Giornale, Rome).

“An unprecedented triumph” (La Stampa, Turin).
