Le Tombeau de Claude Debussy

In December 1920, two years after Claude Debussy's untimely death, the editors of the renowned Parisian musical magazine La Revue musicale published a special issue dedicated to the composer's memory. At its heart was a joint memorial composition by prominent composers of the time. Each paid tribute to the late master in their own typical style while also reflecting on Debussy's aesthetic, creating a kind of musical 'time capsule' of Paris in this unique historical period. From Dukas' final piano work to Stravinsky's monumental chorale, this is the first complete recording - made for its centenary - of Le Tombeau with the related works that proceeded from it.
