Debussy 'Clair de lune' - Stokowski arranger / conductor
Debussy's 'Clair de lune' is one of his most popular piano pieces and is also one of the most arranged. Stokowski was a great champion of Debussy and in his early years of recording with the Philadelphia Orchestra he made the first American 78s of the 'Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun,' the Three 'Nocturnes' and the 'Dances Sacred and Profane.' He also orchestrated 'The Engulfed Cathedral' and 'Evening in Granada.' His 1937 78rpm arrangement of 'Clair de lune' was a best-seller in its day and he re-recorded it in "Full Dimensional Stereo Sound" in 1957, the version heard here, with his own specially assembled recording orchestra. For the 'Capitol' LP liner notes, Stokowski wrote: "Debussy was outstanding among the impressionist composers of France and this is among his most sensitive poems in tone. Extremely delicate, it suggests by a few notes a whole world of mystery and nocturnal beauty." (From the EMI Classics 10CD box "Stokowski - The Maverick Conductor.")
