Suite Bergamasque

"The Suite Bergamasque," from which the famous "Claire de Lune" derives, is widely regarded to be one of Debussy's most riveting piano works. Arranged here for chamber orchestra, woodwind solos and string lines weave in and out of relief, highlighting the impressionist colors of Debussy's rich palette. The work consists of four stand-alone movements: the bright "Prelude;" the playful, sweet "Menuet;" the timeless and vivid "Claire de Lune;" and the jaunty, wispy "Passepied."
