You know Debussy, right? HUGELY influential on ambient. There's a recording, criminally little known, of the piano works that wipes it off any residual traces of Romanticism and emphasizes Debussy the ambient modernist

Absolutely. My favorite Debussy-related treasure is Claude Debussy, Werner Haas – Complete Works For Piano Solo • Das Klavierwerk • Œuvres Pour Piano Seul which was only issued on vinyl in the Netherlands and in Spain. Here's a photo I took of my copy.



I published a feature on Debussy to my member journal after carefully researching and compiling a library of his complete works. You can explore it here:

An Exploration of Musical Impressionism: Building a Library of Claude Debussy

Thanks for making sure I was in-the-know!

Possibly an excellent performance but the curse of ‘perfect pitch’ tells me this was taken off an LP along with nasty speed variations, otherwise known as wow & flutter.
