Even the great Manuel de Falla was surprised by its authenticity. Also included is a performance of La Boîte a Joujoux, Debussy's lavish ballet for a children's puppet show, featuring the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Ernest Ansermet. Astoundingly, this work was written during the same period as his Three Poems of Mallarmé.  Price: $28.98 |
