Debussy : Pelleas Et Melisande, Gilfry / Rey

The choice of Debussy’s only opera was very deliberate. Perusing my many opera Blu-ray choices, I decided on Pelleas and Melisande as I am not the least bit familiar with it. Also I love much of his music and realized I have reviewed nothing by Debussy in a long time. Pelleas is thought of as a lyric drama, influenced to an extent by Wagner and based on a stage play. You will be introduced to much of Debussy’s subtle music making and may not care much about the visual here. Excellent orchestral playing and reproduction introduces some of Debussy’s beauty. I will search for more in the future.
