Claude Debussy (1862–1918) was a pivotal figure in the world of classical music, regarded as one of the most influential French composers at the turn of the 20th century, and the father of musical Impressionism. His innovative harmonies and compositional techniques were a departure from the Romantic era music that preceded him, lending to the development of a distinctly modern sound that would shape classical music in the years to come.
Debussy's music is characterized by its sensory content and frequent usage of non-traditional scales such as the whole tone, which create a sense of ambiguity and convey the composer's desire to move beyond the established rules of tonal harmony. His work often evokes a mood or atmosphere, capturing scenes of nature or the subtleties of human emotion. Some of Debussy's best-known pieces include "Clair de Lune," "La Mer," and "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune." Although he did not live into the 20th century long enough to witness the full impact of his work, his musical legacy would continue to inspire generations of composers, performers, and music enthusiasts worldwide. The releases cited, while possibly being compilations or interpretations of his compositions by modern artists, highlight the timelessness and continued relevance of his music.
