I was turned on to Debussy in the 70s by a Japanese musician named Tometa (if memory serves me) who played this and other pieces on a synthesizer. I went out and bought the album right away. I was brought up in a classical music family but not yet at that point that much into classical. the Tometa stuff was cute but as my parents pointed out it really lost the true flavor of the Debussy on piano. I bought an album and realized that this instance was one of the few where my parents were right. that actually opened the door to classical for me. personally I believe that much of Debussy's work touches heaven and I'm not even sure heaven exists. I'm a piano purist now. this piece and a few others are my all time favorites in the "amazed by the music on this planet" category. πππ. though I started this thread with the Hu (yuve yuve yu) this thread would not even be here if it wasn't for Claude Debussy!!! so happy you posted it - and particularly today when something nice was really needed.
