Reviews
This is a most engagingly-written book, enhanced by the author's own researches and peppered with anecdotes. Readers will be drawn to Debussy's music and the artistic world of Paris from which it emerged. -- Richard Langham Smith, research professor, Royal College of Music, London
This book is definitely a must-read, guiding listeners to a precious apprehension of the complexities of Debussy's music, from the passage of Romanticism to Impressionism and opening the way to the Contemporary Era. It is really worth the read. -- Philippe Entremont, conductor and pianist
Debussy is and has always been a popular composer, yet the background to his music and life is complex, sometimes seemingly imponderable. Davidian is a beacon of light, writing in a lucid, approachable way that is sure to enrich our appreciation of this extraordinary musician. -- Simon Trezise, Head of Music, Trinity College Dublin
