Debussy: Images - Gigues; Iberia; Rondes de printemps

Orchestre National De Lyon; Markl

The music of three nations - Britain, Spain and France - inspired Debussy's Images for orchestra, which occupied him from 1905 to 1912. Originally conceived for two pianos, this third set draws on several folk songs in its outer movements, the tripartite middle movement evoking in musical terms Spanish sights, sounds and fragrances. Vivid orchestrations by the composer or admired colleagues of short piano pieces likewise embrace contrasting moods and national characters.

Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"In Jun Märkl’s expert hands one can immediately sense Debussy…[Märkl] magically evokes iridescent textures from which points of sound emerge like piquant sources of light on a canvas. A captivating performance enhanced by four bonus orchestrations."

Classic FM

"Märkl creates the melancholic atmosphere well here, with lots of detail apparent in a beefy orchestral sound, recorded at a high dynamic level."
