After discs devoted to Ravel and Poulenc (ZZT060901 & ZZT110403 - critical and popular successes, the latter measured in sales), Jos van Immerseel returns to French music, tackling Debussy and his most famous orchestral works.
This he does brilliantly well, of course, relying on historic instruments with the aim of blending a singular vision of these scores with a highly rigorous approach.
"[Immerseel] sees beyond the mere timbre itself and looks to the bristling impact that the music must have made when it was new...the freshness of Debussy's imagination is underlined by performances that have a strong dramatic impulse inflected with all manner of expressive subtleties that bring the music to life...Anima Eterna's disc approaches it with a compellingly rejuvenated outlook." (Gramophone, Feb 2013)
