This album features works by Claude Debussy, a pioneering French composer who, along with Erik Satie and Maurice Ravel, was active from the late 19th to early 20th century, creating numerous pieces and profoundly influencing subsequent generations. The album, likely from the early 1970s, includes three piano sonatas composed by Debussy between 1915 and 1916, towards the end of his life. Inspired by the ballet music "Petrushka" by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, which premiered in 1911, these works mark a departure from his earlier Impressionist style towards a return to classical order. The album features the Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp (A1), the Sonata for Violin and Piano (B1), and the Sonata for Cello and Piano (B2). It is a must-listen, especially for those who appreciate New Age and Ambient music. The album also includes an insert with commentary by Japanese composer Minoru Shibata, reflecting its status as an original import from that era.
