Clair de lune must be one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed.
La Mer, the String Quartet and Nocturnes are probably my favorites.
I recently added Jean-Yves Thibaudet's recordings of Debussy's piano works to my collection. I have seen some lukewarm reviews, but I enjoy his interpretations very much.
This is definitely the one that does it for me everytime:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu4KOb...
La fille aux cheveux de lin (The girl with the flaxen hair) is so full of promise, yet so modestly portrayed. It always makes me happy and sad at the same time.
I hate that piece!!!!!!!!!! I was forced to play it and I hate it so much!!!!
Sorry Emma! Didn't mean for my post to incite such feelings in you...
Yeah, it's ok. Not your fault. It's my 4th grade music teachers.

One of my favorite pieces of music by Debussy is his "Prelude a L'apres-midi d'un faune"(I may have misspelled that...). The beginning is mysterious and sort of sad, but then the music becomes so joyful and sweet!
La Mer, always, and I'm fond of this obscure piece, mainly for the harp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMRzG...
Why would you call La Mer obscure? It is pretty well known.
Barbara, no, I meant the youtube link."Danse sacrée et danse profane" for harp and strings.
Excuse me! :)This is lovely!

glad to share it!
I heard Muti conduct La Mer at Carnegie Hall at the end of January. I thought he did a great job, though it was really Scriabin's Third Symphony I'd gone to hear.
