    This review is from: Debussy: Clair de lune & Other Piano Favourites (Audio CD)
    Francois-Jo�l Thiollier has recorded much of Debussy's piano music for Naxos. This CD appears to be a 'favorites' album drawn from several previous issues. The most familiar and probably the best-loved Debussy pieces are here, beginning with a dreamy (but somewhat soupily-recorded) 'Clair de lune' ('Moonlight'). [The cover illustration is a nice reproduction of Eugène Boudin's gorgeous 'The Effect of the Moon.'] As of yet Amazon has not listed the contents, so I shall do so: Clair de lune, La plus que lente, Arabesque Nos. 1 & 2, Le petit nègre, excerpts from The Children's Corner (The snow is dancing, The little shepherd, Golliwog's cakewalk), La soirée dans Grénade, Jardin sous la pluie, Valse romantique, Tarantelle styrienne, Toccata, Reflets dans l'eau, Poissons d'or, Mazurka, Révérie, The Girl with the Golden Hair, and The Engulfed Cathedral.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Debussy's Clair de lune, November 27, 2010

    I have lost track of the amount of time I have spent listening to this wonderful song. The others on the CD are wonderful also, but Clare de lune is my all time favorite, and it has been since I was just a little girl. I wish I had a piano, I would simply learn to play this song, it is so beautiful, and if I could learn that one, I do believe I would be content to just play it.
    If you want truly wonderul music, buy this, you will not be sorry.
