If you are new to Debussy, this CD is great to start. If you are already a fan, this CD is the perfect weekend companion. It features a well chosen selection of pieces from several of his works, both orchestral and solo piano. Best of all (as the title indicates) these pieces are all adagio/lento that are pleasant to listen to and relax... It is also very well priced, so it is a good CD to recommend.

I love Debussy, but this recording doesn't capture the soul of his music very well. Though I enjoy a couple of the pieces in this album, overall I'm dissatisfied with the arrangements which seem to lack feeling, emotion, captivation, and really musical substance of any sort. "Reverie," for example, is a wonderfully amazing song, but the arrangement on the cd fails to capture the intensity of the piece that I've heard with other arrangements. The same can be said for most of the other pieces which tend to just seem very bland. Overall, there are far better Debussy albums out there--choose one of them.

I have collected all the CDs in this collection, and I love each one of them. If you like good music playing in the background while you read or if you just need a bit of time to relax you will like this.

I could not wait to hear this cd as I usually love Debussys music but I was realy disapointed with this cd I felt really let down I am no expert in classical music but I am giving my own honest oppinion of this cd

This CD is Excellent for relaxing. I listen to it every night.

This CD's title says it all - just for relaxation.

Debussy is for soul searching time, contemplation of the universe or just vegging out.

If this is what you're looking for you've found it.
