5.0 out of 5 stars Debussy's Secret, December 1, 1999

By	Nicolas Leobold (New York City) - See all my reviews

This is one of the finest CD's I own. Not many people are familiar with Debussy's Chamber Music, but he composed some of the finest examples in the repertoire. The Athena Ensemble is obviously a brilliantly talented group of musicians who understand the complex and sophisticated harmonics, molodics, and rhythmics in Debussy's works, and they treat his masterpieces with love. This CD is exquisite and perfect, and will display Debussy's genius to anyone with a caring ear, while remaining subtle. Debussy's chamber music is a secret that more people should know about, and this CD is the finest collection of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless performances and music; lovely recording, June 29, 2001

By	Ed Brickell (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews

Hardly a day goes by that this Debussy CD isn't in my player. On a hot summer afternoon, it's as cool and refreshing as a tall glass of ice water. That's not to say the Athena Ensemble turn this music into pleasant background noise -- the performances are both subtle and vital, and feel as natural as the weather.

The Chandos recording is lovely, not nearly as heavy on the reverb as many of their CDs adding just the right touch of depth and atmosphere. Notes are sparse but adequate. And the beautiful reproduction of the Monet on the cover is the icing on the cake.

This CD is part of my life now; it might easily become a part of yours as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Something's missing, February 12, 2006

By	Redgecko (USA) - See all my reviews

What ruins this set is the omission of the String Quartet, one of Debussy's finest works.
