Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Claude Debussy with his captivating album "Debussy: Préludes du 2e Livre, La Mer." Released on January 1, 2016, under the prestigious harmonia mundi label, this collection is a testament to Debussy's mastery of classical piano and his unique ability to evoke vivid imagery and emotion through music.
