Debussy: Prelude & Menuet from Suite Bergamasque (orchestral version)

[edecou]

The orchestrations were done by contemporaries of Debussy - for the Suite Bergamasque they are by the conductor Gustave Gloez and Clair de Lune by Andre Caplet.

Makes me think deeply about my life ...

... and makes me lost and sad.

i think it would sound a lot better if they had a euphonium and/or timpani for that phrase

i like the grandiose entrance to Prelude on the piano better

not to double post but this version orchestrated the infamous "misprint" at 8:14. (G# instead of natural)

could that mean that that measure is supposed to be played with the sharps?

[looney1023]

where are all of these orchestrations coming from?

i didn't know how many there were!

has every piece he had ever written orchestrated?

@looney1023 I wish they were, but there is still much left. I happen to prefer Debussy's music orchestrated, so I have tried to find it as much as possible.

@looney1023 I've compared this to the orchestration by Hubert Mouton, and I believe this is it.

[SonicHedgehog123]

Do you happen to know who performed this version?

[tmmvds]

@SonicHedgehog123 San francisco Ballet Orchestra with conductor Emil de Cou. This is taken from Debussy: Rediscovered CD which is I believe the only orchestrated recording.
