FANTASTIC. I want to say one anecdote. The also wonderful musician Michael Jackson said one ocassion that this masterpiece of Debusy was the best piece of music of all history. And I think he was probably right.

@DavidElche87 you know I heard he liked Debussy and I guess that makes sense. This tune and the Chaccone of Bach are my choices for "best ever" Again about MJ... great musicians just know what is great... period! does not matter style or whatever... great is just plain great!!

This music is truly different...isn't it? It's not a just a piece or a few instruments, it's like a landscape, with figures and features and tones, but all with audio, nothing visual, other than men and women in fancy dress.

This is amazing. What a wonderful and creative soul this man was.
