Debussy - "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune"

If there was a God, I bet he watched this show a couple of times. Oops, almost forgot Debussy Rocks!

Ityr2001 You know NOTHING!! about ballet and above all about the history of dance. THAT`S CLEAR!! This one was one of the most revolucionary and advanced creations in the ballet`s history. You certanly have to read and learn more before to give that kind of opinions.

Porno for eggheads.

This ballet ruins the music for me.

The choregraphy is stunning--a truly brilliant interpretation of a beautiful work.

it is a ballet if you want just listen teh audio verison.....

Bravissimo, Charles Jude, très sensuel.

You might find interesting Robin Holloway's interesting book "Debussy and Wagner" edited by Eulenburg.
The young claude Debussy went to Bayreuth and was a great fan, even if Monsieur Croche was later a violent opponant of the German Master (after the occupation of Alsace-Lorraine).

Debussy did not invent whole tone scales nor was the first to avoid tonal writing, nor indeed to prefer unresolved seventh chords or use the tritone.
I don't thiçnk anyone ever protested about this work as a piece of music, with delicious orchestration and starting and finishing in E major!
