Hey Fellers, Anybody know of a good Debussy collection that includes Beau Soir? Also, does anybody know why it is so seldomly included in collections of his work? I get that is more on the pop side of things in terms of structure...but other than that it is a brilliant piece in my opinion. Maybe because it is a song? I know a lot of the collections I have are based on the forms of composition---e.g. sonatas, etc. Also does anybody have a favorite rendition of the tune? I love an older one I've heard by Mary Garden on YouTube: I like the vocal and violin versions equally. ------------- Progging the Rock, Rocking the Prog. soundcloud.com/withinareverie withinareverie.blogspot.com facebook.com/withinareverie Twitter: @WithinaReverie |

Not sure about which collection, but this is my favourite version of it. Interesting to contrast the male and female vocals between our picks. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Nice, Logan. That was beautiful. I think I am naturally drawn to female singers for some reason. But this was a fantastic version that I hadn't heard before! Thank you!!

Do you feel that many people rush this piece? I've heard many interpretations that just move too quickly. I enjoy the ebbing and flowing tempos that a lot of people use, but overall I tend to like this performed more slowly. Perhaps even more slowly than Debussy intended. I'm not sure. ------------- Progging the Rock, Rocking the Prog. soundcloud.com/withinareverie withinareverie.blogspot.com facebook.com/withinareverie Twitter: @WithinaReverie |

I, also, am naturally drawn to female singers, but I feel his vocals world really well with it. I also prefer it when the piece is performed in a more drawn-out manner. Just avoid the Maria Callas featuring Pitbull hyper-dance re-mix.  ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |
