About
Volume 5 of Naxos’s acclaimed series of Debussy’s orchestral music presents a potpourri of works that were either left incomplete by the composer or were orchestrated by others who greatly admired his music.
The rarely-heard children’s ballet The Toy Box, dedicated to Debussy’s daughter Emma-Claude but not premièred until after the composer’s death, recalls the innocent world of his popular Children’s Corner suite.
Based on Pierre Louÿs’ Chansons de Bilitis, Debussy’s Six épigraphes antiques evoke poetic scenes from the ancient world, as does the sole surviving portion of The Triumph of Bacchus.

April 2011
The Lyon players create the strange impression of floating on air as points of sound emerge from the near-distance with ear-tweaking lucidity...The engineering balances detail and atmosphere to glowing perfection...Märkl's revelatory Debussy series is up there...as one of the most iridescent musical jewels in Naxos's crown.
July 2011
[La boite a joujoux] is performed with the sensitivity, warmth of character, fluency and discerning treatment of instrumental timbre that have been the hallmarks of the Lyon orchestra's playing and Jun Markl's conducting on all four of their previous Debussy discs
