Title: La cathedrale engloutie
Post by: redbaron on February 25, 2008, 04:30:34 PM

Does anybody know the story/inspiration for Debussy's La cathedrale engloutie? Something to do with sunken cathedrals?

It's based on the legend of the the City of Ys.

Hi redbaron,

I believe that mine is the only recording of La cathedrale engloutie in the Audition Room.  Here's the link if you'd like to hear it.
