La Cathédrale engloutie

Debussy changes music history with his compositions. In his Préludes of 1912, he looks far ahead and, against the background of actual images, writes in such an abstract and visionary manner that his works reveal their harmonic modernity in an abundance of colours. Played on the organ, Debussy’s works run seamlessly into the soundscapes of Olivier Messiaen. Such a colourful interpretation of his piano works on the organ corresponds to Debussy’s maxim “You only need to listen. Pleasure is the law”.
