This four-CD set showcases the premiere complete recording of Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande , recorded in Paris in 1941. Celebrating the centennial year of the opera's debut, this deluxe reissue features this famous recording led by Roger Désormière as well as substantial comparative selections from abridged recordings. One of andante's most sumptuous presentations to date, the set's 300-page-plus booklet includes an array of rarely seen photographs from the 1902 debut, along with vintage photos of the composer and the principal performers.
