It is fitting that Claude Debussy had a piece of music called "Reverie," because much of the music he composed could be described by that term. Debussy had a fascination with music that eschewed conventional structure, instead favoring abstract, impressionistic pieces and unique tonal arrangements that emphasized mood and ethereal gracefulness. From Sony Classical's "Greatest Hits" series, the entry captures the beauty and dreaminess of Debussy's music. Many of his favorite pieces are presented here, including his perennially popular moonlight serenade "Clair de Lune" from "Suite Bergamasque"; "Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faun" (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun," with its colorful suggestions of wandering through a peaceful meadow at mid-day; and his sublime symphony "La Mer."
