The English Debussy

Available for 27 days

Donald Macleod follows Cyril Scott as Scott establishes himself as a composer and pianist, including trips to France where he met Debussy and Ravel. Scott’s own music at this time had distinct connections with the music of Debussy, and the elder composer hailed Scott as the way to the future.
