Debussy Ibéria & La Mer - Paul Paray, Detroit Symphony Orchestra
Paray's recordings of these works are often cited as reference performances because of their clarity, precision, and fidelity to Debussy's original vision. They remain popular among audiophiles and classical music enthusiasts, both for their artistic merit and for the exceptional quality of the Mercury Living Presence sound. Mercury’s engineers, led by Robert Fine and Wilma Cozart Fine, were able to capture the nuances of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under Paray’s direction, preserving the warmth, depth, and power of these performances for posterity.
