Claire de Lune, how famous has this piece become since 1905! So many arrangements and recordings of Suite Bergamasque have since fought for becoming the most popular and successful. Many have heard the versions by Cailliet, Stokowski, Caplet, Tiomkin – and those are amazing works!
However, some of the interpretations remained aside and did not spread as broadly as the mentioned above. This fact does not make them any less intriguing and ear-pleasing. I have found a couple of really interesting arrangements of Claire de Lune for the most unexpected instruments like marimbas, recorder, vibraphone. And all are equally unique and noteworthy.
I have also learnt that Debussy’ close friend, French composer André Caplet, made his own orchestral version of the piece. And I must say it impressed me!
