"A joint memorial composition by prominent composers of the time. Each paid tribute to the late master in their own typical style while also reflecting on Debussy's aesthetic, creating a kind of musical 'time capsule' of Paris in this unique historical period. From Dukas' final piano work to Stravinsky's monumental chorale, this is the first complete recording - made for its centenary - of Le Tombeau with the related works that proceeded from it".

"This remarkable disc not only presents Le Tombeau de Claude Debussy but includes three spin-offs from that project. Let me explain. Debussy died on 25 March 1918. Two years later, Henry Prunières (1886-1942), the director of the French journal La Revue Musicale, commissioned a joint memorial volume for the composer. He approached the great and good of European music, and asked for a specially written contribution. Ten composers responded with short works that balanced a celebration of Debussy's musical achievement with each contributor's individual style ... The pianist Tomer Lev was the driving force behind this realisation ... What has resulted from Lev's realisation is an often beautiful and always interesting piece of musical archaeology".

"Le Tombeau de Claude Debussy is in effect a joint memorial published two years after the composer's death ... We're given a solid performance under Zeev Dorman, reliable and well-paced ... Although hardly world-beating, these are worthy performances, well recorded, in support of a musically valuable enterprise".
