I recall Boulez as a wonderful Debussy conductor. I remember that when I was still at school (not college) my school-friend came over with a Boulez/Debussy LP (I recall that it had a Monet painting on the cover). It was probable the Nocturnes and/or La Mer and it made a great impression on us both.

Here it is John. No La Mer!


La Mer was coupled with Jeux and Prelude a L'apres midi d'un faun The LP cover was mainly black with photo of the sea in the lower half. I have the LP but not a photo of it.

That was my first encounter with this music, and also with the art of Hokusai. Some 40 years ago now... :)

That is interesting. My copy is almost exactly the same but it has a photo of the sea, not the Hosukai, and a different CBS logo (in white). It seems they used different art work for the UK issue.

Voilà once again  ;):


It is strange. But you're right: Discogs marks this specific cover (with the photo in lieu of Hokusai) as the UK release.

And of course, Hokusai's art was featured in the Complete Warner set to striking effect.

Very nice. Coincidentally I have an Art-History student who is doing her dissertation on Hokusai.

Another composer whose works I'm wanting to explore.  How did you find the music to be?  And cool cover.  Any idea where the photo was taken Roy?

Thank you for the info! It was published somewhere? Would love to know about dates.
In a BIS marketing email today about the new release of FPZ's Martinu concertos + Bartok solo sonata. The Bach recordings are in the future, maybe 2021-22.

Well yes, because La Mer was published in 1905 with a wave on the cover, inspired by Hokusai's wave. The connection isn't one devised by a record company, it's one that's existed from the beginning. Reportedly Debussy owned a copy of the print.
Nobody has to apologise for using their brain.
