Debussy “Complete Works” Sets: Warner Vs. Deutsche Grammophon

[staxomega]

This question is a heck of a reach, has anyone compiled Lesure's numbering to the disc and track number on either box?

I am not sure what you are asking but the Warner box has the "L" numbers:

[asin]B077FXKHPD[/asin]

It has them listed after the name of the work in the booklet but it doesn't have a listing presenting them chronologically (with the CD and track number it is on) like some composer style boxes do. For instance with the Decca Complete Bartok box even though the box is organized similarly to the two Debussy boxes, with CDs organized by composition style, there is an index of BB numbers presenting them chronologically with the disc and track number that it is found on.

I personally prefer listening to the music that I'm not familiar with on these boxes by composition year (roughly what L numbers would correspond to) and knowing what disc and track number they're on make it easier for me.

No, because, no offense, it's of no importance to me. What is important, however, is the chronological order of the compositions by year, which can be found on the Debussy website.

If anyone happens to have the booklet available as a PDF would they mind sharing? I travel between my main house and lake house during the weekends and this booklet is so convenient in finding contents but I often forget it at one location or another. Proof that I do own the box  Thank you

Have you tried to find it by doing a Google search? Unless someone has downloaded the box set and that download came with the booklet in pdf format, no one has it as a pdf.

I did try a search. Universal and Warner do release them not as part of music downloads, but it seems to be random or they are only up for a very short amount of time before the website link expires (some Warner sets actually give you the URL). For instance here is the recent Backhaus PDF I keep so I don't need to carry the booklet around. I do this with several releases. https://i.imgur.com/VNbzQPK.png
