He was one of the most important figures in music at the turn of the 20th century; his music represents the transition from late-romantic to 20th century classical.
Debussy's most dramatic contribution to music history was his disregard for traditional chord structures and tonality. He is one of the most important exponents of the whole tone scale in classical music history. His compositions flowed without a strict sense of metre or rhythm, and are considered the pioneering works of the Impressionist genre of classical music, named in comparison with the visual arts movement.
Debussy's impact was far reaching. His free use of harmony, which often altogether disregarded the concepts of tertian harmony, has been cited as an influence on the rise of Jazz music later in the 20th century.

Why is it that Debussy is a composer whose music captures me the way that no one else does. That section at 1:52 makes all my hair stand on end, it is just so beautiful yet mysterious and ominous at the same time, like the ghost of a ship silhouetted against the sunrise.

I didn't like it the first time i tried to listen it. Now i'm like hypnotized, the musical landscape he has created is somehow very soft, but envelopping and absorbing. It remind me the atmospheres and images i dreamed of while reading the Lord of the Rings for the first time.
ps: Sorry for my poor english, from France.

Bravo pour la justesse des vents au début ! C'est la meilleure version !

I have this played by the ORTF orchestra. This is a thinner sounding orchestration.
