It features Debussy's Images, Saint-Sa毛ns' Fifth Piano Concerto, filled with the spice and exoticism of Egypt, and Honegger's orchestral depiction of a chugging steam train, Pacific 231.

After the success of his so-called 'Impressionistic' depictions of oceans and woodland animals, Claude Debussy set out to achieve 'something new - a new reality'. This new reality he talked of was the world of Images, where the free brushstrokes of Impressionism were replaced by something altogether more precise and pointillist.

Images contains some of Debussy's most delicate and luminous music, as well as his heady visions of life south of the French border in Spain.
