This beautifully packaged CD contains a collection of music by some of the finest composers of Renoir’s era. Many of these composers, including Debussy, Satie and Ravel, were greatly influenced by the Impressionistic language that Renoir developed, while others, such as Gounod, Offenbach and Wagner, played an integral role in his life. This popular title, created for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is a perfect fit for any Impressionist theme.
