I have a few of Martinon's Debussy recordings on LP back in the '70's and treasure them. I had not heard his recording of this particular piece, but it is of the same caliber as others in the series. Wonderful. I'm very late to the party, but this is so beautiful.
Martinon and Debussy are a match made in Heaven! The feverish tempo Martinon uses in Sirenes makes the orchestra and especially the chorus sound incredibly sensuous, mesmerizing, and otherworldly.
The audio quality of this upload is quite good, thanks.

Thank you for this beautiful upload!
... Martinon und Debussy - in diesen Aufnahmen mit dem ORTF-Nationalorchester Paris unübertroffen: in Frische und Präzision!
keine Meinungsverschiedenheit von mir :-)
