Barbe & Doucet direct Pelléas et Mélisande in Liège (****) [live]
Debussy didn't give up opera after 'Pelleas', he just never brought another one to completion. He worked on the two Poe operas, fitfully, almost up to his death. Orledge's respectful completion of 'La Chute de la Maison Usher' is pretty convincing.
