Debussy: His Letters And His Music Reviews
Broadway World- Recommended
"...While I enjoyed learning about the composer through his letters, I do wish Ms. Migenes would sing more during the show which includes 23 compositions by Debussy and fellow composers Chopin, Wagner, Rossini, Bach, and Czerny, all of whom he admired. Just a note - with Debussy's music so soft and soothing, I must warn you there are times when you may be lulled to sleep during the performance. So be sure to bring someone with you who can gently rouse you from your slumber so you do not miss a moment of this mesmerizing show!"
Edge- Somewhat Recommended
"...Now in her late 60s, she shows a fine figure and no loss of her operatic talents. Her show on Kurt Weill a couple of years back was a success as she truly owned the music of Weill and the lyrics of Bertolt Brecht (and others). Her latest show, "Debussy: His Letters and His Music" on the influence of Claude Debussy on Western music, is less successful, albeit valuable to the uninitiated."
LA Splash- Highly Recommended
"...For music aficionados, DEBUSSY: HIS LETTERS AND HIS MUSIC is a real treat. Debussy's lush, sometimes moody melodies form a gentle backdrop to Migenes' account of his life and loves, successes and failures. This homage to a musical giant does more than stick to the facts listed in a life summary. It also delves into the heart and soul of a man - imperfect, sometimes risque, occasionally tongue-in-cheek - but always trying to bring his vision of music to the world."
