'That great blue Sphinx', Debussy called the sea. Debussy himself
was something of a Sphinx: in the early 1890s he was thinking of
'founding a society for musical esotericism', and although, on the
surface, most of his music is instantly engaging and accessible, at
a deeper level run currents that are dangerous, unpredictable,
destructive. In this new biography, Roger Nichols considers the
life and music of this seminal figure, charting the currents and
the whirlpools in which other humans were sometimes unlucky enough
to get caught. Debussy's status is such that no modern composer has
been able to ignore him, asking, as he does, any number of riddles
to which late twentieth-century music is still searching for
answers.
