Daniele Gatti: Debussy / Stravinsky

О событии

The delicate flute melody of Debussy’s faun changed the face of Western music for ever, as did the innovative orchestral textures of his evocative portrait of the sea, La Mer. Revolutionary, too, are the pounding rhythms of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and fans of Disney’s Fantasia will recognise the score as the accompaniment to the evolution sequence in the film. The Rite’s closing dance is one of the most nerve‐wracking, spine‐tingling, thrilling orchestral passages ever heard.
