About this Performance

“Music,” said Claude Debussy, “must be as boundless as the wind, the sky, the sea…” The symphonic waves of La Mer suggest more than the tumult of the sea. Here was the new language of musical impressionism that influenced music and musicians throughout the last century. What began with Debussy continued through Ravel, two masters who colored their sound with radiant orchestral palettes. Plus, Alexi Kenny, acclaimed by The New York Times for virtuosity that is “breathless and often daring,” plays Bartók’s scorching Second Violin Concerto.
