Debussy's La Mer - Part 1
from Classical Breakdown · host WETA Classical
An orchestral staple today, this work about "the sea" wasn't well received at it's premiere. Audiences may have expected a Strauss-esque symphonic poem to bring the sea to life, but Debussy was more interested in the abstract. This is part 1 of our 3 part series on Debussy's enchanting orchestral work, La Mer.Support Classical Breakdown: https://weta.org/donatefmSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
