A century after his death on 25 March 1918, many Harmonia Mundi artists are eager to pay tribute to Claude Debussy, the magician of melody and timbre, the great ‘colourist’ and father of modern music.
Alongside two shimmering masterpieces, ‘La Mer’ and the celebrated ‘Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune’, the Symphonic Fragments from ‘Le Martyre de saint Sébastien’ receive loving attention from the distinguished musicians of the Philharmonia Orchestra, outstandingly conducted by Maestro Pablo Heras-Casado.
