This unique DVD-Edition for the Debussy year, issued to coincide with the 100th anniversary of his passing (March 25), brings together three legendary conductors and orchestras, with their interpretation of Debussy’s iconic masterpiece “La Mer” (1905): The set features Claudio Abbado, Daniel Barenboim and Eugene Ormandy conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lucerne Festival Orchestra and The Philadelphia Orchestra. The programmatic nature of Debussy’s masterpiece La Mer made it a pioneering work of musical impressionism. This is clearly evident in the formal structure of La Mer: For instance in movement two, Jeux de vagues – “play of the waves”, in which the unique use of dynamics, swelling and receding likes waves, dramatic shifts of rhythm and unfettered expressiveness allow the musical material to develop organically from within. These dynamic and rhythmic shifts combine to produce a fascinating musical experience.
Additionally, the piece is explained in a 30-minute documentary Debussy: La Mer from the series “Masters of Classical Music” – an informative and captivating guide. Hosted by Paul Roberts, it lets the viewer travel back in time to experience the birth places of the composition and get introduced to the work, whilst gaining insight into Debussy’s life. Includes the fascinating documentary “Music cannot be learned” – by Georges Gachot, giving deep insights into the life and work of Claude Debussy based on reports by those who encountered the great composer in person. Repertoire Claude Debussy: La Mer – Trois esquisses symphoniques: De l’aube á midi sur la mer; Jeux de vagues; Dialogue du vent et de la mer Bonus: Debussy: Childrens Corner, performed by Zoltán Kocsis, recorded 1991 (15 Min.)
