Debussy and Ravel from the Philharmonia Orchestra

The Philharmonia Orchestra is conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado in Debussy's La mer and Ravel's Mother Goose and Pierre-Laurent Aimard joins them in Ravel's Piano Concerto.

The Philharmonia Orchestra plays French music. Pablo Heras-Casado conducts a programme of Impressionist works which begins in the langorous afternoon of Debussy's faun and ends in the salt spray of the sea. In between, we visit the fairytale world of Ravel's Mother Goose and his jazz-infused Piano Concerto.
Recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall on 21 January.
Presented by Martin Handley
