Episode 2 - Celebrating Beautiful Sounds

‘La Mer’ (French for ‘The Sea’) is one of the most evocative pieces ever composed. The composer Claude Debussy conjures up images and sensations of the sea, creating some of the most beautiful sounds an orchestra can produce. In this episode I share insights into this piece, I continue to explore the question ‘What Is Music?’ and we discover the instruments of the Percussion Section. This episode features the first movement from ‘La Mer’ by the composer Claude Debussy. I recommend the recording by the Lucerne Festival Orchestra conducted by Claudio Abbado. Further information: I hope you enjoy the show! Please
