Karajan conducts Ravel and Debussy

Herbert von Karajan was a master of the fine blending of acoustic colours. This quality is shown to its best advantage in this programme of masterpieces of French Impressionism. Works include Debussy’s multifaceted La Mer, and his lascivious, dream-like Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, and Ravel’s Suite No. 2 from Daphnis et Chloé, a work which combines shimmering transience with uncompromising energy.
