MTT & Jean-Yves Thibaudet by Debussy, Messiaen, Villa-Lobos, 从 (2023/2023), 导体 Michael Tilson Thomas, Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, United States

Transcendent and voluptuous, Claude Debussy’s Prélude à L’Après-midi d’un faune is imbued with a gentle luster that lights the music from within, while Heitor Villa-Lobos’ Chôros No.10 evokes a Brazilian rainforest. Jean-Yves Thibaudet joins Michael Tilson Thomas for Olivier Messiaen’s Trois petites liturgies de la Présence Divine, a work thatintermingles birdsong with spiritual mysticism, and Debussy’s Fantaisie—inspired by the sounds of Javanese gamelan.
