Staatskapelle Berlin (State Chapel Berlin) by Various, Joi 29 Mart. 2018, De la (2018/2018), Dirijor Daniel Barenboim, Berliner Philharmonie, Berlin, Germany

Only a few days after the 100th anniversary of the death of Claude Debussy, the Staatskapelle Berlin and its general music director are paying homage to the great French composer, who decisively changed the music of his time and set it on new paths. The Fantaisie for piano and orchestra is an early work and the only composition for this instrumentation that Debussy wrote. It is combined with a work that occupies a special position in Debussy's oeuvre, the music for Gabriele d'Annunzio's mystery play »Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien«, composed in 1911. Solemnity and pathos interweave these sounds, which are not surprisingly reminiscent of Wagner's »Parsifal«, but are nevertheless completely shaped by Debussy's individual style.
