Andris Nelsons and the TMC conducting fellows conduct Ravel, Stravinsky, and Debussy

Alternating sparkling dance music and aching melancholy, Alborada del gracioso is one of Ravel’s many tributes to the music of Spain.

Part symphony and part tone poem, Debussy’s innovative La Mer is one of the most influential pieces of the 20th century and has been as an audience favorite for more than a hundred years. La Mer was premiered in 1905 and the BSO gave the American premiere in March 1907.
