DEBUSSY La Mer SAINT-SAENS Piano Concerto 2 BIZET Symphony in C FABIEN GABEL conductor BERTRAND CHAMAYOU piano As Claude Debussy gazed out over the sea at Eastbourne, he was, putting the finishing touches to his famous depiction of the ocean's power, playfulness and poetry. It was the magisterial and surging tone poem La Mer: a summoning of orchestral washes and fogs, and the peak of musical impressionism. Other delights from the pens of French composers join it here: Romanticism that's tidy and gratifying from Camille Saint-Saens, and, in contrast, impassioned and fervent from Georges Bizet.
