ROBERT SPANO, conductor
LOUIS LORTIE, piano
Liszt: Orpheus
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 4
Debussy: Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun
Debussy: La Mer
The incarnate lyricism of Orpheus sings in Liszt’s haunting tone poem and Beethoven’s evocative concerto – brought to life by the sublime artistry of Louis Lortie. Debussy’s seductive “Prelude” is a pioneering work in Impressionism and his landmark La Mer is the definitive paean to the infinite wonders and mysteries of the sea.
