The Debussy Pilgrimage
In the centenary year of the death of Claude Debussy, Jon Tolansky journeys to France to retrace the composer’s footsteps in places where he was inspired to imagine new musical ideas and sonorities that made him the most revolutionary composer of his time. Contributing to his Debussy Pilgrimage for us are the author and chief Editor of the new Durand complete edition of Debussy’s music, Denis Herlin and the acclaimed young soprano Fatma Said, winner of the Veronica Dunne International Singing Competition in Dublin last year.
Presenter/Producer: Jon Tolansky
