 tzman\, clarinet\nPiotr Gajewski\, conductor\nIn 1892\, Debussy began a 
 sensual and luminous composition inspired by a pastoral poem\,\nL&rsquo\
 ;Apr&egrave\;s-midi d&rsquo\;un Faune (&ldquo\;The Afternoon of a Faun&r
 dquo\;)\, published 16 years earlier by the great Symbolist poet St&eacu
 te\;phane Mallarm&eacute\;. The famous opening flute solo &ldquo\;brough
 t new breath to the art of music\,&rdquo\; said composer and conductor P
 ierre Boulez.\nAcclaimed pianist Brian Ganz performs the vibrant Fantais

 tist Richard Stoltzman plays Debussy&rsquo\;s dreamy and melodic Rhapsod
 y for Clarinet and Orchestra. Debussy\, who loved the sea\, never travel
 ed farther on it than across the English Channel. In La Mer\, however\, 
 his passion for the ocean is paramount\, as his orchestral music gives f
 orth its aura with subtle impressions and exquisite details.\nDEBUSSY&nb
