The sea
The sound of the wind across the water, the play of light on the waves, the shifting, undulating nature of a watery world. It's all there in Claude Debussy's "La Mer," his dramatic depiction of the sea. It's the ultimate in water music, and today we'll feature a performance of Debussy's masterpiece by the Radio France Philharmonic.
