Afternoon of a Faun
Claude Debussy's faun didn't leave a day-planner behind, so the rest of his day was a mystery. But Debussy captured a few hours of it in one of the most memorable pieces ever. It's music that's delicate and lush and shimmering, all at once. In today's show, the Cleveland Orchestra plays Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun," on tour in Lucerne, Switzerland.
