A Pupil of Claude Monet
Claude Debussy once said that he hated the term impressionism. And yet, he also wrote to a friend, "You do me a great honor by calling me a pupil of Claude Monet." Conductor David Robertson shares his thoughts on the parallels between Debussy's music and Monet's painting, and leads the New York Philharmonic in a ravishing performance of Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun."
