The program will feature Claude Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, considered one of the masterpieces of musical impressionism, and Igor’ Fëdorovič Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps, a work destined to remain a milestone in 20th-century musical literature.
“The evening at the Champs Elysées Theater on May 29, 1913,” say the artists, “represented the greatest scandal in music history. Among the works on the program was Claude Debussy’s Prélude à l’après -midi d’un faune, which the audience was already familiar with, and, as a world premiere, Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps. The audience was bewildered, but they were also initiated into a new musical era.”
