La Mer

La Mer

Debussy's "La Mer" and Sibelius's Violin Concerto exemplify musical impressionism. "La Mer" dematerializes and dissolves, focusing on water, waves, and wind. Conversely, Sibelius's concerto offers vivid imagery of Scandinavian landscapes. His tone poem "The Oceanides" depicts the daughters of Oceanus with sparkling water music. The hr-Sinfonieorchester's "Nature & Earth" concert series opens with this performance, exploring nature's beauty, vitality, power, and fragility. The concert is about 120 minutes long including intermission.
