CMS in partnership with DG Concerts: Debussy/Stucky/Saariaho/Dalbavie
The first project of the DG Concerts collaboration featured a stimulating and critically acclaimed CMS program. The three chamber sonatas of a planned cycle of six that Claude Debussy was able to compose before his death in 1918 are coupled with the “completion” of the French master’s ambitious project by three of the most exciting creative voices on the current musical scene: French composer Marc-André Dalbavie, Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, and American composer Steven Stucky.
DG Concerts is Deutsche Grammophon’s revolutionary initiative for recording and releasing concert performances by orchestral collaborators.
