Recorded Live at Symphony Hall on May 1st, 2025.
Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra
Benjamin Zander, conductor

Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, is—to only a slightly lesser degree than The Rite of Spring—a work that revolutionized music around the beginning of the 20th century, with its gossamer textures, subtle voluptuousness and elusive harmonies.
