The dappled light of a verdant woodland retreat,
a warm breeze seducing you into slumber. French impressionist Claude Debussy will elevate you to a dream-like state with the Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, inspired by a lyrical poem by Stéphane Mallarmé. Béla Bartók’s Piano Concerto N° 3 brings to mind the nature of human fragility; widely considered to be Bartók’s final work, he barely finished the final bars before drawing his last breath. After all, fate comes knocking for us all, as Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony N° 5 demonstrates so boldly.
