La Mer: Debussy, Britten, Mercure

This highly-anticipated recording of orchestral music inspired by the sea was made following a series of live performances of the work with the OM last year, which were well-received by audiences and critics alike: “ … a fantastically vivid soundscape that the OM captured tenderly… Nézet-Séguin proved himself a capable purveyor of the French tradition. Pierre Mercure’s Kaléidoscope linked the program together … it was a treat to hear playing of such affectionate vibrancy as the OM devoted to Mercure’s [work].” Montreal Gazette.
