Georg Friedrich Haas in conversation with Götz Teutsch Simon Rattle conducts Brahms, Debussy and Haas
Anyone who thinks of Impressionism in music thinks of Claude Debussy’s multi-coloured, shimmering tone poem La Mer. In this concert from February 2014, Sir Simon Rattle contrasts this with Johannes Brahms’s Third Symphony whose many beauties include the theme of the Allegretto, possibly the most yearning melody of all time. This concert also includes the world premiere of a new work by Georg Friedrich Haas.
