Spanish conductor Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos, who died in June, conducted The Philadelphia Orchestra this past season. The program featured the music of two French composers who wrote and circulated in the same artistic circles in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. During Fruhbeck's visit, WRTI's Susan Lewis talked with the Maestro about the imagery and musicality of Debussy and Ravel.
On Sunday, August 3, 2014, WRTI re-broadcasts The Philadelphia Orchestra in a concert led by Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos. The program includes Debussy's La Mer and Ravel's Suite No. 2 from Daphnis and Chloe, as well as Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole for violin and orchestra.
