Canellakis Conducts Messiaen and La Mer

Karina Canellakis conducts Debussy’s La Mer, which shimmers with a multitude of orchestral textures in its portrayal of the sea. Messiaen’s Les Offrandes oubilées is a profound expression of his devout faith, and Berg’s Violin Concerto — here performed by Veronika Eberle — blends modern compositional techniques with deep emotions. This concert begins with a musical meditation by Saariaho.
