"Louis Langrée conducts French masterpieces. Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, with shimmering sounds from the sinuous flute introduction to the final languorous chords. Nocturnes’s vivid images of clouds, festivals, and seductive siren songs. Met Opera star Isabel Leonard (Marnie) sings Ravel’s exotic song cycle Shéhérazade. Plus, Scriabin’s sensuous tone poem that ends in ecstasy."
