Simon Rattle Leads Debussy and Ravel

Legendary conductor Simon Rattle returns to Philadelphia in a program showcasing works for which he has won particular acclaim: his “radiant, dreamy” (Classical Candor) La Mer, his focus on the “sheer sensual beauty” of John Adams’s Harmonielehre (Bachtrack), and his interpretation of Daphnis and Chloe that “quickly revealed the work’s pulsing energy underneath” (Opera Wire).
