Charles Munch conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra for this 1958 recording of Debussy's La Mer and Ibert's Ports of Call.
In 1958, conductor Charles Munch recorded these two works for RCA with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Claude Debussy was fascinated by the sea throughout his life, spent his childhood there and often visited the coast as an adult. He wrote "La Mer" in Paris around 1904/05 and sketches a chimera, something that grows out of fantastic colors, incalculable winds and strange voices. Jacques Ibert's "Port Of Call" was also written after a trip to the Mediterranean and is inspired by the musical styles found there.
