La mer and Lamsma
Indulge in a feast of sumptuous French delights! “Stunning” (Chicago Tribune) violinist Simone Lamsma performs a feat of dazzling virtuoso strength with three tour de force showpieces: Ravel’s smoldering, gypsy-inspired whirlwind, Chausson’s dreamy reverie, and Dutilleux’s lyrical Sur le même accord (“on the same chord”). In Debussy’s La mer, fleeting moments of singular beauty—the iridescent glint of light on water, the foamy splash of waves—dissolve into a shimmering impression of the sea and all its mystical allure.
