Classical Destinations S02E04 - Paris: Claude Debussy & Maurice Ravel

The great city of light and love is the perfect backdrop to the life, music and times of Claude Debussy. Simon shows us the highlights of this sensational city. We then travel west, just outside of Paris, to the historic village of Montfort-l'Amaury where the pioneering French composer Maurice Ravel lived and worked for the last sixteen years of his life. Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra perform Ravel's Kaddisch, and the ACO's principals perform the scherzo from Debussy's String Quartet.
