La mer; Nocturnes; Jeux; Rhapsodie pour clarinette et orchestre

Pierre Boulez conducts the Cleveland Orchestra through a masterful, highly detailed interpretation of the seminal French impressionist's most famous orchestral works. The incredibly precise recording highlights the deeply atmospheric, highly texturally complex evocations of nature and the sea that revolutionized early 20th-century classical music. It is widely considered one of the definitive modern performances of these highly fluid, remarkably colorful orchestrations.
