Debussy & Tchaikovsky: Ilona Domnich & Sholto Kynoch
13 October 2018, 10:00pm 27 July 2024 - 12:47am
In the summers of 1880-1882, the young Debussy was employed by Nadezhda von Meck, the patron of Tchaikovsky, to accompany her family as teacher and musical companion as they travelled to Russia, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. We hear songs from this formative period for Debussy, alongside romances by Tchaikovsky from the same years.
