The year of 1913 was a monumentus shift in orchestral norms. In this podcast, we set the scene with typical songs heard in 1913. We then explore the works of Debussy and Stravinsky and try to envoke in you, the feelings of surprise and intrigue that the classical listeners at the time were feeling. Sit back and take a trip back in time with us....
