Titan - Opens the season
Wagner says goodbye to Romanticism by forcing tonality -the basis of music for 300 years- to radical expressiveness. Mahler takes over: we hear mysterious voices, an ironic waltz and even the song Frère Jacques! Ravel blends the popular with the learned in his loans from jazz and intimist impressionism.
