Work: Gymnopédie no. 1

Silliness can find a place in art, as we see in some of Erik Satie’s work titles, but sometimes it is just silly.

A master at clever programming, Maestro Iván Fischer surrounded Dutilleux with well-known pieces by Debussy, Ravel and Satie as part of the week-long French Days segment of the Bridging Europe 2016 series at Budapest’s Müpa.
