A century ago a new generation of composers threw themselves into wondrous sounds and challenged the conventional emotional palette. Igor Stravinsky set the air ablaze, Paul Dukas and Claude Debussy wrapped the eastern lands of dreams in a fragrant fairy‑music. Conductor Fabien Gabel dives into these colours headfirst. The brilliant violinist Veronika Eberle plays Bartók’s concerto, in which the heart of a young prodigy sings: broken, but not extinguished.
