About "3 Gymnopédies: No. 3, Lent et grave (Orch. C. Debussy)" by CSR Symphony Orchestra, Bratislava
Debussy's orchestration of Satie's third Gymnopédie is a study in slow decay, its 'lent et grave' tempo a funeral march for fading light. The melody hangs in the air like incense, each note a sigh of resigned beauty.
