Claude Debussy — born on this date in 1862 — hated the label "impressionist"; in fact, he had his own word to describe critics who used the term: "imbeciles." Evening Music celebrates the maverick composer all week long; tonight brings us pianist Paul Jacobs and the second set of Debussy's "Images."
Later in the evening, it's Anton Bruckner's ode to Wagner, his Symphony No. 3 (George Szell conducts the Staatskapelle Dresden). Martha Argerich brings her piano chops to Manuel De Falla's "Nights in the Gardens of Spain" with the Paris Orchestra; we'll also hear spanish-themed works by Gaspar Cassadó, Isaac Albeniz, and that most popular of medieval composers, Anonymous.
