It's Friday night and it sounds like...

...Claude Debussy, as today is his birthday.  So here is Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic playing Prelude a l'apres midi d'un faune, without doubt my favourite piece of Debussy, although his Martyrdom of Saint Sebastiane is a very, very close second.

Oh why not...because it's his birthday, have a listen to a bit of both and revel in the exquisite tone colours of this endlessly fascinating composer.  Have a great weekend.
