Dutoit and Debussy in Taipei

Charles Édouard Dutoit, (French pronunciation: ​[ʃaʁl e.dwaːʁ dy.twa]) OC GOQ (born 7 October 1936) is a Swiss conductor, particularly noted for his interpretations of French and Russian 20th century music. He has made influential modern recordings of Hector Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette and Maurice Ravel's ballets Daphnis et Chloé and Ma mère l'oye. He currently serves as the Principal Conductor and Artistic Director of London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

I love his " La Mer" so much that I can still hear the sound of ocean and waves after the performance for several days. 

On 6/22 in the National concert hall Taipei, elegant atmosphere was penetrated in the air by the London's   Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. 

It was not a contrast to perform Romantic French music though when Dutoit started off with a friendly, optimistic, and rather dramatic smile and gesture. 

Dutoit, a Swiss Condutor, is best known for his interpretation of 20 century French music, with much dynamic and natrual flow that you can feel as watching a play or ballet dance with real stories between lines. As for this particular concert, he conducted Ravel's Daphnnis and Chloe, you can actually image the scene and drama. 

It was an impressively impressionistic joy.
