Debussy / Orchestre Philharmonique De Radio France - La Damoiselle - Music CD

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Mikko Franck continue their collaboration with Alpha Classics and here invite the Matrise and Chur de Radio France to join them in a Debussy program. This recording couples La Damoiselle lue, a work described by the composer as a 'little oratorio in a mystical and somewhat pagan vein', the Nocturnes for orchestra, composed between 1897 and 1899, and the 'symphonic fragments' from Le Martyre de saint Sbastien fashioned by Andr Caplet less than a year after the work's first performance, and which ensured it would not be forgotten by posterity.
