Debussy: La Damoiselle Elue / Le Martyre De Saint Sebastien & Nocturnes Orchestre Philharmonique De Radio France / Maitrise De Radio France / Choeur De Radio France / Mikko Franck

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Mikko Franck continue their collaboration with Alpha Classics and here invite the Maîtrise and Chur de Radio France to join them in a Debussy program. This recording couples La Damoiselle élue, 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 Sébastien fashioned by André Caplet less than a year after the work's first performance, and which ensured it would not be forgotten by posterity.
