L'enfant prodigue / La damoiselle elue

Album by Claude Debussy & Jessye Norman & José Carreras & Dietrich Fischer‐Dieskau & Ileana Cotrubaș & Glenda Maurice & Gary Bertini

This album is a recording of two early vocal works by Claude Debussy, composed in 1884 and 1888. They exemplify Debussy's early move towards impressionistic harmonic colour, featuring modal melodies, transparent orchestration and symbolist-influenced vocal writing that bridges his conservatory training and his later mature works.

First released: 1996
