The Philharmonia Orchestra continues its Paris The City of Light Season with masterpieces by Debussy and Messiaen. The programme begins with an atmospheric three-minute work for solo flute before solo singers, a female chorus and orchestra perform Debussy's setting of the Pre-Raphaelite, poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti's The Bless猫d Damozel. This ravishing early work by Debussy was written when, like most of his contemporaries, Debussy had fallen under the spell of Wagner as the blessed damozel yearns for fulfilment of love in death. And the spirit of Wagner also lies at the heart of the intoxicating world of Messiaen's gargantuan 罢耻谤补苍驳补濒卯濒补, "A love song and hymn of joy, time, movement, rhythm, life, and death".
