Sophie Bevan and Anna St茅phany are the soloists in centenary composer Claude Debussy's Wagner-infused mythical-fantasy cantata La damoiselle 茅lue.

Wagner's relationship with Paris soured over his opera Tannh盲user but Stravinsky was practically adopted by the city.

The second half features two of the latter's most colourful scores, whose striking resemblances result from the fact that Stravinsky broke off work on The Nightingale (the opera on which the symphonic poem is based) in order to write his first ballet, The Firebird.

Followed by recordings from this week's Proms Artists.
