3: Tyrants and Liberators "In 1889 ... I was
Wagnerian to the point of forgetting the simplest principles of civility," wrote Debussy. Robin Holloway explores the music inspired by "tyrants, liberators and kindred spirits", including the cantata La Damoiselle elue with Victoria de los
Angeles (soprano), the 1912 ballet Jeux and a scene from the opera Pelleas et Melisande.
