Hard on the heels of his recording of Berlioz, Leonard Slatkin brings out this recording of orchestral favorites by Maurice Ravel.
Ravel orchestrated his piano pieces to great effect, including Alborada del gracioso, with its suggestive color, and Pavane pour une infante défunte which evokes nostalgic pathos. Rapsodie espagnole shimmers with anticipation before bursting forth into Spanish dance rhythms. His beloved Sherehazade is joined here by his most popular and enduring work, the 'orchestrated crescendo' of Bolero.
