As a youth, I never liked Ravel's Bolero ... thought it was too repititious. Now much later in life, I truly appreciate this work - now that I do, the local classical stations seldom play it ... in my youth years they played it almost too much .. wonder why the change by the broadcasters over the years? :confused:

i was quite dissapointed to bolero when i first hear it.. but then i heard Leonard Bernstein's version of new york philharmornic, of course.. Bernstein never disspointed anyone in any piece he conduct

Hi,
I'm new to this website and I came across this topic of Ravel - he's one of my favourite composers! Has anyone heard the new recording of piano works by Artur Pizarro??? very impressive and highly recommended. anyone interested in Ravel should have a look at it on his website: http://www.linnrecords.com//recording-the-complete-works-of-ravel-vol--1.aspx
Bye!

That is my third fave all-time piece of music. Does anyone know what it is? I find it doesn`t get mentioned all that often; the Bolero is certainly much more well-known. My fave parts are at (according to the backwards counter) 8.40, 8.09-7.02 and 2.20-end. There are two bad cuts, and the beginning is missing, but the performance is very good; good tempi and dynamics. Oddly enough I heard this piece on the radio today, but the performance was too 'weenie.' This is much better.

Sigh, I just love this piece of music... aaaahhh... so lush, so languid at times, yet full of raw passion at others...

I think she's wearing a Easter dress :grin:

These are excerpts from Daphnis and Chloe, a work which never ceases to amaze me. Even if this version does not include the female choir in the closing bacchanale, I could still hear them at the end.;)

Hi ON,

Ok, we`ll go with Easter dress. :grin: She sure can play, probably no matter what she wears.

Yes, there`s quite a bit missing in the Daphnis video, but what`s there is excellent. I actually find the piece works either way, with or without the choir. Blasphemous, I know. :grin:
