Ravel's colorful orchestral world
Charles Dutoit and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra captured the brilliance of Impressionism in 1984.
The orchestra's delicate expressiveness fully conveys the color and poetry of Ravel's orchestral works. Dutoit's clear conducting vividly brings out the composer's meticulous orchestration. The recording quality is also extremely high, making this the definitive recording for experiencing the aesthetics of French music.
