A 1954 recording of Maurice Ravel's late fantastical opera "L'Enfant et Enchantment," conducted by the master Ernest Ansermet.
The performance by Ansermet, a well-known interpreter of Ravel's works, and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande boasts unparalleled perfection in terms of precision and color.
Ravel's distinctive orchestration and diverse rhythms vividly depict a story woven by anthropomorphic furniture and animals. The music, which effortlessly blends jazz, waltz, Spanish, and even oriental influences, truly deserves to be called a treasure trove of 20th-century French music. The clear French expression of the soloists and the Geneva Motet Choir also accentuates the work's fantastical quality.
