A sensual tale told through magnificent orchestration
A definitive performance of Ravel's masterpiece ballet music, showcasing Maazel's commanding skills.
The exquisite sound of the Cleveland Orchestra and the mystical voices of the choir vividly portray this love story set in ancient Greece. From the delicate sound of the strings in the dawn scene to the overwhelming climax of the Bacchanale, Maazel fully expresses the drama inherent in the work. The excellent recording quality is also noteworthy, as the orchestra's color sense is beautifully captured in this masterpiece.
