Digital Booklet
|
|||||
"... a performance that’s full of sweep and sparkling colour ... Slatkin and the orchestra play every note with a welcome degree of expression."
- American Record Guide
"Four Stars. This is very clever programming ... a splendidly characterized La valse, the lusciousness and glitter of the opening dance captured as much as the grisly build-up to its final horrifying climax."
- BBC Music Magazine
"... (Slatkin) shows real empathy with this magical repertoire and he draws playing of uncommon composure and contagious application from his scrupulously prepared Lyons band ... sound is commendably truthful and wide-ranging."
- Gramophone
This is the second volume of works by Maurice Ravel from Leonard Slatkin and the Lyon National Orchestra, featuring the composer's Valses nobles et sentimentales, a vivid mixture of atmospheric impressionism, intense expression and modernist wit. Ravel’s fascination with the waltz is further explored in La valse, a mysterious evocation of a vanished imperial epoch.
