 | Debussy - La Mer
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan “Karajan was always a matchless conductor of La mer, and this is a thrilling performance, L'après-midi is suitably languorous and sensual, and then the Daphnis and Chloé Second Suite, though without chorus, is no-holds-barred.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

 | Les Ballets Russes Vol.2
Europa ChorAkademi, Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra, Michael Gielen, Marcello Viotti Maurice Ravel was the first French composer who received a commission from Diaghilev. "Daphnis et Chloé" is most often performed today mostly in the form of the two Suites, here thiis masterpiece is presented in its full choreographic form. Also included is Francis Poulencs " Les biches ." Poulenc's score is the backdrop for a series of amorous tableau between three muscle men and twelve excited young girls. His colorful and creative score (one of his finest) is a stylistic romp, drawing freely on everything from Mozart to Stravinsky, Folksong and Jazz, with even a little Baroque finesse thrown into the mix for good measure! “…Ravel's radiantly magical Daphnis et Chloé complete, in a glowing, ecstatic choral performance, with a glorious "Daybreak" and a thrilling closing "Danse générale". Its coupling is Poulenc's witty Les Biches ("girls of independent spirit and virtue"), and its catchily audacious opening trumpet theme and luscious Adagietto are part of a suite full of piquantly affecting nostalgia and sparkle. ...played with spirited insouciance and plangent lyricism.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
