Review by Michelle Johnson

The album Daphnis Et Chloé Ballet and Ma Mère LOye by Ravel, performed by the Minnesota Orchestra under the baton of Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, is a truly mesmerizing experience. The orchestra's interpretation of Ravel's two ballets is simply breathtaking, with each note and rhythm executed with precision and emotion.

The album opens with Ma Mère LOye, a suite of five pieces inspired by fairy tales. The orchestra's performance is delicate and enchanting, with a sense of wonder and magic that captures the essence of the stories. The second half of the album features Daphnis Et Chloé, a ballet that tells the story of a shepherd and his love for a nymph. The orchestra's interpretation of the score is powerful and dramatic, with each movement building to a climactic finale that leaves the listener breathless.

Throughout the album, Skrowaczewski's direction is masterful, bringing out the nuances and subtleties of Ravel's music. The Minnesota Orchestra's musicians are equally impressive, delivering a flawless performance that showcases their technical skill and musicality.

About Ravel Minnesota Orchestra, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski

Born: March 7, 1875 (Ciboure, France). Died: December 28, 1937 (Paris, France). Joseph Maurice Ravel was a French composer, pianist and conductor. He is often associated with impressionism along with his elder contemporary Claude Debussy, although both composers rejected the term. In Ravel's piano compositions you can find harpsichord style ideas, references to the Baroque, impressionist procedures and reminiscences of romantic pianism. His music is characterized by a refined timbre and harmonic research; even if its layered and dissonant harmonic structures still remain in the tonal sphere, the traditional harmonic relationships are brought to an extreme tension (particularly in the last works). His orchestral compositions are detached from the Germanic symphonic tradition, in these works the rhythmic and timbral elements are highlighted as well as themes inspired by Spanish folklore can be found. Ravel's entire production, from the youthful and brilliant "Quartet for strings" (1902-1903) to the "Piano Concerto for the left hand" of 1931, is a succession of precious works that are to be considered among the masterpieces of the music of twentieth century In the 1920s and 1930s Ravel was internationally regarded as France's greatest living composer.
