Обложка альбома «Ravel: Orchestral Works» — Basque National Orchestra & Robert Trevino

Although he spent most of his life in Paris, Ravel was born in the Basque region on the border of France and Spain. This album marks a homecoming for the composer, with six of his greatest orchestral masterpieces performed by the Basque National Orchestra. Starting with the fizzing energy of “La valse”, a satirical post-war glance at the Viennese waltz, the album goes on to explore his love of Spain, including “Alborada del gracioso” with its guitar-like pizzicatos, castanets and shimmering strings, and the gorgeously orchestrated, endlessly imaginative <i>Rapsodie espagnole</i>. Ravel’s touching “Pavane pour une infante défunte”, inspired by Velázquez’s portrait of a Spanish princess, showcases the orchestra’s sumptuous sound, while his most famous work, “Bolero”, brings the curtain down with a display of mesmerising rhythmic control and a final surge of euphoria.
