Ravel: Orchestral Works, Vol. 4 - Daphnis et Chloe / Slatkin, Spirito, Lyon National Orchestra
Listen to the Naxos Podcast to learn more about this release
Composed for Sergey Diaghilevâs Ballets Russes, Ravelâs âsymphonie chorĂ©graphiqueâ Daphnis et ChloĂ© is based on a classical Greco-Roman love story set on the island of Lesbos. He described the work as âa vast musical frescoâ, and with its extraordinarily passionate music, lush harmonies and orchestration, is considered both his masterpiece and the epitome of Impressionism in music. Orchestrated from the third of his Miroirs for piano, Ravelâs Une barque sur lâocĂ©an is an evocative portrayal of the ever-changing moods of the sea.

REVIEWS:
This performance and recording comes close to fulfilling all of Ravelâs requirements. Slatkin paces the score admirably, even when he sets a spanking pace for the opening of the piratesâ dance. The orchestra find no difficulties in coping with the articulation of the notes here or in the final dance. I would put this Daphnis high on the list of currently available recordings.
â MusicWeb International
The shimmering orchestration and lush harmonies that epitomize impressionism are lovingly rendered by Slatkin and the French orchestra. While Daphnis et ChloĂ© is most often presented as two suites for orchestra, this performance also includes the atmospheric choral parts, sung by Spirito, a body consisting of the Choruses and Soloists of Lyon and the Britten Chorus. Naxos provides remarkably clear and deep sound, so the finer points of Ravelâs scores are easily heard.
