Review by Susan K. Stewart

Les Quatre Œuvres Pour Orchestre by Ravel, André Cluytens, Société Des Concerts Du Conservatoire is a magnificent album that showcases the brilliance of Ravel's orchestral works. The album features four pieces of music, including "Rapsodie Espagnole," "Alborada del Gracioso," "La Valse," and "Ma Mère L'Oye." Each piece is performed with precision and passion by the Société Des Concerts Du Conservatoire orchestra, conducted by the legendary André Cluytens.

The album opens with "Rapsodie Espagnole," a vibrant and colorful piece that evokes the sights and sounds of Spain. The orchestra's performance is rich and full, with each instrument contributing to the overall texture of the piece. "Alborada del Gracioso" follows, a lively and playful piece that showcases the orchestra's technical prowess.

"La Valse" is perhaps the most well-known piece on the album, and the orchestra's performance is nothing short of breathtaking. The piece starts off slow and builds to a frenzied climax, with the orchestra's energy and intensity never faltering. Finally, the album closes with "Ma Mère L'Oye," a whimsical and enchanting piece that transports the listener to a world of fairy tales and magic.

About Ravel, André Cluytens, Société Des Concerts Du Conservatoire

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.
