Ravel: Boléro and Beyond

While Ravel's Boléro is undoubtedly his most famous work, his musical genius extends far beyond. Maurice Ravel was a master of orchestration, showcasing his skills in pieces like Daphnis et Chloé, a ballet score that exemplifies his ability to create a story through music or Pavane pour une infante défunte where the composer transports us into a dreamlike atmosphere evoking a sense of longing and wistfulness.
