Regarding Ravel
A majestic ode to Ravel's Boléro, and his 150th birthday.
We celebrate Maurice Ravel's 150th birthday with a concert that combines his most beloved music with that of two befriended colleagues. André Jolivet winks in his irresistible Bassoon Concerto (with our own Lola Descours) at the jazz that Ravel loved so much. And chess friend Sergei Prokofiev concludes his Fifth Symphony with what sounds like a fantastically twisted ode to Ravel's own Boléro. In gloria!

twisted ode to the Boléro

Ferocious drive... but also a beautiful, honeyed introspection.
