It was in the short span of one decade, between the composition of Jeux d’eau (1901) and the Valses nobles et sentimentales (1911), that Maurice Ravel produced most of his piano solo works, which have since become classics of the piano literature. Many among the representative works of this period are covered in the present recording by Emile Naoumoff.

John Barbirolli studied cello as a boy, making his debut public appearance at the age of 12. He received a formal education at Trinity College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, from which he graduated in 1916. Upon graduation, he found a position in the Queen's Hall Orchestra, becoming its youngest member. He made his professional solo debut as a cellist in Aeolian Hall, London, in 1917. During World War I he joined the British Army; while in the service he got his first taste of conducting by leading an all-volunteer orchestra. After his service ended in 1919, he returned to the Queen's Hall Orchestra. He also resumed performances as a cello soloist, appearing with the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra. He joined and toured with the International String Quartet beginning in 1923.

Classical | Label: Aparté, Official Digital Download

The four saxophonists of the Quatuor Zahir set the scene for this second recording, which brings together the emblematic composers of twentieth-century France and their masterpieces. Ravel's Pavane pour une infante défunte and Trois Chansons, Nadia Boulanger's Trois Pièces, Poulenc's Chemins de l'amour, Charles d'Orléans's Trois Chansons, Debussy's Petite Suite and Rêverie all take on the warm timbres of their instruments in these arrangements for saxophone quartet, revealing new colours. They are echoed by two premières, Graciane Finzi's Petite Suite and Fabien Waksman's Les Lunes galantes, conceived as a fifth movement to Debussy's Petite Suite. Here the Quatuor Zahir is reaffirming its commitment to creation, its virtuosity too, but above all the singularity of its unique musical identity.
Minnesota Orchestra - Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé Suites Nos. 1 & 2, Ma Mére l'Oye & Valses Nobles (1975/2024) [24/192]

The St. Olaf Choir, Minnesota Orchestra, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski - Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé Suites Nos. 1 & 2, Ma Mére l'Oye & Valses Nobles Et Sentimentales (Remastered) (1975/2024)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/192 kHz | Front Cover & Digital Booklet | Time - 81:05 minutes | 2,64 GB
Classical | Label: Vox Records, Official Digital Download

This varied and vivid selection of works shows Ravel as the master of the ‘choreographic symphony’, words he himself used to describe his masterpiece Daphnis et Chloé, which contains some of his boldest and most resplendent music. His imagination retained a direct link to the poetry of children, as shown in Ma mère l’oye, whilst in Valses nobles et sentimentales he set out to write a sequence of waltzes following the example of Schubert. These classic VOX recordings from 1974 by Stanisław Skrowaczewski and the Minnesota Orchestra are critically acclaimed. The Elite Recordings for VOX by legendary producers Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz are considered by audiophiles to be amongst the finest sounding examples of orchestral recordings.
