Maurice Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé (Pierre Boulez, Berliner Philharmoniker)
Album
Ravel called Daphnis et Chloé a choreographic symphony, and it is one of the most sensuous orchestral scores ever written. Pierre Boulez and the Berlin Philharmonic, with chorus, play it with clarity and rich colour, building to a famous sunrise and a frenzied final dance. Choose it once you have enjoyed La Mer and want a bigger, more sumptuous orchestral sound.
