About

Maurice Ravel was the first French composer who received a commission from Diaghilev. ‘Daphnis et Chloé’ is most often performed today in the form of the two Suites but here this masterpiece is presented in its full choreographic form.

Also included is Francis Poulenc’sLes Biches’. Poulenc’s score is the backdrop for a series of amorous tableau between three muscle men and twelve excited young girls. His colourful and creative score (one of his finest) is a stylstic romp, drawing freely on everything from Mozart to Stravinsky, Folksong and Jazz, with even a little Baroque finesse thrown into the mix for good measure!

Conductors:
- Michael Gielen (Ravel)
- Marcello Viotti (Poulenc)
