Maurice Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé (Complete Ballet in Three Parts)

Lyon National Orchestra; Markl

Ravel’s masterpiece, Daphnis et Chloé, was composed for the Ballets Russes and premièred in 1912. He described his sumptuous score, for large orchestra, wind machine and wordless chorus, as “a choreographic symphony in three parts … a vast musical fresco … faithful to the Greece of my dreams”.

Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"We know from the discs made with the Lyon National Orchestra when John Eliot Gardiner was music director how brilliantly this opera orchestra can play, matching any rival in France. This Naxos disc, in dazzling sound, demonstrates that under its latest music director, Jun Märkl, its standards remain just as high. This is one of the most spectacular of showpieces among ballet scores, and the Lyon orchestra gives a powerful and subtle performance, with the wind and brass soloists outstanding. "
