A sheer delight: arrangements for wind ensemble of three of Ravel's masterpieces!
Ravel himself was an avid arranger/transcriber of his own music, a master orchestrator, with an incredible ear for timbre and colour. A real treat therefore to listen to these excellent arrangements of the Sonatine (original piano solo), the string quartet and the popular suite from Ma mère l'oye (original piano 4 hands). The combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn offers a completely new spectrum of sounds and colours, without doing any injustice to the original: good music stands firm in any good arrangement!
Superb performances by Dutch elite players, soloists and first desk players of the Amsterdam and Rotterdam orchestras.
Tracks:
String Quartet in F major
Ma Mère l'Oye - Suite
