Tortelier's time with the Ulster Orchestra was extraordinarily fertile and these recordings represent the summit of their combined achievement.
Since I was a teenager, Ravel's music has always spoken directly to me', says Yan Pascal Tortelier. It was in 1989, when he was appointed Principal Conductor and Artistic Director of the Ulster Orchestra, that he broached the subject of recording some of his native French repertoire with Chandos. The reaction of Chandos' chairman, Brian Couzens, was enthusiastic. He recalls: 'Suddenly I found myself presented with the opportunity to record all of the orchestral music of Ravel and Debussy at one go… this was extraordinary… many of my French colleagues hardly have the chance to do half of this repertoire…'
