Roth Les Siecles

Ravel Contes De Ma Mere L Oye Roth Les Siecles

When Ravel orchestrated his works, the scoring emerged with total spontaneity, as if by magic, for he had already worked out his orchestral colours with immense care at the piano. The fascination of the Orient or the fantastic, poetic homages, the enthralling world of childhood - everything here is suffused with subtle refinement, in the use of forms inherited from the 18th century as in the choice of sonorities suited for storytelling. Who better than Les Siècles could recreate this world, as magical as that of the rarely performed Shéhérazade overture?
