Daphnis et Chloé, Le Tombeau de Couperin, and Ma Mère l’Oye anchor this new three CD box set of orchestral works by Maurice Ravel, recorded by the Orchestre National de France and its Music Director, Cristian Măcelaru at the Ravel Festival in Paris earlier this year. The festival marked the 150th anniversary of the French composer’s birth and celebrated the orchestra’s history. Ravel’s music remains central to its repertoire, and has been ever since its founding, in January 1934. Notably, Le Tombeau de Couperin is presented in a version respective of the order of the original piano suite and is also supplemented by David Molard Soriano’s two unpublished orchestrations. La Valse, Une barque sur l’océan, Pavane pour une infante défunte, Alborada del gracioso, Rapsodie espagnole, and Boléro complete this near three-hour compendium.
