Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin (1917) honors friends lost in WWI with luminous Baroque dances—more grace than grief. In the 1919 orchestration, the oboe sings. As Ravel’s 150th nears, revisit Jaime Martín with Frankfurt Radio Symphony. Favorite movement? #Ravel150 #Orchestral

Can't get enough Ravel this week, for the big 150th birthday party. Hadn't seen this performance (c. 1999?) of La Valse — with Mariss Jansons and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra until today. As noted elsewhere, the oboe section seems to be having a particularly good time

More for Ravel's 150th birthday (yesterday): Alborada del gracioso and Rapsodie espagnole, here with Les Siècles and conductor Adrien Perruchon, from 22 May 2024 at Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

My first time hearing the ensemble, which sounds marvelous.

Two hours & 9 minutes of music, every minute perfection.

Not a lot. Another pianist-composer whose career was five years shorter, Beethoven, wrote at least five times as much.

Notice that in nearly every photograph I've posted today, Ravel is smoking or holding a cigarette.

"Ravel smoked almost constantly and he was hooked on French Caporals."

"He would be annoyed when journalists would write about his genius. 'Nonsense!' he'd say. 'I know music better than a lot of people, but that is all. I'm just a very careful worker, just like a good cabinet maker - that's my talent'."

"The surface of a composition by Ravel was sure to be modern for its decade. But at heart he was a French classic. He was classic in his basic formalism, his faultless taste, his clarity & symmetry of arrangement & economy of means."
