Ravel: Orchestral Works, Vol. 1
Jennifer Gilbert (violin)
Orchestre National de Lyon, Leonard Slatkin
Slatkin draws a vivid sound from the Lyon players, with a wide range of dynamics and colours. No one could do more for the early Shéhérazade overture...Boléro too comes off well, with no accelerando... —

Ravel: Orchestral Works, Vol. 5
André Dussolier (narrator), Isabelle Druet (mezzo-soprano)
Orchestre National de Lyon, Leonard Slatkin
this is a useful first recording of what is an intriguing historical curiosity. —
-
The sound is very good for CD…enabling the colours of Ravel's score to shine. —
-
This is very clever programming...Slatkin avoids making Valses nobles et sentimentales sound merely a melancholic prophecy of La valse...a splendidly characterised La valse, the lusciousness... —
-
A mixed bag overall, but the Schumann is a rarity and worth having. —
-

Piano Concertos & Tzigane
François Dumont (piano), Jennifer Gilbert (violin)
