Maurice RavelDaphnis et Chloé
(Complete Ballet)
Dallas Symphony Orchestra & Chorus
Eduardo Mata
RCA RL 13 458
A tribute to the late Mexican Maestro Eduardo Mata, who died prematurely in 1995 in a plane crash as he was flying his own Piper and whose art I had the pleasure to enjoy live in Florence in the 80s - presenting one of the most beautiful discographic achievements with his Texan ensemble.
Without doubt, one of the most elegant and sophisticated scores of all times, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé calls for a virtuoso and precise orchestral playing, coupled by a fine touch for colouring by the conductor.
Mata and the superb Dallas Symphony do not disappoint, in this stunning early digital recording.
