Zorionak, Maurice!
Recorded by nine-time GRAMMY Award winner Peter Laenger, Ravel’s magical opera L’Enfant et les Sortilèges kicks off his 150th birthday party at five o’clock with a cup of tea and the arrangement of its multi-ethnic Fox-trot by the OPUS KLASSIK and Schallplattenkritik nominated pianist Yi Lin Jiang.
The fiesta continues with Albéniz’ flamenco-infused Málaga: a fiery juerga from his tremendous cycle Iberia, which Ravel originally intended to orchestrate a selection of (but then turned that requested ballet into his eponymous Boléro instead).
The main celebration is surrounded by Ravel’s masterpiece La Valse, his apotheosis of the waltz that had been rejected by the Ballet Russes’ impresario, but still became (according to Bachtrack) the most performed work in the world through its multiple versions in symphonic concerts, ballets, and piano recitals.
We toast à votre santé with a glass of Albéniz’ fizzy Champagne before finally inaugurating this eclectic anniversary with more exquisite wine.
The shared joie de vivre turns the boisterous, all-night fête into a frenzied Bacchanale, the intoxicating finale from Ravel’s masterwork Daphnis et Chloé (in a percussive-melodic rendition of the ballet’s entire original 1910/11 piano reduction as a world premiere recording without any overlapping segments) from ANCLEF’s birthday gift album Apothéose infernale.
Joyeux 150ème anniversaire!
