Maurice Ravel

Über Maurice Ravel

Maurice Ravel was a master craftsman of orchestration and one of the giants of French music. His relentless, hypnotic Boléro became one of the most performed orchestral works in history, while the tender Pavane pour une infante défunte showed his gift for melody. Alongside Debussy he defined the sound of French Impressionism while forging his own precise, jewel-like style.
