¡Ravel: Orchestral Works Vol.5 - Antar - Incidental music after works by Rimsky-Korsakov, Sheherazade
¡Lyon National Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin (conductor)
Description
[Machine Translation] At the age of 14, Ravel was exposed to Russian music for the first time at the Paris Exposition of 1889. In 1907, Ravel came across the score of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Antar" and proposed to transform the 12th century story, which had been completed as a "symphony" or "symphonic suite", into a new dramatic music, and, like Berlioz's "Symphonie fantastique", he gave the Antar a single theme. Like the "idee fixe" of Berlioz's "Symphonie fantastique", he gave the Anthem a single theme and turned it into a grand narrative. This Ravel version, which sometimes quotes from Ravel's No. 1 bis (track 1) in the style of Rimsky-Korsakov and sometimes from another work, Mlada, was never published, but this world premiere recording includes a new reading by Aman Malouf, written in 2014, with a new text by Aman Malouf, "The Symphony of the Fantasies. In this world premiere recording, the piece is revived as a "new work" with a new reading of the text by Aman Malouf, written in 2014. Slatkin and the Orchestra de Lyon present a unique work with a heavy Russian sound and an oriental atmosphere. Recorded June 11-14 and September 2.3, 2014
