Title: Dazzling interpretations
Review: These interpretations of Ravel Orchestral works stand out from the rest for the Karajan's grandiloquence.Rapsodie Espagnole is intense and sensual. Le Tombeau de Couperin has the magnifcence that requires a work composed to honour Ravel's friends killed in war. Magnificent and misterious interpretation of La Valse, Karajan is the only one who attain a real viennese vals spirit mixed with the caothic character of the work, originaly named "Vienna".The weak point of the recording is the sound quality, particulary in Bolero and Alborada del Gracioso. The microphones are placed so far that some sections of the orchestra sound in the background. Skip these tracks.
