Review title: Daphnis et Chloé Open and Laid Bare
Product review: This morning was my first hearing of this recording. As "advertised" by a well-worn reputation, here is a clinically precise and scrupulously detailed rendering of this sprawling score (Daphnis) seemingly devoid of any spontaneity -- but the orchestra sure sounds nice! And after hearing this La Valse, one would be hard-pressed to justify its title, though the performance may be genuine to Ravel's putative purpose as a statement on the early 20th century unraveling of old European mores. Though I'm certain Boulez's approach to these works has its adherents, I'd be hesitant to recommend this recording to a sheer novice as an introduction. The strict audiophile will probably love it, however, for its incredibly wide dynamic range.I remember this being dubbed somewhere as "a Daphnis et Chloé for the 21st Century". Well, at least it doesn't contribute to global warming.
