Along with Debussy, Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) defines French
impressionism in music, although he is more classical, more ambiguous, and
more beguiling than his older compatriot. His orchestration is colorful
and invariably surprising; he is witty and innovative without ever being
academic, and his music is always a joy to hear. Here
are his essential recordings.
