A Marvelous Recording and a Great Bargain To Boot
Since I think Homer is being somewhat silly in his one-sentence put-down of Ravel, Abbado, The Berlin Philharmonic *and* The LSO as more or less capable only of what he calls "Salon Music", I shall rise to the bait. Ravel is a serious composer of some very great music (and few pieces of music are as serious as La Valse, which virtually documents the collapse of European civilization during the First World War). And I could continue, but will spare everyone.
BUT: I totally agree with Homer that these CDs deserve five stars. The music is superlatively played - and, for a pretty low price, includes all of Ravel's orchestral music.
Salon music at its best.
What a perfect match! Ravel, a composer who can produce nothing serious but salon music, Abbado, a conductor who almost brought the once venerable Berliner Philharmoniker to a salon band, and the LSO, though still performing respectable works, a regular feature in salon music production.
