[ Warner Classics Vinyl / LP ]

André Cluytens, the Belgian-born French conductor, was especially associated with France and French music of the 19th and early 20th centuries. His transcendental recordings of Ravel's complete orchestral works, made in the early 60s with the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire, are true moments of enchantment and exquisite refinement.

The respected record critic Robert Layton has described Cluytens as a conductor "unconcerned with imposing his own ego on the score; he illuminated the way rather than got in the way. His refined musicianship and unfailing taste shine through all the recordings he has left us."

Tracks:

Bolero
Rapsodie Espagnole
