Bolero / Rapsodie Espagnole

Album by Maurice Ravel & London Symphony Orchestra & Michael Tilson Thomas

This release is a recorded collection of orchestral works by the French composer Maurice Ravel, composed in the early 20th century (1907–08 and 1928). The music combines impressionistic orchestral colours with Spanish-influenced rhythms and vivid instrumental textures, often built on repetitive rhythmic patterns, and represents key examples of Ravel's mature orchestral style and his interest in exoticism and dance forms.
