Bolero

Album by Maurice Ravel

Boléro is a one-movement orchestral composition by French composer Maurice Ravel, composed in 1928. The piece is built on a persistent rhythmic ostinato and a gradually intensifying orchestration that unfolds through repeated melodic material and changing instrumental colours, representing a distinctive late-career exploration of rhythm and orchestral sonority in Ravel's output.
First released: 1993
