La Valse / Le Tombeau de Couperin

This collection is a pair of orchestral works by French composer Maurice Ravel, composed and orchestrated between 1914 and 1920. The music blends late-Romantic orchestral colour with neoclassical clarity, juxtaposing dance-derived rhythms and baroque-inspired forms to reflect a transitional moment in Ravel's output after the First World War and his engagement with both modernist textures and historical references.
