Stay up late tonight (12:05am, Thursday) with Classical MPR for our exclusive Euro-Classic. That sensation of the podium, Gustavo Dudamel, conducts the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra performing the 2nd Suite from Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe in a concert from October, 2009, recorded at the Salle Pleyel in Paris.
The original ballet score was the largest work Ravel ever composed, calling for an enormous orchestra (with 15 distinct percussion instruments), and a wordless chorus, heard both onstage and offstage. From that massive score came two suites, with the second suite drawing its music from the ballet's final three numbers.
So try to squeeze in a nap today and stay up late with us tonight!
