BEST OF RAVEL
4 videos • 53 views • by Victoria S. Maurice Ravel, a small and obsessively neat French composer, wrote some of the most intensely beautiful and perfectly-crafted "impressionist" music of the 20th century. He actually didn't write that many pieces altogether, since he composed slowly and deliberately. But what he did produce is astonishingly high quality. Some people even like to think that Ravel never wrote a bad piece - I like to agree with them....his fantastically colorful orchestral works are some of my favorites, and never fail to stir up nostalgia and awe whenever I hear them.
