Classical | Label: Philips | 2CD

Haitink has re-recorded much of this music for Philips with the Boston Symphony. Don't buy those records. About a decade ago something happened to Bernard Haitink that turned him into the dullest major conductor still active. Before that, he presided over a series of recordings with the Concertgebouw Orchestra which stand among the finest musical documents ever made. Exactly what induced his current interpretive coma is anyone's guess, and we're very lucky that we have stunning recordings like these preserving his fruitful artistic partnership with this great orchestra. It's hard to imagine what Philips could have been thinking in releasing two full-priced CDs with less music, when at two discs for the price of one you can have these better conducted, better sounding performances. Go figure. –David Hurwitz
I strongly disagree with David Hurwitz's strongly negative view of Haitink's current skills as an orchestral conductor. Having recently heard Haitink conduct the Vienna Philarmonic at Carnegie Hall, I think Haitink is still a first-rate interpreter of both German Romantic and Modern classical music. I'm sure the same holds true for his interpretations of Ravel's scores. Still, I will say that Haitink's tempi on this two CD set are slightly more brisk than those I heard in his relatively recent Bolero recording with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. However, the differences are quite minor, ranging no more than a few seconds to almost a minute at most.

Haitink leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra in these distinguished recordings of Ravel's major orchestral scores that probably remain among the best available. Most noteworthy are his interpretations of Bolero, Alborada del Gracioso and La Valse on the first CD; La Mere d'Oye and Daphnis et Chloe on the second. These are lush, vibrant performances enhanced by the Concertgebouw's acoustics, and they sound great with the latest image bit digital remastering. Anyone in search of a definitive collection of Ravel's orchestral scores will not be disappointed with this splendid set. ~ amazon
