Maurice Ravel’s ballet Daphnis et Chloé was already hailed as a masterpiece on the day of its premiere. Commissioned by the famous Ballets Russes, it gained popularity mainly in the form of two orchestral suites. In this Suite, the references to ancient Greece, from which the ballet’s libretto derives, are subtle and impressionistic, thanks principally to the composer’s masterful handling of the orchestra. Ravel brings out the gamut of colouristic possibilities in Daphnis et Chloé, enriching the orchestra with the most beautiful and natural sound of the human voice.
