What is your favourite Bolero ( Ravel ) ?
Posted by: 'haroldbudd' on 21 January 2009
I just had iTunes on random and found myself suddenly hypnotized for about 14 minutes listening to Ravel's Bolero performed by Ernest Ansermet and L'orchestre de la Suisse Romande.
I remember years ago hearing a Karajan version and not liking it although I cannot recall exactly why, and I used to have, when I was much younger, an RCA Living Stereo version with Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony which I remember really liking but sadly misplaced somehow. ( it had a nice pic of a really hot Andalusian girl on it which may have influenced how much I liked it ! )
just wondering what other members faves of this piece are and why because I would like to try out some others
thanx
