RAVEL: Arrangements for Wind Quintet [CD de audio] Bram van Sambeek, The Orlando Quintet and Ravel

This essential album presents the arrangements for a wind ensemble of three of Maurice Ravel's greatest achievements, which in this version reveal a series of nuances of enchanting beauty. Throughout his career, Ravel tirelessly transcribed and arranged most of his works and demonstrated an incredible talent for instrumental tone and color when orchestrating some works by his contemporary composers (including Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition). In this way, you can discover wonderfully beautiful details of the Sonatina (originally written for piano), the famous String Quartet and the Ma mère l'oye Suite (written for four-hand piano). Composed of a flute, an oboe, a clarinet, a bassoon and a horn, the Orlando Quintet immerses us in a completely new sonic microcosm, without doing any injustice to the original works and demonstrating better than any words that a work of high level does not It loses none of its beauty with any outfit you run. An album of surprising beauty. Orlando Quintet
