Music reviews of Ravel: Orchestral Works; Piano Concertos; L'Enfant et les Sortilèges; Shéhérazade

Music Review: A Ravel omnium gatherum in Decca's best sound
Rating: 4 Stars

Dutoit was Decca's house conductor of French music for almost two decades, and here is gathered at budget price all the significant orchestral works as well as the two piano concertos. The spledid sonics and Dutoit's reputation will probably be enough to attract listeners who want everything from one conductor, but to my ears none of these performances rises to the very highest level.

With Boulez, Munch, and Monteux looking over his shoulder, Dutoit's readings come off as colorful, restless, bright, often brash, and lacking in that final touch of elegant style. Outside the French tradition we also have great Ravel recordings form Karajan, Reiner, Bernstein, and (in the two operas) Maazel. I'm not so sure it's such a good idea to put all one's egs in Dutoit's basket.
