Digital Booklet
Leonard Slatkin leads the Orchestre National de Lyon and a cast of acclaimed soloists on these selections of Maurice Ravel’s music for the stage, works that are as subtle and expressively poised as can be imagined. On the Spanish-tinged L’Heure espagnole Ravel breathes new life into the Italian genre of the opera buffa, enhancing the comedy in the plot by giving it a gentle human poignancy and poetic presence. Slatkin and his forces unveil the clarity of Ravel’s vocal writing and his signature harmonic magic and luminous orchestration, making this opera a delight for the ear. Don Quichotte à Dulcinée was Ravel’s last composition, imbuing Cervantes’s famous character with aristocratic Spanish swagger as well as a kind of heroic tenderness and vulnerability.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
