SUMMARY:Ravel & Saint-Saëns
DESCRIPTION:Oregon Symphony in Salem presents \nRavel & Saint-Saëns\nA bracing whack from the percussionist’s “slap stick” launches Ravel’s Concerto on an effervescent romp\, evoking the Harlem jazz clubs he visited with Gershwin. Riffs from the brasses and piano fireworks make for a breathless dash to the finish. Ravel’s lush Daphnis et Chloé opens with a radiant sunrise—golden strings\, shimmering harps\, bird calls—and ends with an orgiastic paean to love.
