Ravel鈥檚 Daphnis et Chlo茅

Episode 6 of 8

The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform Maurice Ravel鈥檚 Daphnis et Chlo茅 ballet score, and with soprano Jane Archibald, Olivier Messiaen鈥檚 Po猫mes pour Mi.

Join the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra at Glasgow鈥檚 City Halls, where Ryan Wigglesworth makes his debut as chief conductor. For his first outing, he has chosen one of the great ballet scores, Maurice Ravel鈥檚 Daphnis et Chlo茅. Dreamlike and seductive, it has a breathtaking, otherworldly beauty, as it conjures up visions of mythical Greek landscapes with an unrestrained sensuality.

Also in tonight鈥檚 repertoire and no less reserved in his use of colour, Olivier Messiaen鈥檚 astonishing series of songs Po猫mes pour Mi fuses the physical and spiritual into something unforgettable. The soprano is Jane Archibald, accompanied by the 大象传媒 Singers.
