Conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, this performance celebrated Ravel's 150th birthday. The music, which was composed around 1900 and rediscovered only in 2000, showcases Ravel's unique style, blending dramatic opera influences and Orientalist dance elements. This premiere is important not just for its rarity but also for its historical significance in understanding Ravel's early works and contributions to music.
The ability to review a premiere by Ravel is a rare occasion, given that his works are not frequently rediscovered or performed.
