Boléro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel. Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian ballerina Ida Rubenstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous musical composition.[2] Before Boléro, Ravel had composed large scale ballets (such as Daphnis et Chloé, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909–1912), suites for the ballet (such as the second orchestral version of Ma Mère l'Oye, 1912), and one-movement dance pieces (such as La Valse, 1906–1920). Apart from such compositions intended for a staged dance performance, Ravel had demonstrated an interest in composing re-styled 
dances, from his earliest successes (the 1895 Menuet and the 1899 Pavane) to his more 
mature works like Le tombeau de Couperin (which takes the format of a dance suite).

Boléro epitomises Ravel's preoccupation with restyling and reinventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement: the two piano concertos and the Don Quichotte à Dulcinée song cycle were the only compositions that followed Boléro.

'A Broken Heart': 2. Only You

 voix de soprano pénétrante, pleine, riche, rayonnante et bien modulée... Son intonation était pure, son trille magnifique, son contrôle de la respiration extraordinaire et sa gorge très agile, de sorte qu'il a accompli les plus grands intervalles rapidement et avec la plus grande facilité et la plus grande certitude. Passages et toutes sortes de mélismes n'avaient pas de difficulté pour lui. Il était très fertile dans l'invention de l'ornementation libre dans l'adagio. »
 Malgré cette classification de "soprano", il était aussi adroit à chanter en d’étonnants tessitures de contralto extrême. Dans l’aria de tempête, « Navigante che non spera » du Medo de Leonardo Vinci, la colorature se déroule entièrement dans l’octave fa2-fa3, qui est, d’ordinaire, l’octave la plus grave du contralto, et la voix du grand chanteur descend jusqu’à l’ut2, qui est une note ténébreuse pour les voix de femmes et de castrats.
