MAURICE RAVEL ~ Bolero
(Radio Symphony Orchestra Ljubljana - Direttore Samo Hubad)

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.

Raimund Lissy, violinist with the Vienna Philharmonic, has been supporting the rediscovered work of Viennese composer and violinist Joseph Mayseder (1798-1863) for years. He is already presenting his fourth CD with works by the Biedermeier composer, who himself had worked with Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert. Mayseder gained great fame in his lifetime, and bought a city house in Vienna for himself and his son-in-law, a jeweler whose descendants still are active there today. His works, mostly written for chamber music with violin participation, combine virtuosity with Viennese charm. In this volume, the Viennese Mayseder ensemble (with Lissy as 1st violinist) plays the string quartet No. 2 and the string quintet No. 2.

Als österreichischer Ableger des tschechisch/englischen Schallplattenproduzenten gleichen Namens wurde Gramola im Jahr 1924 in Wien gegründet und ist seit damals in allen Tätigkeitsbereichen rund um die Klassische Musik aktiv. Der Schwerpunkt hat sich in den letzten Jahren auf die CD-Produktion verlagert und Gramola ist mit etwa 30 Produktionen jährlich schon seit einiger Zeit Österreichs Klassikproduzent mit der höchsten Produktionsrate. Gramola hatte zunächst natürlich die großen Komponisten der Wiener Klassik, wie Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven und Schubert, im Focus. Im Vordergrund der Produktionsaktivitäten steht jetzt aber auch die Förderung junger österreichischer Musiker und nicht zuletzt die Zusammenarbeit mit "Exilarte", die sich der Musik ermordeter und exilierter Komponisten widmet.
