And now, Ravel’s orchestra! The program opens with the Pavane, already presented in piano version, and goes on with the Tombeau de Couperin in its orchestral transcription, two movements shorter than the original. It ends with the Concerto in G, a masterpiece in its ethereal lightness, with bits and pieces of jazz grabbed here and there. In the middle, we hear Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, a perennial favorite, thanks to the famous middle Adagio, but worth listening to in its two extreme movements as well—a Spanish pendant to three of Ravel’s compositions, this time not at all Spanish.
