On Friday 31 January the Barcelona Symphony release the second of their ongoing Ravel cycle with Music Director Ludovic Morlot, and mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron, comprising the composer’s Shéhérazade, Trois Poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé, Fanfare and Valses nobles et sentimentales. 

Gramophone Magazine notes: 

“Morlot is a specialist in the French repertoire who brings particular cultural qualities and fastidious care to his interpretations of Ravel’s music…characterized by precision and clarity, careful calibration of orchestral colour, transparency and balance in both sound and expression. Particularly important qualities, you might say, for a composer attracted to clean melodic contours, distinct rhythms and firm structures but who almost always delivered magic on top, courtesy of his unparalleled symphonic ear.”
