Simon Rattle conducts a concert “à la française”

Although Maurice Ravel’s international fame is due principally to Boléro, the ballet Daphnis et Chloé is considered his real masterpiece. It seems full of sunlight and playful – and then again inscrutable and brutal. Sir Simon Rattle also presents two delightful rarities: Francis Poulenc’s cantata Figure humaine, filled with fragile beauty, and Charles Koechlin’s witty adaptation of the Jungle Book material.
