About

The Barcelona Symphony Orchestra (OBC) and Music Director Ludovic Morlot – renowned specialist in French repertoire with four GRAMMY awards – are set to release the complete orchestral works of Maurice Ravel on six albums. The first volume, recorded at the Pau Casals Hall of L’Auditori in collaboration with Mike George and Stephen Rinker – producer and sound engineer of the BBC and Chandos labels – includes three iconic works by the composer from Ciboure (French Basque Country).

Ludovic Morlot’s precision and mastery of orchestral colour give these recordings great transparency, featuring meticulously balanced sound and expressiveness that showcase the OBC’s poetic capabilities. Additionally, the collection features the editorial revision of the complete orchestral works of the French composer: the Ravel Edition. This ambitious project unites artists such as Bertrand Chamayou, Renaud Capuçon, François-Xavier Roth, Ludovic Morlot, George Benjamin, Kirill Karabits, or Cristian Măcelaru, among others.
