Bolero was originally written as a ballet for a famous ballerina and achieved great success on the stage. Nowadays the ballet itself is only rarely performed and even though Ravel thought the orchestra would seldom play it, it has become one of the best-loved pieces for the concert stage. This arrangement by Philip Sparke keeps very close to the original score in this melodically and rhythmically unique work.

Ravel schreef Bolero oorspronkelijk als ballet voor een beroemde danseres. Als zodanig was het ook bijzonder succesvol. Tegenwoordig wordt het als ballet nog zelden opgevoerd. Hoewel Ravel dacht dat het als orkestwerk nietin de smaak zou vallen, is het toch een van de geliefdste titels voor op het concertpodium geworden. De bewerking van Philip Sparke blijft dicht bij de originele partituur van dit melodisch en ritmisch bijzondere werk.

Bolero wurde ursprünglich als Ballett für eine berühmte Tanzerin geschrieben und feierte sensationelle Erfolge auf der Tanzbühne. Heute wird das Ballett nur noch selten aufgeführt und obwohl Ravel dachte, dass Orchester das Werk nur selten spielen würden, ist es zu einem der beliebtesten Titel für die Konzertbühne geworden.Philip Sparkes Bearbeitung halt sich nah an der Original-Partitur dieses melodisch und rhythmisch einzigartigen Werkes.

Le dernier ballet de Ravel, Bolero, fut ecrit et cree en 1928. Aujourd'hui, le ballet est rarement represente, et, bien que Ravel ait craint que les orchestres refusent d'interpreter son oeuvre, celle-ci est devenue l'une des plus populaires dans les salles de concert. Le Bolero est peut-etre unique en son genre, dans le sens ou l'orchestration geniale de Ravel est encore plus importante que les elements melodiques, rythmiques et harmoniques de l'oeuvre ; c'est pourquoi Philip Sparke n'a pas vu l'utilite d'en produire une version simplifiee ou reduite mais a essaye de respecter au mieux la partition de Ravel. Laissez-vous seduire !

Il Bolero composto da Maurice Ravel nel 1929 e per eccellenza la musica per balletto divenuta celebre anche come pezzo concertistico. E' sicuramente il bolero piu noto mai composto, nonche l'opera piu popolare di Ravel, commissionatagli da Ida Rubinstein, una ballerina russa. Philip Sparke ha rispettato la geniale orchestrazione di Ravel creando uno straordinario arrangiamento per banda.

The traditional bolero is a moderately slow dance in triple meter which originated in late 18th century Spain. Since then it has spread to other countries and become transformed in the process. The Cuban bolero became a bit faster in tempo and duple in meter. In the U.S. it became a staple of competitive ballroom dancing, even faster and in 4/4 time. Maurice Ravel's Boléro for orchestra harkens back to the slower Spanish dance in three. Wood's Bolero by Mark Wood, on the other hand, focuses on the American version but maintains elements of the dance's origins and first iterations. For string orchestra with optional rock rhythm section parts. (4:30)

In his preface, Monnard examines Ravel's sound aesthetics against the background of concert reception and historical recordings. Moreover, he also provides insights into Ravel's ideas concerning the tempo: ,,I must say that the Bolero is rarely conducted the way I think it should. Mengelberg speeds up and slows down excessively. Toscanini takes it twice as fast as it should be and broadens the tempo at the close, which is indicated nowhere. No: the Bolero should be played in one single tempo from the beginning to the end, in the plaintive and monotonous style of Spanish-Arabian melodies. The performance material to Ravel's Bolero can now also be purchased in its entirety for the first time.
