Info for Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé

The classical concert film Charles Münch: Brahms Symphony No. 1/Ravel Daphnis et Chloé, Suite for Orchestra No. 2 finds maestro Charles Münch conducting a symphonic performance of two major works: 'Symphony No. 1' by Brahms and 'Daphne et Chloë - Suite for Orchestra No. 2' by Ravel.

Upon hearing Charles Munch's inspired recording of Daphnis et Chloe, the American Record Guide wrote, 'The performance is a triumph... this is the stuff of which history is made.' The master of French orchestra repertoire, Munch offers a gripping and emotional reading of Ravel's masterwork on this prized Living Stereo recording.
