Maurice Ravel's unparalleled flair for orchestration is on full display in his masterful arrangement of his own piano showpiece, Alborada del Gracioso. An audience favorite and a staple of the concert hall, this vibrant, Spanish-influenced work was one of many in which the composer celebrated his Basque heritage. It appears here with the Pr#65533;lude and Danse du Rouet, which were written especially for the ballet version of Ma M#65533;re la Oye ― Ravel's fairy-tale suite, inspired by tales from Mother Goose.
