L'Enfant et les sortilèges pt. 1

[oboist3]

A fabulous recording - The ballet really adds character to the music ( and this is from someone who really does not like ballet that much) Likewise, as oboeshawn says above - that is an incredibly hard oboe duet at the beginning. If one doesnt double breathe, I dont know how it could be achieved. The Glybourne 1987 performance does it by discrete breaths, but that, whilst sill an amazing performance, changes the whole opening effect.

On a chanté un extrait au spectacle du conservatoire pendant ma dernière année de solfège. Comme je regrette qu'on n'ait pas plus souvent travaillé sur de tels chefs-d'oeuvre !

I think this is one of the best performans ever aswel the music and the choreografi.

Ravel would be very pleased, I'm sure.

This is a joy! My first was Hockney at the Met in 1980 as a kid. One of the most memorable musical events of my life!

I'm in search of a video of Balanchine's 1981 made-for-TV PBS "Dance in America" version from the New York City Ballet. I had/have a video of it somewhere but can't find it! It was co-produced by Balanchine with one of Jim Henson's co-Muppeteers, and it's magnificent. Someone out there must have an old VHS of it.......

[GwendolynNicole18]

OMG! Thanks for posting this im doing this at the Academy of Music in Philly! im sooo excited!

[Solitait]

[papipalma]

superbe!!!

[NOSEhow2LIV]

What happens when a masterpiece is enhanced further by fantastically imaginative decor & choreography....? Pure magic! What a gorgeously unstoppably watchable & listenable feast.

[Snomennescio]

My favourite production of this ballet, hands down. I grew up on this piece.

[aldebussy]

Gorgeous stage design. Gorgeous opera. Gorgeous choreography.

what else do you want..

[GirlyVoice]

I don't understand what they're singing but this was somewhat entertaining. Is it supposed to be funny though?

[HuggumsMcgehee]

It's about a rude child who gets scolded by his mother then goes about throwing a tantrum and destroying stuff in the room. Then the stuff comes to life...........and eats his soul (j/k).

[oboeshawn]

That opening duet for two oboes is one of the hardest things Ravel ever wrote for the instrument. Note how it goes on for over 2 minutes without breath.  So much control needed to play those high f-sharps softly!

[MarcoAJuarez]

@oboeshawn If you're a real musician, you can do it with breaths...

[Wderganc]

How's your mug?

[Nordenwald]

Rotten!

[Wderganc]

[johnmannno]

One of my all time favorite and one of my most beloved operas!!!! Thank you for posting this!

[chanteur73]

L'enfant is absolutely one of the best operas of the 20th century!

[mountainharry]

I think this is the best perfomance ever

from Ravels l'enfant.... by the Nederlands danstheater in a choreographie by Jiri Kilian,

and orchestra national de Paris with Lorin Maazel.I was there at the very firs performance in Holland with Jiri Kylian.

We just watched this in my French Impressionism music class. I always laugh when the teapot goes "I box you" and the teacup starts singing in fake Chinese. Thanks so much for posting!!

[blaugrun67]

zauberhafte Musik, verblüffend gut in Szene gesetzt.. magnifique Maurice Ravel..

[CountryBlondeGuy]

I love this opera so much! I was the numbers when I was in seventh grade I performed it at the kennedy center!
