I heard this song used in the Warren Miller film "...Like There's No Tomorrow". I missed the credit plate where the song is cited, but luckily between Wikipedia and Youtube I found it. It's a shame that Amazon MP3 doesn't have it available for purchase.
I agree, Ravel would be proud to have this as an adaptation of his masterpiece.

I am sitting here, scratching my head, wondering why someone actually pressed the dislike button? Poor hand eye coordination?

No words to express my feelings after I heard this song... Speachless...

@sibisaba Could you please translate it to something resembling English? I love it but I feel stupid loving something I don't understand at all;)

Although shortened for obvious commercial reasons, as all recent renditions are, (the original was15 minutes) I believe this nicely reflected Ravel's original concept.
The slow steady build, and adding instruments (voices in this case) would have pleased Maurice.
I think he would have loved his music being alive 80 years after he wrote it.

I feel my heart touch by a angel.
Nice to meet you, sweet Angelique.
