This sounds like an exciting show. Ravel's Tzigane is a wonderful, sly romp. Tzigane = gypsy. Ravel — Saint-Saëns, too — composed with such audacity for the violin. I recently heard the RPO perform Bolero. I'm waiting to hear a live rendition of Daphnis et Chloé. But I would encourage folks to check out this performance if for no other reason than to experience Ravel up close and personal.
