Our Take

In their latest release, "Jewels From French Ballet," the Berliner Philharmoniker and Wiener Philharmoniker deliver a dazzling performance that sparkles brighter than a disco ball at Studio 54. This collection of French ballet music is like a box of gourmet chocolates - every piece is a decadent treat for the ears.

From the delicate elegance of Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun" to the bold bravado of Saint-Saëns' "Danse Macabre," this album takes listeners on a whirlwind tour of French musical mastery. The orchestras bring a sense of drama and flair to every note, weaving a tapestry of sound that is as intricate and captivating as a ballet performance.

The standout track on the album is undoubtedly Ravel's "Boléro," a hypnotic masterpiece that builds to a fiery crescendo. The Berliner Philharmoniker and Wiener Philharmoniker handle this iconic piece with precision and panache, breathing new life into a familiar classic.

Overall, "Jewels From French Ballet" is a gem of an album that showcases the immense talent of these two prestigious orchestras. So slip on your finest tutu, pour yourself a glass of champagne, and let the music transport you to the glittering world of French ballet. You won't be disappointed.
