Bolero

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Known for his fiery, deeply idiomatic interpretations of French repertoire, the conductor elicits a spectacularly disciplined, dynamically thrilling performance of the infamous orchestral ostinato. The ensemble meticulously builds the repetitive structure from a barely audible snare drum to a physically overwhelming, explosive climax. The release is widely considered one of the most authoritative and sonically impressive accounts of the iconic piece.
