Elsewhere his Piano Trio presents a perfect example of the delicacy and intricacy of Ravel's chamber music.

Description Composed for the famous ballet impresario Serge Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes, Maurice RavelÂ’s Daphnis and Chloe was drawn from an ancient Greek fable. At the time, Ravel announced his intention to 'compose a vast musical fresco, less scrupulous as to archaism than faithful to the Greece of my dreams.' The resulting 'choreographic symphony' features a captivating combination of orchestral traditions and modern ideals.

Description Ravel originally conceived of his choreographic poem La Valse as a tribute to Johann Strauss. But this is a waltz far removed from the urbane gaiety of old Vienna. A masterpiece of lush and brilliant orchestration, it is a work of considerable emotional depth in which the initial series of elegant waltzes are transformed into what Ravel describes as a fantastic and fatal whirling leading to a powerful, turbulent climax.
