RAVEL Suite No. 2, Daphnis et Chloé
Inspired by an ancient tale and commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes, Daphnis et Chloé is a Greek love story between a boy and a girl that has become one of the pillars of 20th Century orchestral writing. Suite No. 2 features what is widely regarded as one of the most satisfying endings in all music.
