This is THE PERFORMANCE!!!... This was issued on a 25cm LP which featured one other work by Ravel (La Valse). There was another 25cm LP containing a few more works by the composer. The set of these 2 records was awarded the "Grand Prix du Disque" by the French Académie Charles Cros. As far as Ravel's orchestral works were concerned, Pedro de Freitas Branco was unbeatable!... -:)) And he was unbeatable in several other composers, ranging from Debussy and Albert Roussel to Richard Strauss, Alban Berg, etc. Pedro FB was Ravel's favourite conductor...
