Two works of blazing, passionate genius that seem to hail from opposite ends of the orchestral universe: Richard Strauss’s Don Juan is a multisectioned rollercoaster ride, lunging from key to key, instrument to instrument, loud to quiet and quick-fire to lethargic. Ravel’s Bolero is an exercise in patiently prepared climax; it uses only one melody, only one speed, draped over one incessant rhythm and one prolonged crescendo. Ravel joked that his great masterpiece ‘contained no music at all’, whilstsome claimed Strauss’s score contained too much. But both are compelling, beguiling, and utterly gripping musical experiences. London Philharmonic Orchestra website.
