Skrowaczewski / Minnesota Orchestra - Ravel: Bolero


These recordings were originally part of a four LP set of Ravels' works. This conversion replicates the single LP edition as depicted in the cover art.

The SACD release included two bonus tracks - the second suite of Daphne et Chloe, which was also included in a separate release of that work, and a short extract of that suite with an added centre channel - that have not been included in the conversion.

The SACD release featured the original quadraphonic mix with an added centre channel - that was silent except for the second bonus track - that I deleted from my conversion. The quadraphonic mix here is "live in the audience" style with the rear channels recorded using "ambience" microphones at the rear of the concert hall.
