Show detail Hide detail

In this Banff Television Festival award-winning arts documentary, the life and work of French composer Maurice Ravel is examined. Archival footage of Paris, where he lived; photographs of Ravel and his relatives; interviews of contemporaries; performances of his compositions; and a first-person narrative in Ravel's 'voice' are used to create an impression of a man who expressed himself entirely through music. Interviews with colleagues and acquaintances include: Alicia de Larrocha; Gaby Casadesus; Jean-Paul Vibert; André and Lucienne Asselin and Harry and Frances Adaskin. Performances and excerpts of Ravel's compositions include: a recording of "Boléro" conducted by Ravel in 1930; "Pavane"; "daphnis and Chloé"; "Asie" (from Shéhérazade); "Assez Vif"; and "Adagio Assai". Performers include: the Montreal Symphony Orchestra conducted by Charles Dutoit; pianists Gaby Casadesus, Alicia de Larrocha and Jean-Philippe Collard; soprano Claudine Carlson; and dancers Rosemary Arroyave and Éric Tessier. <103mn>
