RAVEL: Bolero


Produced in partnership with Radio Netherlands Worldwide


Rena K. of Egg Harbor Twp, NJ won this week's contest by correctly ID'ing Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune".


Description:
Love it or hate it, Ravel's Bolero has always been a magnet for an opinion. At its premier a woman yelled out that the composer must be insane! To which he replied "Aha! She understood the piece." Listen for yourself.
