Pavane pour une infante défunte

Maurice Ravel

Recordings

Top Choice

Pierre Monteux / London Symphony Orchestra

1959

Top recommendation (coupled with his Daphnis). The nostalgic sentimentality comes out in a very subtle way. Really beautiful, lovely interpretation, very well recorded.

Also Worth Hearing

Jean Martinon / Orchestre de Paris

1974

From an all-Ravel set. The Pavane is shaped very well.
