This varied and vivid selection of works shows Ravel as the master of the 'choreographic symphony', words he himself used to describe his masterpiece Daphnis et Chloé, which contains some of his boldest and most resplendent music. His imagination retained a direct link to the poetry of children, as shown in Ma mère l'oye, whilst in Valses nobles et sentimentales he set out to write a sequence of waltzes following the example of Schubert.
