Our release of Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé & Stravinsky: Le sacre du printemps featuring Rafael Payare and Orchestre symphonique de Montréal is Gramophone Magazine’s November cover story.
Music and Artistic Director Rafael Payare spoke with Gramophone’s James Jolly about the new album, as well as the conductor’s dynamic relationship with the OSM. The album was also positively reviewed later in the issue, with Andrew Farach-Colton noting that the OSM is “thriving” under Payare’s leadership.
“Beneath their differences, these two works share the same evocative power, where orchestral color becomes a dramatic language in its own right. This recording reflects that shared artistic journey, shaped by the OSM’s singular sonority and the incomparable acoustics of the Maison symphonique.” Rafael Payare
