1 RAVEL Daphnis et Chloé BERNARD HAITINK conductor LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA John Alldis Choir A BBC recording
2 RAVEL DAPHNIS ET CHLOÉ Daphnis et Chloé, Ravel s masterpiece, was composed to Serge Diaghilev s commission for the Ballets Russes. Begun in 1909, it took the composer more than two years to complete, the closing scene alone occupying a full twelve months. There were disagreements over the scenario, and the stage production itself was not achieved without quarrels, but the ballet finally opened at the Châtelet Theatre, Paris, on 8 June 1912 with Nijinsky and Karsavina dancing the title roles and Pierre Monteux conducting. Fokin was the choreographer and Bakst the designer. The ballet was not a real success, partly because its creators had divergent conceptions of ancient Greece. A later ballet, choreographed by Sir Frederick Ashton in 1951, firmly established itself in the repertoire of the Royal Ballet, but the fact remains that Ravel s score is largely selfsufficient. The composer, who described his work as a Symphonie choréographique, soon realised that the music could stand alone in the concert hall, and for that purpose he extracted two sets of symphonic fragments. However, in this recording we hear the complete score. Fokin s scenario draws its simple love story from a pastoral by the Greek sophist, Longus, who lived in the second or third century ad. For the music Ravel aimed to compose a broad musical fresco, concerned less with archaic fidelity than with loyalty to the Greece of my dreams, which is associated with the Greece imagined and depicted by the French artists of the latter part of the 18th century. The score is constructed, as he pointed out, like a symphony with a strict system of tonality and a small number of themes, whose recurrence ensures homogeneity. It employs a large orchestra with 15 woodwind (including alto flute and E-flat clarinet), four trumpets, two harps and, among the plentiful percussion, a wind machine. There is also a wordless chorus, which makes a telling contribution to the atmosphere evoked by the music. In the theatre the curtain rises to disclose a meadow on the edge of a sacred wood on a spring afternoon. To one side is a grotto, at the entrance to which stand sculptures of three nymphs carved from the rock. Towards the back a large rock vaguely suggests the form of the god Pan. A chain of fifths rises mysteriously through the muted orchestral strings, a flute announces the theme associated with the nymphs of Pan, distant voices sigh and a solo horn introduces the theme of the goatherd,
3 Daphnis. The tempo quickens slightly as young men and girls enter bearing gifts for the nymphs, and to a new melody on divided strings they perform a religious dance. Daphnis enters (oboe and flute solos with pizzicato violins) and joins the shepherdess, Chloé, as the dance resumes and rises to a climax. Daphnis and Chloé pay homage before the statues, and the dancers stop as they see the loving pair (horn and violin solos). The girls draw Daphnis into a lively dance (trumpet theme). Chloé, feeling jealous, joins the men in a waltz-like dance the time signature is actually 7/4 and eventually allows Dorcon, a rough cowherd, to kiss her. Daphnis angrily pushes him aside and makes tender overtures to Chloé. A dance contest between the two men is proposed. Dorcon s grotesque performance (bassoons and bass drum) is laughed to scorn; his rival s graceful 6/8 dance wins the prize, a kiss from Chloé, and Dorcon is chased away amid laughter. Daphnis is briefly left to himself, but Lyceion, a married woman, enters (cadenza for clarinets) and attempts to seduce him with a dance. Annoyed by her failure, she mocks him and departs. Disturbing noises are heard in the offing, and marauding pirates rush upon the scene. Daphnis runs in search of Chloé, but she is abducted by the pirates. Daphnis curses the nymphs for failing to protect her, and falls fainting to the ground. Supernatural light (tremolos on divided strings) illuminates the scene and the three nymphs come to life, their theme heard in turn on flute, horn and clarinet as each figure steps from her pedestal. They move into a slow dance, then revive Daphnis and lead him to Pan s rock. Slowly the god himself becomes visible (rising tremolos), and Daphnis prostrates himself in supplication. A choral interlude accompanies a scene change to the pirate camp on a rocky coast. The pirates return from their raid and go into a ferocious dance. Then Chloé, her hands bound, is brought forward and commanded to dance. She pleads in vain for her liberty (cor anglais and other woodwind) and twice tries briefly to escape, but is finally carried off triumphantly by the pirates leader. At this moment a strange light invests the camp. Satyrs surround the pirates, the menacing shadow of Pan is seen on the rocks and the pirates flee. The third scene, which follows without pause, returns to the grotto of Scene One. Daphnis lies asleep as day breaks and here Ravel
4 provides a marvellously sensitive evocation of a woodland dawn. At first there is only the murmur of rivulets formed by dew from the rocks. As the light strengthens, birdsong is heard and two shepherds (piccolo and E-flat clarinet) pass by. Herdsmen find Daphnis and waken him. He looks in anguish for Chloé (theme on clarinets and divided violas) and suddenly she appears. They rush into each other s arms as the sunrise reaches its full splendour. An old shepherd explains (oboe solo) that Pan saved Chloé in remembrance of the nymph, Syrinx, whom the god loved. The young couple now mime the story of Pan and Syrinx, Daphnis at one point fashioning a flute from some stalks and Chloé dancing to the tune he plays. Eventually she falls into his arms and before the altar of the nymphs he pledges his fidelity. Their friends arrive and join the reunited lovers in a joyful, bacchanalian Danse générale. Eric Mason
5 BERNARD HAITINK conductor JOHN ALLDIS CHOIR With an international conducting career spanning five and a half decades, Amsterdamborn Bernard Haitink is one of today s most celebrated conductors. He was Principal Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra from and has also held the posts of Music Director at the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Dresden Staatskapelle, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and Glyndebourne Festival Opera; and Principal Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is Conductor Laureate of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Conductor Emeritus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and continues to perform regularly with the world s leading orchestras. As well as his recordings with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Haitink has recorded widely with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras and the Bavarian Radio and Boston symphony orchestras. He has also recorded extensively for the LSO Live label and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra s Resound label. He has received many awards in recognition of his services to music, including both an honorary Knighthood and the Companion of Honour in the United Kingdom, and the House Order of Orange-Nassau in the Netherlands. John Alldis ( ) was one of the foremost chorus masters of his generation. His own professional ensemble, the 16-member John Alldis Choir, was a pioneer in the highcalibre performance of adventurous choral repertoire, but also participated in major recordings of opera alongside such artists as Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and Kiri Te Kanawa. The Choir launched itself in 1962 with the world première of Alexander Goehr s A Little Cantata of Proverbs. Contemporary music featured highly in the Choir s repertory, with premières of works by Malcolm Williamson, Richard Rodney Bennett and Harrison Birtwistle, many of which were captured on the Argo label. In 1967, the Choir gave the first European performance of Stravinsky s Requiem Canticles, conducted by Pierre Boulez. Alldis additionally acted at different times as chorus master to the London Philharmonic Choir and London Symphony Chorus, preparing them for numerous recordings. With all his ensembles, he had the ability to draw the best from his singers. Inspired by his affability and charisma on the one hand, and his seriousness of purpose and dedication on the other, they would routinely deliver their maximum potential for him.
6 London Philharmonic orchestra The London Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the world s great orchestras with a reputation secured by its performances in the concert hall and opera house, its many award-winning recordings, its trail-blazing international tours and its pioneering education work. Distinguished conductors who have held positions with the Orchestra since its foundation in 1932 by Sir Thomas Beecham include Sir Adrian Boult, Sir John Pritchard, Bernard Haitink, Sir Georg Solti, Klaus Tennstedt, Franz Welser-Möst and Kurt Masur. Vladimir Jurowski was appointed the Orchestra s Principal Guest Conductor in March 2003 and became Principal Conductor in September The London Philharmonic Orchestra has been resident symphony orchestra at Southbank Centre s Royal Festival Hall since 1992 and there it presents its main series of concerts between September and May each year. In summer, the Orchestra moves to Sussex where it has been Resident at Glyndebourne Festival Opera for over 40 years. The Orchestra also performs at venues around the UK and has made numerous tours to America, Europe and Japan, and visited India, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Australia, South Africa, Oman and Abu Dhabi. The London Philharmonic Orchestra made its first recordings on 10 October 1932, just three days after its first public performance. It has recorded and broadcast regularly ever since, and in 2005 established its own record label. These recordings are taken mainly from live concerts given by conductors including LPO Principal Conductors from Beecham and Boult, through Haitink, Solti and Tennstedt, to Masur and Jurowski. lpo.org.uk Patrick Harrison

10 LPO 0059 HAITINK conducts RAVEL DAPHNIS et CHLOÉ Maurice Ravel, a notorious perfectionist, considered his 1912 ballet score Daphnis et Chloé his most important work, describing it as a choreographic symphony. Based on a pastoral drama by the Greek poet Longus, the story tells of the love between a goatherd and a shepherdess. In this live 1979 recording, Bernard Haitink conjures a sensuous and atmospheric performance from the London Philharmonic Orchestra and John Alldis Choir.
