Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé; La Valse
There may be sexier complete D&Cs on disc, but few are as well recorded, clearly balanced, expertly paced, and shaded with the suppleness that Boulez and the Berlin Philharmonic bring to this rendition of Ravel's sumptuous ballet. If that's not enough, Boulez's dazzling La Valse caps things off with a bang. --Jed Distler
