Boléro is the piece that just keeps building and building on one melody for 17 straight minutes. It's hypnotic. You'll think 'surely this is the climax' about five times before the actual ending, which is absolutely massive. Debussy's pieces are like sonic paintings — just let the colors wash over you.
Debussy: Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune Debussy: La Mer Ravel: Boléro
An evening of shimmering French orchestral color. Debussy's Faune is languid and sensuous; La Mer captures the ocean in three movements. Ravel's Boléro is the ultimate buildup — one melody, repeated and growing for 17 minutes until a shattering climax.
