Gardens of Discovery 5 - Ravel: Mother Goose

Five pieces (six actually) inspired and influenced by nature and the East. 

When the organisers of the Paris Universal Exposition in 1889 invited gamelan players from Indonesia they introduced French composers to a whole world of new and exciting possibilities and a new direction in music. 

Amazing grown-up music for children. Ravel’s Mother Goose brings us gongs and pagodas and the view of the Fairy Garden blows your heart wide open.
