Sony Radio Award winner for Best Classical Music Programme. Love it or loathe it, Ravel's Boléro is one of the most performed pieces in the concert repertoire. For 338 out of the 340 bars the drum beats out the hypnotic rhythm which has pulled in the crowds since its first performance in 1928. For conductor Bramwell Tovey it's full of great moments; Jack Brymer thinks it's like being hit behind the ear with a sock full of wet sand. This is Boléro from the players' point of view. Producer RICHARD BANNERMAN Stereo (First broadcast in 'Kaleidoscope to mark the 50th anniversary of Ravel death)
