From the Royal Albert Hall. London
Ravel's ballet Daphnis and Chloe was written for Diaghilev's Russian Ballet. The second suite, or ' symphonic fragments ' as the composer calls them, is taken from the third and last scene. At dawn Chloe, who has been rescued from her abductors by Pan, finds Daphnis lying prostrate before the grove consecrated to the nymphs. They embrace, and Lammon. an old shepherd, explains that Pan has saved Chloe in memory of his love for the nymph Syrinx. In their gratitude to Pan the lovers enact in pantomime the story of Pan's wooing of Syrinx. The finale is a general dance' of rejoicing.
