Also, I'm trying to understand your comment about the piano version(s) of Ma Mère L'Oye. The original form of the work was the suite for piano, 4-hands, which Ravel later orchestrated. (Sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know.) Still later, Ravel expanded the suite into a ballet, with added prelude and interludes. Ravel himself wrote this lengthier ballet for orchestra only - no piano version, although a piano transcription of the complete ballet was made subsequently by Jacques Charlot. So I think what you're saying is that Skrowaczewski recorded the ballet, and Salonen performed the suite (as he did when he conducted here in SF recently). In either case (suite or ballet), it's a magical work!
