I probably haven't listened to Daphnis more than Bolero, and that's a very small number of listens.
It's a bit like Debussy's Jeux. There are undeniably good things in it but I just have no desire to listen to the music. I find it sprawling and rather shapeless and I find the content fairly uninteresting.
This coming from a bit of a Ravel addict. Love the Piano Concerto in G, adore L'Enfant et les Sortileges, often listen to Tombeau de Couperin, Ma Mere L'Oie, Rhapsodie Espagnole, Pavane, Valses Nobles, piano trio and a lot of the piano music.
But again I don't like the Left Hand PC and I can't take La Valse more than the odd listen. At times Ravel can be repetitive and over-emphatic for all his brilliance as an orchestrator.
Follow Ups:
Sorry the Left Hand PC doesn't grab you. I like it beginning to end. If you do Lp's, the Dela Rocha/Burgos on Decca/London is a fantastic performance and remarkable recording.
You don't like stories about nymphs?
.
And Chloe too, for that matter.
I listened to the Cleveland/Szell LP in College, that orch was at its peak,
Marc Livshay and Robert Marcellus were Gods then.
Checkout Mozart #39 with them...
