Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars bland, timid, lacking all whimsy.......2005-09-18

This version of Ravel's opera about a spoiled child rebuked by his toys, furniture, and the animals living in and around the house needs a lot of style to come across as more than a precious frivolity. but colette meant her story seriously, and there is lots of poignancy to go along with Ravel's orchestral magic. There is one great performance on CD--the one on DG led by Maazel with all-French forces. This Previn is bland and dull, a walk-through with little or no magic.

5 out of 5 stars A "little" masterpiece.......2001-07-11

Of the few available recordings, this remains my favorite. Performed with conviction and considerable finesse, you'll be a fan on first listen and discovering something new with every subsequent play.

A wonderful work, deserving a far more attention than it has been given, "L'enfant" is one of only two completed operas by Ravel. A "children's" opera it may indeed be, but the score contains everything that makes Ravel one of the greatest composers.
