The bolero is so underwhelming but still so prised.
Ravel's Bolero? There is a lot more rhythmic and harmonic complexity and variation than is readily apparent to most listeners. I had to (somewhat) learn to play it myself before I could appreciate it.
For me it's basically the same thing over and over, just soloed by every instrument. Not judging, I just personally thinks it's quite meh.
Plus it produced a gimmicky album pressing where the groove spiraled the wrong way.
I have to strongly disagree on this one for some reason. I think it's a great hook, and then builds and surprises.
Completely agree. The only time I've ever heard it and enjoyed it was when strings and flutes were isolated
