| | Tomita : Daphnis et Chloé (Bolero) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | Rather than picking any old Ravel piece to work on, Tomita's choices of material are mostly quite shrewd, geared toward his strengths. |
 | | The second suite from Daphnis et Chloé seems absolutely made-to-order for the Tomita treatment, for it unfolds in long, sustained crescendos and diminuendos where there is no need to erase any bar lines. |
 | | All Tomita has to do is fill in the electronic colors -- which he does with his customary bag of gorgeous, flowing, pitch-bending tricks, producing one of his most faithful transcriptions without giving up his personal stamp. |
