I wish I could have been present unseen in that enchanted garden while you wandered hand in hand, like
Daphnis and Chloe, amid the flowers.

IT was a privilege to be at St David's Hall in Cardiff on Thursday night, when the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales acquitted themselves with considerable distinction in a programme which included Ravel's mighty
Daphnis and Chloe, a daunting challenge for both orchestra and chorus alike.
