bolero － 波雷羅舞曲
（源自西班牙文，起源於約1780年，當車爾列素創出這種舞曲的時候）
一種舞步複雜的快速歌舞，跳舞時會運用響板和強勁的腳踏動作，在舞蹈中會有急速轉身，和突然停止，並以一隻手彎曲地放於頭上，另一隻手置於胸前。蕭邦興拉威爾曾分別為鋼琴及樂隊寫作這種舞曲。此外，波雷羅亦是一種緩慢而帶有傷感情?#123;的十九世紀古巴音樂。

"These people really know how to record an orchestra."
- Richard Freed, WETA

Even before Ravel's BOLERO was featured in the hit movie "Ten", it was the most recognizable and the most popular piece of orchestral music ever written. Its hypnotic melodies, rhythms and brilliant orchestral colors have made it a favorite of conductors and audiences worldwide.
"Prof." Keith Johnson has finally made the HDCD? recording of BOLERO that RR fans have been waiting for, as the finale of a generous program of orchestral showpieces. Included are beloved classics by Liszt, Brahms, Dvor脃k, Berlioz and Rimsky-Korsakov, along with rarely-heard, exciting pieces by Kabalevsky, Deems Taylor, Chabrier, J?rnefelt and - yes - the great conductor Otto Klemperer.

This makes an unusual and highly satisfying program of shorter, audience-friendly classics.
