Some of his most famous compositions are ''Bolero'', the ballet ''Daphnes et Chloe'', and the orchestral version of [[Modest Mussorgsky]]'s ''[[Pictures at an Exhibition]]''. Ravel is often ranked with [[Richard Strauss]], [[Richard Wagner]], and Rimsky-Korsakov as among the greatest orchestrators.
