...suggests the early morning serenade of a jester. The performance took full advantage of Ravel’s Impressionistic score, leaping into noisy climaxes and slipping suddenly into murky, bass-dominated string arrangements. Spirited castanets set off the piece’s Iberian influences, and a patient bassoon solo broke through the enthusiastic cacophony of metrical shifts and rhythmic switches.

The rivalry was ramped up after 1947, when the departing British divided Bengal along religious lines, its east becoming East Pakistan. Millions of Hindu refugees fled west to Kolkata. With livelihoods and loved ones lost, many...
