I quite like the artwork and maybe the associated works included, as well.
Does anyone have this?

I might just pick that up. Vive la Tour!

I hadn't realised that "La Vallée des Cloches" from "Miroirs" had been orchestrated. Is the orchestration by the composer?

I forgot to mention I have this disc. It's enjoyable and well recorded, but OTOH it's not my "go-to" disc for Daphnis Suite 2 or Afternoon of a Faun. The orchestration of Ravel's "La Vallée des Cloches" is by Percy Grainger and it is imaginative - a nice feature of the disc.

Absolutely Yes, and an excellent SACD for any collection. A veritable 'Tour de Force' from the late Yakov and his gifted Amsterdam players who can match the RCO in all but the very finest aspects of interpretation.
I was fortunate enough to see his very last concert with the NPO at the Concertgebouw a few years ago, a wonderful talent cut short by the scourge of mankind. Fondly remembered.
