Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of classical piano with Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's exquisite album, featuring works by Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy. Released on October 1, 2012, under the Praga Digitals label, this captivating collection showcases Michelangeli's masterful interpretation of some of the most beloved pieces in the classical repertoire.
The album opens with Ravel's virtuosic "Gaspard de la nuit," a trio of piano pieces inspired by the poetry of Aloysius Bertrand. Each movement—Ondine, Le Gibet, and Scarbo—demonstrates Michelangeli's technical brilliance and deep musical insight. Following this, the Piano Concerto in G Major, M. 83, highlights Michelangeli's ability to convey both the playful and the profound, with its lively "Allegramente" and serene "Adagio assai."
Ravel's "Valses nobles et sentimentales" adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, while Debussy's "Children's Corner" offers a delightful and whimsical contrast. Each piece in this suite, from the playful "Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum" to the charming "Golliwogg's Cake-walk," is rendered with Michelangeli's signature precision and expressiveness.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 13 minutes, this album is a testament to Michelangeli's enduring legacy as one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. Whether you're a seasoned classical enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
