Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Maurice Ravel's "Ravel: 2 Concertos pour piano et orchestre & 2 Pièces pour piano seul," a mono version released in 1956 by BNF Collection. This exquisite compilation showcases Ravel's mastery of classical and neoclassical styles, featuring six tracks that span a total of 51 minutes.
The album opens with the Concerto pour piano in G Major, M. 83, a three-movement work composed between 1929 and 1931. This concerto is a testament to Ravel's innovative spirit, blending traditional forms with modern harmonies. The second half of the album presents two solo piano pieces: the delicate "Menuet antique, M. 7" and the hauntingly beautiful "Pavane pour une infante défunte in G Major, M. 19."
Performances are brought to life by the talented Vlado Perlemuter on piano, with Jascha Horenstein conducting the Orchestre Colonne. This album is a must for any classical music enthusiast, offering a glimpse into Ravel's genius and the rich musical landscape of the early 20th century.
