Ravel: Complete Orchestral Works

Ravel: Complete Orchestral Works

Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Lionel Bringuier

2016

Many musicologists and theorists claim that Ravel was the most brilliant orchestrator of the 20th century; this exquisite collection by Deutsche Grammophon provides many compelling reasons to support them. Pianist Yuja Wang and conductor Lionel Bringuier point up the interplay of elegant piano and tender, sentimental orchestra on the second movement of the Piano Concerto in G Major, submitting one of the most relaxed and beautiful recordings of the piece, while the conductor’s interpretation of Ravel’s famous Pavane pour une infant défunte has the right blend of melancholy and stateliness.
