Ravel: Complete Works for Solo Piano

Description

The genius of Ravel, the precision and clarity of Jean Efflam Bavouzet!Born in 1875, Ravel was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s as the greatest living French composer. The piano was Ravel's first instrument, and although he was not himself a virtuoso, he had an extraordinary understanding of the instrument and the sounds and effects he wished to achieve. A great admirer, Jean Efflam Bavouzet tells us: "No doubt because of his modesty, Ravel rarely addresses us in the first person. He confides intimately only on rare occasions. During these exceptions, Ravel addresses us in the first person." This is the very essence of the solo piano music that Jean Efflam Bavouzet offers us here, in its entirety, with unparalleled talent!
