Ravel Transcriptions

Description

After his complete Ravel (2024, Choc Classica and Gramophone Editor's Choice), François-Xavier Poizat continues his collaboration with the composer through an album entirely dedicated to transcriptions. From Daphnis et Chloé to Shéhérazade, from the Rapsodie espagnole to the jazz echoes of L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, this program for a small ensemble featuring two pianos, percussion, flute, and voice reveals the lines, colors, and precision of Ravel's writing in a different light. Familiar with this universe, François-Xavier Poizat reaffirms his talent as a colorist, his virtuosity, and the freedom of his playing.
