M. Ravel - Songs By Ravel [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.The award-winning partnership of Gerald Finley and Julius Drake continue their musical explorations with this beautiful and thought-provoking disc. Gerald Finleyu2019s lustrous tones, extraordinary gift for characterisation, and direct, unaffected utterance make him an ideal and revelatory performer of Ravelu2019s songs.rThese works, somewhat under-appreciated in the composeru2019s oeuvre, demonstrate the endless variety and vast emotional scope of Ravelu2019s musical sphere. Charming folk-song settings contrast with the almost surrealist world of Histoires naturelles, which caused outrage at its first performance. Yet this cycle contains some of Ravelu2019s most dreamily beautiful music: the still, crystalline u2018music of silenceu2019 created in Le martin-pxeacheur. In the words of Roger Nichols, who provides the fascinating booklet notes, u2018From the sepulchral gloom of Un grand sommeil noir to the final exclamation u2018Je bois / a la joieu2019 u2026, Ravelu2019s songs embrace a whole worldu2019.
