Gerald Finley\\u2019s lustrous tones, extraordinary gift for characterisation, and direct, unaffected utterance make him an ideal and revelatory performer of Ravel\\u2019s songs.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThese works, somewhat under-appreciated in the composer\\u2019s oeuvre, demonstrate the endless variety and vast emotional scope of Ravel\\u2019s 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 Ravel\\u2019s most dreamily beautiful music: the still, crystalline \\u2018music of silence\\u2019 created in Le martin-p\\xeacheur. 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 joie\\u2019 \\u2026, Ravel\\u2019s songs embrace a whole world\\u2019.\u003cp\u003eNo 1: Le Paon 'Il Va S\\xc3\\xbbrement Se Marier Aujourd'hui'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 2: Le Grillon 'C'est L'heure Ou, Las D'errer, L'insecte Negre Revient'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 3: Le Cygne 'Il Glisse Sur Le Bassin, Comme Un Traineau Blanc'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 4: Le Martin-pecheur '\\xc3\\u2021a N'a Pas Mordu, Ce Soir, Mais Je Rapporte Une Rare Emotion'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 5: La Pintade 'C'est La Bossue De Ma Cour'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRonsard a Son Ame 'Amelette Ronsardelette'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 1: Chanson Romanesque 'Si Vous Me Disiez Que La Terre'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 2: Chanson Epique 'Bon Saint Michel Qui Me Donnez Loisir'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 3: Chanson a Boire 'Foin Du Batard, Illustre Dame'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUn Grand Sommeil Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes Grands Vents Venus D'outremer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSur L'herbe 'L'abbe Divague.-Et Toi, Marquis'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 2: Chanson Fran\\xc3\\xa7aise 'Janeta Ount Anirem Gardar'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 3: Chanson Italienne 'M'affaccio La Finestra E Vedo L'onde'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 4: Chanson Hebra\\xc3\\xafque 'Mejerke, Main Suhn'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 5: Chanson Ecossaise 'Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie Doon'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoel Des Jouets 'Le Troupeau Verni Des Moutons'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 1: D'Anne Qui M'a Jecta De La Neige 'Anne Par Jeu Me Jecta De La Neige'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 2: D'Anne Jouant De L'espinette 'Lors Que Je Voy En Ordre La Brunette'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 1: Le Reveil De La Mariee 'Reveille-toi, Reveille-toi, Perdrix Mignonne'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 2: La-bas, Vers L'eglise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 3: Quel Galant M'est Comparable?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 4: Chanson Des Cueilleuses De Lentisques 'O Joie De Mon Ame'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 5: Tout Gai!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 1: Kaddisch 'Yithgaddal Weyithkaddash Schemeh Rabba'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo 2: L'enigme Eternelle 'Fragt Die Velt Die Alte Casche'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55149719814529,"sku":"758602","price":18.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61MHIZt-5sL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767847418","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/758602","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
