Ravel / Larderet - V1: Complete Works for Solo [CD]

French pianist Vincent Larderet inaugurates a definitive, four-volume series of the composer's complete works for solo piano, signifying Vincent's fulfilment of a decades-long devotion his compatriot. This first-ever Urtext compilation of Ravel's complete works for solo piano is a landmark collection that embraces numerous world-premiere renditions. Many works, whilst familiar, are prepared and recorded from personal scores that were annotated by pianist and pedagogue Vlado Perlemuter during his private study and close collaboration with the composer between 1927 and 1929. These scores reveal invaluable insights to interpretation of such aspects as tempi, pedalling, phrasing and tonal colours. Through his tutelage under Perlemuter's student Carlos Cebro, Vincent Larderet is a direct inheritor of Ravel's ethos and interpretive style.Volume 1 of Vincent's Ravel survey includes original solo piano versions of the popular Valses nobles et sentimentales and Pavane pour une infante de'funte, alongside the five-movement suite Miroirs and Sonatine. - Recorded: 25-27 April 2023, Alter Sendesaal, Bremen Recording Producer: Martin Rust Grand Piano: Steinway & Sons D 597020 Piano Technician: Moritz Helmich ADM accreditation: Martin Rust Musikproduktion
