Ravel: Orchestral Works

John Wilson

Classical - Released January 28, 2022 | Chandos

Hi-Res Booklet
A conductor, arranger and musicologist, John Wilson is also a leading specialist in musical theatre, which he successfully directs in the UK. In 2018, he re-formed the Sinfonia of London, a studio orchestra that was in its prime back in the 1950s and recorded music for famous films such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo with a score by Bernard Herrmann. Today, as ever, the Sinfonia of London is comprised of the best instrumentalists in the British capital.Exceptionally meticulous, John Wilson always stays close to the source of the works he directs, as can be seen in the ballet Ma Mère l’Oye and the greatly received Boléro by Maurice Ravel (which sounds superb with the incessantly slow tempo that gives it an almost menacing grandeur). His take on these two works form part of a contemporary edition, and the final result is subtle and full of finesse.Wilson’s meticulousness is particularly suited to Ravel’s music, conducted here with plenty of flourish and grace whilst still maintaining that je-ne-sais-quoi that the French composer is known for. The incredibly talented musicians that form the Sinfonia of London allow the conductor to explore even the most minute of nuances. The sensuality of the music can sometimes be a little strange, perhaps even convoluted at times, but it all feels so typical of Ravel. A special mention also goes to the sound technicians at the Chandos label who do an incredible job of reproducing every tiny detail. This collection demonstrates just how nuanced music can be. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Ravel: L'Œuvre pour piano

Philippe Bianconi

Solo Piano - Released September 15, 2023 | La Dolce Volta

Hi-Res Booklet
Ravel's piano works include some of the most popular keyboard pieces of the 20th century, so pianist Philippe Bianconi has plenty of competition for this double-album complete cycle. Of course, one advantage of the complete set is that it can include the less common pieces like Ravel's musical impressions of Borodin and Chabrier and the Menuet en Ut dièse mineur ("Minuet in C sharp minor"). These lesser-known works, mostly miniatures, fit Bianconi's style beautifully; he is a precise, concise player who brings out Ravel's considerable rhythmic subtlety. His Ravel performances tap into a long French tradition stretching back to Robert Casadesus and his wife, Gaby, who was one of Bianconi's teachers. Imbued with the French conservatory values of clarity and restraint, Bianconi sacrifices mood for clean execution. In Le Tombeau de Couperin, he is wonderful, one of the very best available, catching the ways Ravel stretches the Baroque rhythms in a really uncanny way. Many pianists can handle the technical challenges of Gaspard de la nuit these days, but few can seem as effortless while doing so. In music that depends more on extramusical references, such as the four-hand Ma mère l'Oye (recorded with Clément Lefebvre), some listeners may want a bit more color, while others will find Bianconi's approach bracing and fresh, with an evocative Miroirs. Sample several different works. Most listeners will agree that the La Dolce Volta label's sound, from the Grande Salle at the Metz Arsenal, is ideal for the music and the music-making here. © James Manheim /TiVo

Discovering Mendelssohn

Christian Li

Classical - Released June 16, 2023 | Decca Music Group Ltd.

Hi-Res
Teenage violinist Christian Li has thus far recorded mostly well-trodden repertory, and the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64, certainly falls into that category. It is the centerpiece of Discovering Mendelssohn, but the program is filled out with a variety of materials that trace the cosmopolitan Mendelssohn's travels and also revive the 19th century type of concert, with orchestral and violin-and-piano pieces cheek by jowl, as well as a few audience-friendly arrangements of songs with and without words that include Yinuo Mu's harp and Xuefei Yang's guitar (in the charming concluding Venetian Gondola Song). This shows growth on Li's part, as does his confident rapport with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra under Sir Andrew Davis, but really, the key to the album's success is that Li's performance of the Violin Concerto stands out from the crowd. He gets but does not overdo the sentiment in the big tunes, and he has an attractive precision in the high notes. Li places proper emphasis on the unusually placed cadenza in the concerto's first movement, loosening up and giving it improvisatory flair. He includes pieces by Mozart, Bach, and Schubert, all of which have more or less definite connections to Mendelssohn; this, too, supports the effort to create the atmosphere of a concert of Mendelssohn's time. An exciting young player takes a definite step forward with this enjoyable release. This album landed on classical best-seller charts in the summer of 2023.© James Manheim /TiVo

Debussy: Arabesques, Estampes, Images, Children´s Corner - Ravel: Valses nobles et sentimentales

Ilja Hurník

Classical - Released November 23, 2012 | Supraphon a.s.

After recently terminating his career as a pianist, Ilja Hurník has gained more scope for devoting to composing and writing. Hurník studied the piano with pedagogues of such renown as V. Kurz, I. Štěpánová-Kurzová and V. Novák and has given numerous concerts abroad (including a four-hand performance with Pavel Štěpán), with his interpretations of Debussy and Janáček being particularly captivating. He has given back to Janáček the earthiness and crispness resulting from the Lachian dialect and purged Debussy of the "Impressionistic mist" and accumulated layers of brush strokes, turning the audience's attention to the compositions' subtle drawing and structure. When listening to the presented recordings, one will be hard pressed indeed to believe that they were made a full half-century ago. Hurník's ninetieth birthday is an appropriate opportunity to recall them: this reissue in a carefully remastered version will certainly be welcomed not only by his contemporaries. © Supraphon
