Pianist Vincent Larderet has emerged as a specialist in the music of Ravel (and also Scriabin, where he sounds very different), and here, he undertakes a complete cycle of the composer's solo piano music. There will be four albums in all, leaving room for some rarities. All the works here are well known, albeit some better in orchestral guise. Larderet's basic style is clean, coming out of a long tradition that stretches back to Ravel himself through Vlado Perlemuter, and for this recording, he used personal copies of the manuscripts collected by Perlemuter, containing Ravel's own interpretive markings. Thus this recording might be regarded as doubly authentic. As such, it is quite interesting. In Larderet's hands, Ravel is crisper than usual, even percussive at times, avoiding an overemphasis on hazy Impressionist elements. Sample the Alborada del Gracioso, from Miroirs, a rather rocking ride. When sheer Lisztian virtuosity is called for in Jeux d'eau, Larderet provides it excellently, but he is more about the careful sculpting of Ravel's lines. The Sonatine is not the light work the title might suggest, and Larderet gives it its full weight. There may be more spectacular Ravel, but add in fine sound from Avie producer Martin Rust, recorded at the Alter Sendesaal Bremen, and one has a distinctive Ravel release that stimulates an appetite for the rest of Larderet's set.
