NEW RECORDING: MAURICE RAVEL (1875-1937): SONATINE POUR LE PIANO, OP.

I present this latest recording of Ravel's masterpiece in miniature, and the pianistic precursor to the groundbreakingly poetic Miroirs: The Sonatine of 1905, in three movements.
This piece was recorded and produced by myself from my humble home studio. It has been a pleasure to make.

Meredith Gailey at allmusic writes:

Representative of his first formative period, the work is bright and clear, and only gently touches the listener's emotions. Using fluidity, light coloring, and the intervals of the fourth and fifth as unifying features, the work is written using primarily the three middle octaves of the piano. Ravel was known for his tightly written pieces and Sonatine was no exception; it easily reminds one of the refined objets d'art of the eighteenth century.

You will be able to download freely, or purchase, the audio recording from my bandcamp.

For more like this, and to help out in the production of these videos which I undertake in my spare time, please consider becoming a patron.

Thanks and all the best,

Adam
