Ravel: A Moune
) | Label: CHALLENGE CLASSICS Catalog: CC 72916 Format: SACD Lina Tur Bonet Marco Testori Pierre GoyThis is a ‘concept-album’ around Maurice Ravel and his special relation with Hélène Jourdan Mourhange, a dear friend and violinist. The program is set-up in order to take the listener by the hand into Ravel’s musical world through a series of pieces which are gradually more deep and complex. The music is played on a 1935 Hautrive piano, while violin and cello are played on gut strings. The Tzigane is in the rarest version for Luthéal (Pleyel, 1910), a period prepared piano with a gipsy character. About Lina Tur Bonet, Diapason writes: “Impressive: Lina Tur Bonet’s discography aligns beautiful achievements’. Indeed her previous releases have already collected all European awards.
