Philippe Bianconi:
Philippe Bianconi first recorded Ravel’s piano music some thirty years ago. "It still moves me as much as ever, and at the same time I realise how far my view of this music has progressed. This new recording has made the connection I have always had with Ravel’s works stronger and more personal. I’ve rediscovered my delight in the Ravelian sound-world, but I’ve also come to grips with the darker side of his music."
