        Matthias Pintscher Plays the last 2 movts. from Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin"

        • Artist:
          Matthias Pintscher/Turin RAI Symphony
        • Album:
          Ravel : Le Tombeau de Couperin
        • Track:
          Last 2 movts.

        The last two movements contain music which goes ever so much into the heart. Indeed, it is very heartbreaking music we find in the graceful Menuet which contains one of the few times Ravel publicly let emotional guard down and expressed true pain and anguish at his loss of a friend. The Riguadon is all mischievous humor with almost dual role. The middle section is a very coy one that quickly an...

        Matthias Pintscher Conducts Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Cuperin" First 2 movts.
        about 6 hours ago
        • Artist:

        Fritz Reiner Conducts Maurice Ravel's "Pavane for a Dead Princess"
        about 6 hours ago
        • Artist:
          Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony
        • Album:
          Ravel
        • Track:
          Pavane for a Dead Princess

        This is surely one of the greatest pieces of music. Out of thinking about the words, the music just sings out with a majesty that is noble and haunting at the same time.I chose this particular rendition of this great work because of Fritz Reiner's very emotionally quiet performance with beautifully played French horns that don't blare out at one in other performances. The pictures accompanying ...
