Maurice Ravel: Piano Trio, Mallarmé Poems And Other Chamber Works
Product Code: 0486438074

Ravel was not only a master craftsman of exquisitely constructed chamber works, but he was also a key innovator, inspired by the tonal/atonal experiments of Schoenberg, Stravinsky and the Second Viennese School. This is most closely reflected in the remarkable Mallarmé Poems, Ravel's closest approach to the modernist innovations. Elsewhere his Piano Trio presents a perfect example of the delicacy and intricacy of Ravel's chamber music. Joined by several other full chamber pieces, this is music that presents Ravel at his most musically ambitious, brought together for the first time in one large-format, atractively-priced volume.
