Artur Pizarro - The Complete Piano Works of Maurice Ravel, Volume Two

Keenly awaited second volume of Ravel’s piano works recorded by the Portugese pianist does not disappoint. There is a graceful clarity to Pizarro’s playing that suits Ravel to perfection. The Sonatine may not be as familiar as the ever-popular and beautifully expressed Pavane pour une infante defunte, but it sparkles with a sound as delicate as the most intricate crystal chandelier in an elegant French salon.
