| Nelson Goerner has always dreamed of recording Ravel: Piano Concertos, two masterpieces of the concerto repertoire. With Kazuki Yamada and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, he has found the ideal partners to approach Ravel’s two piano concertos with the sensitivity and poetry for which he is universally renowned.
The two works, composed at the same time and both performed for the first time in 1932, are nevertheless very different: premiered in Vienna, the Concerto for the Left Hand was commissioned by the pianist Paul Wittgenstein who had lost his right arm in 1914; premiered in Paris, the Concerto in G is renowned for its verve and its famous pianistic interpolations.
Ravel had composed the Pavane pour une infante défunte, a famous miniature of exquisite nostalgia, some 33 years earlier. The programme is completed by the Valses nobles et sentimentales; Marguerite Long, who gave the first performance of the Concerto in G, saw these eight linked pieces as a “stylistic panorama of the waltz”.
