Both Gershwin and Ravel expanded in these Concertos the horizons of their styles, colours and musical shapes. Both often manage to make their music sound like a complete improvisation, even though at the same time, nothing is accidental. Gershwin was actually departing from the jazz base with its freedom while Ravel had very strong \"classical\" roots. I find it no coincidence that Gershwin wanted Ravel to become his mentor, whereas Ravel in his turn rejected this request in order not to disturb Gershwin´s unique talent of combining jazz and classical styles. I personally see these two titans of music as two gravitational forces that at the same time attract and repel each other.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDenis Kozhukhin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739181920580,"sku":"PTC5186620-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739181953348,"sku":"PTC5186620-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739181986116,"sku":"PTC5186620-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739182018884,"sku":"PTC5186620-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739182051652,"sku":"PTC5186620-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310240112964,"sku":"PTC5186620-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57336253415748,"sku":"PTC5186620S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/PTC5186620.jpg?v=1790502633","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/ptc5186620-ravel-gershwin-piano-concertos","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
