ラヴェル : 前奏曲イ短調 M. 65 (1913)

This track is taken from the Album "Siena Tapes". German pianist Julius Asal releases his second DG album Siena Tapes. The project features a selection of pieces by Ravel, a new composition by the producer of the album, Christian Badzura, as well as three new improvisational pieces Cascades I-III, written by Asal himself. Originally conceived as a 150th-anniversary tribute to Ravel, the album grew into a very personal project during the writing and recording process. “In a miraculous way,” he notes, “Ravel had access to all sound colours. Even his more subtle works for piano contain shades and forces that you would usually find only in a complex symphony.”
