On 8 April, Deutsche Grammophon is releasing a 4-CD box set of Ravel’s complete orchestral works and solo concertos.
“Ravel was a magnificent orchestrator,” enthuses French conductor Lionel Bringuier. “He is also a part of my life.” Two good reasons for celebrating his relationship with Zurich’s famous Tonhalle-Orchester with a live cycle of Ravel’s complete orchestral works. Including such popular pieces as Boléro and the Tzigane with Ray Chen, as well as Bringuier’s already acclaimed recordings of the two Piano Concertos with Yuja Wang, this collection offers a fresh approach to this colourful repertoire from three stellar talents.
On 8 April, Deutsche Grammophon is releasing a 4-CD box set of Ravel’s complete orchestral works and solo concertos, performed by the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich under the baton of Lionel Bringuier. The new set represents something of a rarity in its completeness and in having largely been recorded live. The soloists are pianist Yuja Wang and violinist Ray Chen, while this expansion of its CD repertoire with Ravel’s music marks the orchestra’s first recording project under Lionel Bringuier.
The choice of composer was a carefully-considered artistic decision, according to the conductor: “For my first recordings with the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich I’ve opted for Ravel. We all know his Daphnis et Chloé, Boléro and La Valse. A complete cycle allows us to get to know some lesser-known works as well.” This is Deutsche Grammophon’s first collaboration with the renowned Zurich ensemble.
