Maurice Ravel is not a composer remembered only on anniversaries. On the contrary, his music withstands the test of time and continues to dominate concert halls, touching audiences with its emotional subtlety and harmonic perfection. At the same time, it presents a supreme technical and interpretative challenge for performers due to its diverse demands.
Three of Greece’s most dynamic and active soloists of piano, violin, and cello explore three exquisite masterpieces by the French musical impressionist. These works uniquely capture the anxious transition from the indulgent world of the late 19th century to the dawn of a new era. An era that, following the devastation of World War I, would seek refuge in modernism and the essential aesthetic simplicity of neoclassical ideals. All these elements, among others, render Ravel’s music irresistibly captivating, making the listening experience thrilling and unforgettable.
