Composer/Series: Un tombeau pour Ravel - Works for Harpsichord
Description
On the occasion of Maurice Ravel's 150th anniversary in 2025, Un Tombeau pour Ravel presents a musical journey interweaving the styles of Ravel and the French Baroque, especially the works of Francois Couperin.
The program of this CD revolves around Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin, composed during World War I as both a tribute to Baroque composers and a memorial for his comrades lost in the war. This recording includes original works and carefully crafted arrangements for harpsichord, tracing influences from 18th-century French music, illustrating Ravel's inspirations at the time of the piano cycle's creation, and exploring the tombeau as an homage genre.
