Ravel - Miroirs Valse Nobles Et Sentimentales la Valse [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/26/2010

The two composers, who represent their country as figureheads of color and sound, have almost identical dates in their lives The Pole Karol Szymanowski and the Frenchman Maurice Ravel. The Swiss pianist Matthias Roth has put together an exquisite program for his GENUIN debut , which he has recorded with a crystal-clear sound and lively articulation that is unrivaled in terms of quality. You don't know what to admire more The great works of Ravel that one knows well but experiences anew, or the unexplored beauty of Szymanowski's works, which are worth the exciting voyage of discovery in every moment! Matthias Roth was born in Toggenburg, Switzerland and studied at the Zurich University of the Arts with Hadassa Schwimmer and Karl-Andreas Kolly. He earned both his teaching and concert diplomas with honors and is the winner of the Landolt Prize. In recent years the piano music of the turn of the twentieth century has become a keystone to his concert career. Roth teaches piano at the Zurcher Oberland Kantonschule.

Take a large spoonful of Bolero, add a small amount of Pavane, simmer in the heat of Feria, then mix with a little Blues and you have the perfect Ravel. It's the recipe for success in the 'Best of' market, particularly when you have Naxos's stunning performances.
