about

"In 1928 Maurice Ravel described the violin and the piano as “essentially incompatible”. Yet by then he had already composed for those instruments two sonatas (one of which was published posthumously), Tzigane, and the Berceuse sur le nom de [Gabriel] Fauré – a miraculous output for a supposedly mismatched duo! Written for the most part in the early twentieth century, these works reflect Ravel’s interests and influences, including Spain, jazz, blues and foxtrot, Hebrew songs.... All of these pieces show Ravel’s modesty and poetry, and his marvellous ability to bring enchantment to our world.
Here Elsa Grether and David Lively present Ravel’s complete works for violin and piano, including two world premiere recordings: Gustave Samazeuilh’s arrangement of the Adagio assai from the Piano Concerto, and a transcription by André Asselin of the mischievous Five o’Clock Foxtrot from L’Enfant et les Sortilèges."

"En 1928, Maurice Ravel décrète que violon et piano sont des instruments “essentiellement incompatibles”. Pourtant, à cette date, il a déjà composé pour cet effectif deux sonates (dont l’une ne sera publiée qu’à titre posthume), la Tzigane ainsi que la Berceuse sur le nom de Gabriel Fauré - production miraculeuse pour un duo supposément mal assorti... Écrites pour la grande majorité après le tournant du siècle, ces œuvres attestent des influences et intérêts de Ravel, mêlant l’Espagne, jazz, blues et foxtrot, folklore juif.... S’y ajoutent les nombreuses transcriptions réalisées pour cet effectif, dont Kaddisch ou encore la Pièce en forme de Habanera. Toutes révèlent la merveilleuse capacité de Ravel à “enchanter notre monde”, avec pudeur et poésie.
Elsa Grether et David Lively enregistrent ici l’intégralité de ces oeuvres pour violon et piano, avec deux premières mondiales : un arrangement de Gustave Samazeuilh de l’Adagio assai du Concerto pour piano, et une transcription d’André Asselin du malicieux Five o’Clock Foxtrot tiré de L’Enfant et les Sortilèges."
