Les Siècles continue their successful series of Ravel recordings on period instruments under François-Xavier Roth, with Cédric Tiberghien at the piano and baritone Stéphane Degout.
"By any standards, this is the A Team, and they do not disappoint. Here is Ravel in all his passion and technical wizardry...[Tiberghien] finds any number of colours amid his faultless technical grasp. As always, the sonority of Les Siècles is supremely clear...A wonderful disc I shall play again and again." - BBC Music Magazine
"[The G major Concerto] is pleasingly wide-ranging, allowing Tiberghien to shine in passages that are one minute subtle and elegant, the next blowsy and ribald. The Concerto for the Left Hand in D major is altogether more complex and profound, Tiberghien navigating the work's daunting bottom-to-top scope with impressive ease." The Sunday Times
'Every now and again accounts of Ravel's concertos come along that set new standards...here's another game-changer.' Gramophone Award Finalist 2023 - Concerto
