Les Siècles present two of 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 [Piano Concertos]

'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

"La valse is very nearly worth the price of the disc by itself...the poème chorégraphique steals the show in a dazzling performance of outstanding virtuosity...As Pictures go, this is a very enjoyable tour around the gallery … but it's that La valse which keeps haunting me (in the best possible way)" Gramophone
