Javier Perianes collaborates once again with conductor Josep Pons on a new album dedicated to Maurice Ravel entitled ‘Jeux de Miroirs’. The recording, released by harmonia mundi internationally on 29 November, features Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin and Alborada del Gracioso for solo piano, their respective orchestrations and Piano Concerto in G major with Orchestre de Paris.
“As if in a mirror, this recording juxtaposes the original piano versions of two of Ravel’s masterpieces (Le Tombeau de Couperin and Alborada del Gracioso) with their respective orchestrations. The Concerto in G major combines the two facets, both when the piano is integrated into the overall sound and when it plays its role as a soloist. The subtle playing of Javier Perianes and the refined sonorities of the Orchestre de Paris, conducted by Josep Pons, also remind us that Spain was the most significant source of inspiration in Ravel’s output.”
The album presentation will take place on 16 December at the Institut Français in Madrid, and the very next day at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona.
