Gripping Readings Of Compelling Music

Nicholas Edwards | Belchertown, MA United States | 03/04/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Casadeus is the ideal interpreter of Ravel: the tone is warm, luminous, the sense of internal space within the phrase enormous, particularly in the selections from "Gaspard" and in the "Sonatine". His account of the Left-Hand Concerto is majestic, almost terrifying in its intensity. Much of this release is mastered from less than ideal source material, but that is of little consequence: the playing shines through."
