Ravel: Menuet sur le nom d' Haydn A la maniere de…Chabrlier A la maniere de…Borodin Le tombeau de Couperin
Chabrlier: Idylle from "Pieces Pittoreques"
Gounod: Faites-lui mes eveaux from "Faust"
Borodin: Serenade from "Petite Suite"
What do an Opera Aria by Gounod and a short Serenade by Borodin have in common? They both served as models for two short piano pieces by Maurice Ravel: Portraits of other composers. Anne Riegler offers in her debut CD a perspective on Ravel's music that is unique in its approach. All piano works in which Ravel names and refers to other composers are paired with original compositions of those portrayed composers, resulting in an exceptional journey through all periods of music history from Couperin to Ravel.
