MAURICE RAVEL

Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho announces the deluxe version of his two recently released albums Ravel: The Complete Solo Piano Works and Ravel: The Piano Concertos, created to celebrate Ravel’s 150th birthday anniversary. In addition to their digital release, this edition further presents the two works as a 3-CD box set. 

Cho has loved Ravel since childhood and found himself immersed in his music while he was a student at the Paris Conservatoire. “Ravel was an innovative genius,” says the pianist. “His works contain endless ideas and colours, as well as deeply felt emotions.”  

Listen to a pre-release track, Ravel’s dreamlike and energetic, yet soft, Jeux d’eau, M. 30. A video recording of the performance also comes out today. The full deluxe edition with both of his Ravel albums will be released digitally and as a 3-CD box set on 2 May and is now available for pre-order. Vinyl versions of the two individual albums will be released later this year.
