Pianist Brings Ravel's Works Into a Lively Dialogue with His Own Improvisations on Vinyl LP!
Inspired by the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel's birth, Julian Asal curates a personal program that combines the French composer's music with his own improvisatory pieces. Siena Tapes presents Ravel's Jeux d'eau, Prélude in A minor, Menuet sur le nom de Haydn and À la manière de Borodine, interwoven with Asal's Prélude (3191) and Cascades I-III.
The album was recorded in Tuscany on the estate of US producer Rick Rubin. "There are places where you'd love to stay and keep playing, even when the audience has long since gone home," says the pianist. "Somehow, I had the impression that the sounds could resonate forever within these walls."
