“Recording Ravel is not just a return to my roots, but also a natural stage in my development … my style of playing and the way I imagine sound can be largely attributed to Ravel.” Bertrand Chamayou follows his Erato debut – a Schubert programme described by The Sunday Times as an “affecting, beautifully performed disc” – with a double album devoted to the complete solo piano music of the French composer.

***** "His second album for Erato shows Bertrand Chamayou to be an uncommonly adept interpreter of Ravel." (The Independent)

"These recordings of Ravel's most important piano works are [Chamayou's] first at the height of his powers," writes Hugh Canning. "He begins with a limpid Jeux d'eau, played with liquid ease...and he is deliciously playful with Ravel's joky pastiches. The Sunday Times Album of the Week: "For Ravel's greatest piano composition, Gaspard de la Nuit, [Chamayou] summons an almost orchestral palette of colours...'Le Gibet' and 'Scarbo' have rarely been imbued with so much mystery."
