Work: A la manière de Chabrier

A coherent, finely balanced traversal in Alice Tully Hall is shaped by clarity, restraint and expressive poise. 

At the Festival Ravel, Bertrand Chamayou, Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Hyunji Kim perform all the solo piano works at the Église Saint-Vincent, a stone’s throw from the house where Ravel was born.

Seong-Jin Cho proves rigid in Ravel, but the LAPO and guest conductor Paavo Järvi play Brahms–Schoenberg and Bacewicz to the hilt.
