This arrived by post earlier, courtesy of FNAC. While I haven't had a chance to listen to any of it yet, it is a very handsomely produced set. Excellent essay by Deborah Mawer ('The complete music for piano of Maurice Ravel: a classic-romantic synthesis'), texts and translations of the songs and what look to be a promising group of musicians, soloists and singers. Somehow the downloads (or streaming) wouldn't be quite as pleasurable, although it means even less space on already over-laden shelves.
