What Classical Music Are You listening to Now? III

[BBMmk2]

Debussy: Études

1: Mitsuko Uchida (streamed)
2: Livia Rev (CD)
3: Werner Haas (CD)

Livia Rev can certainly hold her own against Uchida, imho.
Intrigued to see from Alpie's list compiled for the forthcoming BaL that there's recording of a live performance by Soulima Stravinsky; it's lined up for later.

I have Uchida’s. Amazing album.

Ravel, Piano trio.

I'm just transcribing an old notebook of a holiday in Spain, France and Switzerland in 2006. While staying a few days in Strasbourg, I got a ticket for a Sunday concert: Anne Gastinel and Friends (the other two being M-A Hamelin and Marianne Thorson). This was the first time I had heard the work.

YouTube: Trio Gaspard 9 years ago …

I'm just reading (in Roger Nichols' book on Ravel) about the composition of this, which was completed round about the time that WWI was declared (August 1914).
It is dedicated to André Gedalge, Ravel's counterpoint teacher.

Prompted by your mention of "transcribing", Ravel: Piano Trio, transcribed for orchestra, Yan Pascal Tortelier (Ulster Orchestra).
