Maurice Ravel

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

1875-1937 with Jill Gomez (soprano) Osian Ellis (harp)
Vlado Perlemuter (piano) Gabrieli String Quartet Allan Schiller (piano)
Richard Adeney , Edward Beckett (flutes); Gervase de Peyer Keith Puddy (clarinets) Manuel Rosenthal pupil and friend of Ravel
Ravel never married. The aloof young dandy became an isolated bachelor. He was a man of paradoxes, who hated any public display of personal feelings. Yet his music shows at times a passion that no doubt he would have denied he felt.
Ravel's words spoken by GEOFFREY MATTHEWS
Narrator JOHN ABINERI
Film editor JONATHAN CRANE
Written and produced by DAVID BUCKTON
