Mirrors: Reflections on Maurice Ravel
Written and presented by Paul Crossley
'He's the child in all of us - the one who can carry the game of let's pretend to its ultimate extreme.'
In the first of a new series of programmes re-examining the work of great orchestral masters, pianist
Paul Crossley digs beneath the brilliant surface of Ravel's music to reveal one of this century's most troubled and haunting musical personalities. Illustrating his ideas with excerpts from
Ravel's solo piano works, the orchestral song cycle
Sheherazade, 'La valse', 'Bolero' and a complete performance of the Left Hand Concerto, Crossley discloses the lonely paradox of a sophisticated artist with a child's heart.
