musicmakers: pianist Bertrand Chamayou on Ravel—an exclusive video podcast with James Jolly

Don't miss the next episode on medici.tv at https://bit.ly/3XvQhVG medici.tv's video podcast musicmakers returns for a very special episode: in honor of the 150th birthday anniversary of Maurice Ravel, world-renowned French pianist Bertrand Chamayou sits down at the piano bench with our host, Gramophone's James Jolly, for a deep dive into the music of one of his most celebrated countrymen. Chamayou, indisputably one of today's top interpreters of Ravel, talks about discovering the composer as a child through the striking beauty of his scores, both on paper and at the piano; Ravel's Basque heritage and its influence on his music; the ways in which Ravel and Debussy, often discussed together as ostensibly “Impressionistic” composers, were actually “complete opposites”; Ravel’s piano skills — or lack thereof — and exceptional talents as an orchestrator; and the immeasurable influence of Ravel on Chamayou’s own life, career, and artistry, accompanied by illustrative excerpts performed with the pianistic poetry he brings to all his interpretations.
