RAVEL: TZIGANE; PIANO CONCERTOS 1 & 2 - RICCI, BLANCARD, ANSERMET, L'ORCHESTRE DE LA SUISSE ROMANDE

This release brings together Ansermet’s complete Ravel concerto/concertante recordings with the first international release on CD of Swiss pianist Jacqueline Blancard’s aristocratic readings of the two Piano Concertos and Ruggiero Ricci’s dare-devilry in the Tzigane.

‘the slow movement of the G major Concerto is gorgeously poised and the finale has an enjoyable elegance … Ricci’s brilliantly played and recorded stereo version of Tzigane remains thoroughly enjoyable’
