JORDI SAVALL: MAURICE RAVEL, Inspirations and Metamorphoses

Concert recorded at the Santes Creus Royal Monastery , August 17 2024

For the first time ever, Le Concert des Nations and Jordi Savall approach the music of Maurice Ravel... as if it were ancient music from the depths of time. This unique concert-portrait brings Ravel into dialogue with a Cypriot dance, a Basque lullaby and pieces by Marin Marais, revealing all the facets of this elusive composer.
