Latest releases - Singing Ravel

A recording of a concert given in March 2025 at the Cité de la Musique in Paris’s 19th arrondissement, marking the composer’s 150th anniversary. Singing Ravel, by the choir Les Métaboles, founded in 2010 by Léo Warynski, feels perfectly timed now that we’ve switched to daylight saving time. From Thibault Perrine’s introductory transcription of the Pavane pour une infante défunte to the hilarious closing Boléro, and through the spellbinding Soupirs, La Vallée des cloches, and L’Indifférent—transcribed by Clytus Gottwald and Gérard Pesson—this album is not only marvelous and enchanting; it also casts a fresh inner light on the splendor and harmonic daring of the French genius.
