Review by JJ January 19, 2012 (3 of 6 found this review helpful)	Performance: Sonics:
Here is an exemplary SACD by any standards, devoted to chamber music for violin by Maurice Ravel. Exemplary in its program, with “Tzigane,” the “Sonata for Violin and Piano” dating from 1923-1927, the “Berceuse on the Name of Gabriel Fauré” from 1922, the “Sonata for Violin and Cello” from 1920-22, the “Piece in the Form of Habanera,” dating from 1907, and the “Sonata in One Movement,” Op. Posthumous from 1897. Also exemplary is the unceasingly inspired playing of these admirable pages, which spotlights “a rhythmic refinement that is as free as it is polished,” as Pierre-Emile Barbier remarks, and which the artists present play to the hilt. Finally, exemplary for the quality of a DSD sound recording of the highest order that doesn’t mar the instruments of their original tones. This is without a doubt great Ravel disc towards which you will often return to savor music which is pure and essential. Jean-Jacques Millo Translation Lawrence Schulman
