Ravel:

Piano Concerto in D major (for the left hand)


Pascal Roge (piano)

RSO Wien, Betrand de Billy

“Rogé’s playing of Ravel’s Left-Hand concerto is masterly. He has complete technical regard for the work; more importantly, he appreciates the range of the music, its darkness, menace, anger, other-worldly escape, introspection and defiance.” International Piano, May/June 2008

“Ravel once played Rhapsody in Blue to Gershwin at a private party. It's tempting to think it must have sounded something like Rogé's performance here: sophisticated, elegant, oh-so-well-well-behaved… the Left Hand Concerto starts well with wonderfully saturnine grumblings and a superbly sculpted long orchestral crescendo. Rogé's long soliloquy after the Allegro's huge climax is particularly fine.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008 ****

“Barber's Adagio is presented on an epic scale, and this Appalachian Spring is compelling. Bernstein is less convincing as a pianist, however - his Rhapsody in Blue is rough around the edges.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 ****
