Interesting piano music collections plus all kinds of orchestral music selections pop up in this clump of Ravel from the Overflow Room.

The Abbey Simon solo piano disc is WONDERFUL. Thank you for introducing me to it. But I must say, that at 1min. 29 sec. I think that "À la manière de Borodine" is a good candidate for a Miniature Masterpiece.

I have and very much enjoy Bavouzet doing the piano music. Sure, it’s an early 19th century Erard piano or whatever but I’m perfectly happy with his playing, especially as you alluded to in a recent video, there’s just so much! Beautifully played and recorded, no wonder he has done so well in so much other stuff.

What do you think of the orchestrations of parts of Le Tombeau de Couperin that Ravel left out? I have the Kocsis CD where he orchestrated the Fugue and Toccata, but would be interested to hear other recommendations. Thank you.
