Description:
Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Ravel's birth, the second DG album by the rising pianist acclaimed by the maestro Siena Tapes, the second Deutsche Grammophon album by rising German pianist Julius Azar, is now available. Conceived to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel's birth, the album features Ravel's works, "Water Play," "Prelude in A minor," "Minuet on Haydn's Name," and "In the Style of Borodine," interwoven with Azar's own composition "Prelude (3191)" and the improvised works "Cascade I-III. and the improvised pieces "Cascade I-III". Also included is "Petites Vagues," a new work by the album's producer, Christian Bazula. Saying that Ravel's music has been "a presence that has stayed with me, challenged me, and questioned me" since he was a child, Azar says, "In a miraculous way, Ravel has had access to all the colors of sound. Even his relatively delicate piano works contain shadings and energies that could only be found in a complex symphony," he writes.The recording was made at the "Chapel of the sun" in Siena, Tuscany, Italy, where Azar was so enchanted by the atmosphere and acoustics of the old building that he recalls it as "a place where I wanted to keep playing even after the audience left. The booklet includes liner notes by Azal himself. Julius Azar was acclaimed by the maestro Menahem Pressler and signed with Deutsche Grammophon in 2024, and his debut album, "Scriabin & Scarlatti: Piano Works," is "imaginatively composed, deeply explored and respectful of sensitivity and musical excellence, a totally unfailing It is an imaginatively constructed, deeply probing and respectful tribute to sensitivity and musical excellence" (MusicWeb International, a classical CD review site). Azar is the recipient of numerous competition awards, including the Terence Judd-Hale Prize in 2025. I was immediately struck by Julius Azar's piano playing. I don't know how he found that unique resonant sound. It was as if the instrument was teaching him its secrets. Universal Music/IMS
