In this seventh volume as well, I am constantly amazed by his extraordinary talent. The first piece is a concerto he wrote at the age of 16. The piano lines, with their slightly mischievous quality, are neither Prokofiev nor Bartók—they are violent yet captivating. While this music may not appeal to those seeking beautiful melodies, the fact that a work possessing such terrifying dynamism sprang from the hands of a 16-year-old boy is truly astonishing. The cantata was commissioned by the Ballets Russes and is based on a text by Cocteau. “Icarus” is a reworking of “The Flight of Icarus,” which was included in Volume 3 (8.572153). Originally composed in 1932 for a Ballet Russe project and premiered the following year in 1933, Ravel discarded the piece—perhaps because he was dissatisfied with the result—only to revise it approximately ten years later.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Piano Concerto: Allegro vivace\u003cbr\u003e2.Piano Concerto: Andante\u003cbr\u003e3.Piano Concerto: Allegro risoluto\u003cbr\u003e4.Cantate: Allegro risoluto\u003cbr\u003e5.Cantate: Lento sostenuto\u003cbr\u003e6.Cantate: Allegro risoluto\u003cbr\u003e7.Cantate: Choral: Lent et soutenu\u003cbr\u003e8.Icare: Prelude: Molto tranquillo\u003cbr\u003e9.Icare: Eveil de la Connaissance (Awakening of Knowledge)\u003cbr\u003e10.Icare: Icare et les Oiseaux (Icarus and the Birds)\u003cbr\u003e11.Icare: Les ailes d'Icare (Icarus' wings)\u003cbr\u003e12.Icare: Envol d'Icare (Flight of Icarus)\u003cbr\u003e13.Icare: Ou l'on retrouve les ailes d'Icare (Where Icarus' wings are found)\u003cbr\u003e14.Icare: Mort d'Icare (Death of Icarus)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53530744062241,"sku":"4945604721578","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604721578.jpg?v=1789818967","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604721578","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
