Maurice Ravel Book order (chronological)
March 7, 1875 – December 28, 1937
Maurice Ravel was a French composer celebrated for his exquisite melodies, masterful orchestration, and richly evocative harmonies. Alongside Debussy, he stood as a prominent figure of Impressionist music, leaving an indelible mark on piano, chamber, vocal, and orchestral works. His piano compositions demand considerable virtuosity, and his command of orchestration shines through in numerous celebrated pieces. Ravel is globally renowned for his orchestral work Boléro, which he himself described as "a piece for orchestra without music."

Ravel was known as a musical master craftsman, and some of his most exquisitely crafted music can be found in his chamber works, including the celebrated Piano Trio of 1914. It appears here with the remarkable Mallarmé Poems (1913), which show Ravel at his most harmonically adventurous and are scored for an ensemble inspired by the modernist works of Stravinsky and Schoenberg. Also included are the brilliant Sonata for Violin and Cello (1922), which the composer considered a pivotal work in his stylistic development, and the sensual Introduction and Allegro (1905) for harp and ensemble. These works include some of Ravel's finest and most musically ambitious achievements and are now available for the first time in a single large-format volume.
