Piano Concertos / Miroirs

"There are surely few conductors alive who can bring Ravel's miraculous, deft orchestral colours to life with such lucidity and suppleness as Boulez...Aimard, too, is a pianist completely immersed in the French repertoire of the 20th century and attuned to Ravel's particular sound world."
(Gramophone Awards Shortlisted 2011)

"The combination of Aimard and Boulez is a perfect meeting of minds...They achieve such precision, one marvels that both concertos are live performances from Cleveland's Severance Hall - the great orchestra plays with a range of colour and dynamics to match Aimard's astonishing palette of sound."
(Sunday Times)

"in the G major Concerto Aimard and Boulez favour dry rather than sparkling wit...The invaluable coupling is an enthralling account of Miroirs. Aimard crackles with energy in 'Alborada del gracioso', and his poetry in 'La vallée des cloches' is utterly sublime"
