Ravel Piano Concerto in G The 1920s, the so-called "Roaring Twenties," unfurled as an explosion of ideas that reshaped the social fabric, political landscape, artistic expression, and scientific frontiers. Conductor Franz Welser-Möst discusses Ravel’s piano concerto - composed amidst this backdrop of cultural revolution - as a seminal work that captures the essence of an era. Artfully blending classical traditions with elements of jazz, the piece is as vibrant, diverse, and mind-expanding as the decade itself, as its performance by Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra and soloist Víkingur Ólafsson reveals.
