The digital release of Alexander Tamir and Bracha Eden’s classic recording of Maurice Ravel’s works for two pianos remastered.
The long-lasting partnership between Tamir, Eden and CRD began over four decades ago, inspired by a 1983 BBC broadcast Four Hands Play Brahms. This led to their acclaimed Ravel recording, which remains a cornerstone of the two-piano repertoire.
This release captures the full spectrum of Ravel’s creativity, from the stark beauty of his post-WWI compositions to the playful spirit of his children’s pieces. As CRD commemorates its half-century milestone, this digital reissue honours the legacy of these remarkable performers and their contribution to classical music.
