Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) Sixth nocturne in D-flat major, op. 63 Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) Gaspard de la nuit Sergei Lyapunov (1859-1924) Tempête Au heart of this program is Gaspard de la nuit, masterpiece by Maurice Ravel and one of the most fascinating scores of the piano repertoire. Inspired by the fantastic poems of Aloysius Bertrand, this triptych unfolds a sound universe of extraordinary richness and virtuosity, where aquatic visions, suspended atmospheres, and demonic flashes intersect. Around this major work, the pages of Gabriel Fauré and Sergueï Liapounov extend this exploration of a piano that is by turns poetic, expressive, and spectacular.
