In Search of Lost Dances

From Rebel to Ravel 

Linos Piano Trio brings before us two mas­ter­pieces by Maurice Ravel: the Piano Trio and Le Tombeau de Couperin. Ravel’s trans­paren­cy and direct­ness, played on late 19^th-cen­tu­ry instru­ments, remind us that these neo-Baroque dances are not so far removed from their ances­tors. Linos places these works in a Proustian dia­logue with dances from ear­ly 18^th-cen­tu­ry France, includ­ing earthy dances by Haydn and Rebel.

Music by Maurice Ravel (1875−1937), Jean-Féry Rebel (1666−1747) and Joseph Haydn (1732−1809)
