Nelson Goerner has always dreamed of recording these two masterpieces of the concerto repertoire. In Kazuki Yamada he has found the ideal partner, who approaches Ravel's two piano concertos with the sensitivity and poetry for which Nelson Goerner is generally known. The two works, composed at the same time and premiered in 1932, are very different: the Concerto for the Left Hand, premiered in Vienna, was commissioned by the pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in 1914; the Concerto in G major, premiered in Paris, is known for its verve and famous pianistic insertions. Ravel had composed the "Pavane pour une infante defunte", a famous miniature of exquisite nostalgia, some 33 years earlier. The program is completed by the "Valses nobles et sentimentales"; Marguerite Long, who premiered the Concerto in G major, saw these eight interconnected pieces as a "stylistic panorama of the waltz" Waltz".
