Proms 2008
Ravel once played Rhapsody in Blue to Gershwin at a private party. It's tempting to think it must have sounded something like Rogé's performance here: sophisticated, elegant, oh-so-well-well-behaved… the Left Hand Concerto starts well with wonderfully saturnine grumblings and a superbly sculpted long orchestral crescendo. Rogé's long soliloquy after the Allegro's huge climax is particularly fine.
May/June 2008
Rogé’s playing of Ravel’s Left-Hand concerto is masterly. He has complete technical regard for the work; more importantly, he appreciates the range of the music, its darkness, menace, anger, other-worldly escape,
introspection and defiance.
