About
Melvyn Tan embraces three centuries keyboard style tracing the inspirations for Ravel’s ground-breaking works for piano. By exploring new pianistic territory, Ravel mirrored Scarlatti and Liszt in experimenting and expanding the possibilities of the keyboard, now setting it free in highly coloured, impressionistic washes of sound which evoke situations, landscapes and characters.

5th May 2019
Into his sequence of Ravel’s Valses nobles et sentimentales and Miroirs, Tan interpolates choice instances of influence. The Valses are preceded by Weber’s Invitation to the Dance, dispatched in the grand manner in the nicest possible way...A fascinating disc.
19th May 2019
It’s a beautifully judged disc, opening with a spectacularly virtuosic performance of Weber’s Invitation to the Dance, which leads perfectly to Ravel’s Valses nobles et sentimentales...An illuminating recording, captivatingly played.
