May 2025
[La valse] sounds as if at least six hands are at work. This is a titanic, gripping account of this tumultuous piece, combining impact with warmth and projecting with absolute clarity the collapse of civilization around us. A timely vision.
April 2025
In Chamayou’s intended order, which intermingles Ravel with the composers who evoke and distort him, this artfully organised recital provides an agreeably disorientating sensation in which our understanding of the composer is subtly transformed...In sum, a revelatory release that’s well worth your attention.
