Music : Maurice Ravel - Complete Music for Piano Solo, Complete Piano Concertos (1993)

This is an excellent set of the Ravel's solo piano music. Werner Haas was a pupil of Walter Gieseking and it shows. He has a great sense of color and dynamic control. The music shimmers when it needs to - which is often in Ravel. His technique is incredible, I don't remember any wrong notes and he doesn't fudge the tempos which - I believe - is crucial to this music as nothing can disfigure pieces like Gaspard or Jeux D'eau like some overly exaggerated rubato!!
