Composer:
Ludwig van Beethoven

Artist(s):
Ivan Moravec

Conductor:
Jiri Belohlavek

Background: This recording brings together three gems of piano literature, spanning the expanse of time from the late Classical era of Beethoven, through the sweet, refined harmonies characteristic for the neo-Romantic idiom of Franck, to the Impressionism of Ravel's last orchestral work, influenced by post-World War I aesthetics and jazz.

Ivan Moravec's performance weds technical refinement with undiluted wisdom of experience. These assets of the soloist, combined in the studio with the youthful zest and pure joy of music-making which inspires the work of the Prague Philharmonia under its principal conductor Jirí Belohlávek, add up to nothing less than a tour de force.
