A Ravel Soiree

Tom Service and Sara Mohr-Pietsch present a Ravel evening with live music from Radio 3 New Generation Artist Louis Schwizgebel, guests including Ravel scholar and consultant on the Radio 3 day, Roger Nichols and the composer George Benjamin, and celebrated recordings of some of his last works including Bolero, the Left Hand Piano Concerto, the G major Piano Concerto and the Don Quichotte Songs. There'll also be several Ravel Revealed features including a look at Ravel and literature with Ian McMillan, a programme of readings and music from the actress Kristin Scott Thomas, a visit to Ravel's house just outside Paris and a look at the final debilitating disease.
