Leonard Pennario
Piano Colors of Ravel

  • Pavane pour une Infante Defunte
  • Jeux d'eau
  • Sonatine
  • Le Tombeau de Couperin
Paperback Classics Stereo RP 063 - 46:42 - free download

We began work on this lp with the intention of making it a part of Piano Portraits. But the Capitol surfaces did not cooperate, so the results, while eminently listenable, did not meeet the standards for a catalog release. Now salvaged from the ReDiscovery cutting room floor, so to speak, Leonard Pennario's first-rate Ravel proves to be an excellent demonstration of his musicianship and tonal beauty...along with a little vinyl noise here and there to complete the nostalgic effect. Gramophone didn't care for it, but that might be a point in its favor!
