Description

“Stott has established herself as a sensitive interpreter of French music with recitals of Fauré and Debussy, and now here she is in Ravel – and in two works at least (Gaspard and Le tombeau de Couperin) which are technically especially challenging.
… I’m glad to be able to praise a fluid but unhurried Jeux d’eau that is well served, too, by the velvety-rich recorded sound … it ‘s attractive. So are the Sonatine, and the tenderly solemn Pavane pour une infante défunte ” (Gramophone)
