After this strong rendition, it was possible to Maurice Ravel's famous piano trio from 1914 almost takes your breath away. stop. The color palette ranged from slim line and of the strings and of the finest of the instruments. organic undulations of the keys - completely dedicated to the airy elegance according to the "impressionist" ideal - on the one hand up to the fat piano sepulchral basses of the "Passacaille" on the other.
