Composed between 1929 and 1931, Ravel’s two piano concertos reflect his enthusiasm for jazz, though one that was thoroughly absorbed into his own idiom. The ‘Concerto in G major’, originally conceived as a Basque rhapsody, is lightly scored but sports a vivacious percussion section, galvanising motor rhythms and a slow movement of astonishing beauty. The ‘Concerto for the Left Hand’, commissioned by Paul Wittgenstein who had lost his right arm in the First World War, is a single movement tour de force, as is ‘Tzigane’, a gypsy violin showpiece of dazzling virtuosity.
