Miroirs

Album by Maurice Ravel & Alexander Krichel

Miroirs is a five-movement suite for solo piano by French composer Maurice Ravel, composed in 1905. The suite exemplifies Ravel's impressionistic palette, employing shimmering textures, modal harmonies and inventive piano sonorities to evoke vivid imagery, and it occupies a pivotal place in his early career as he developed orchestral thinking and colouristic writing that informed his later works.
First released: 3rd February 2017
