Album by Maurice Ravel & Tōru Takemitsu & Olivier Messiaen & Momo Kodama

La vallée des cloches is a piano movement by French composer Maurice Ravel, composed in 1905 as part of his suite Miroirs. The piece evokes bell-like sonorities through shimmering high-register textures and impressionistic harmonies, illustrating Ravel's interest in timbre and pianistic colour within his early 20th-century output.
