| In honour of Maurice Ravel’s 150th anniversary in March 2025, the Pacific Quintet is thrilled to present one of his landmark works Le Tombeau de Couperin. Originally composed as a solo piano suite between 1914 and 1917, Le Tombeau de Couperin pays homage not only to the Baroque composer François Couperin but also to friends Ravel lost during World War I. Each movement is dedicated to a fallen soldier, blending elegance with a deep sense of remembrance. This piece’s graceful elegance, combined with Ravel’s masterful use of colour and texture, makes it a perfect match for a woodwind quintet. The rich blend of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn highlights the lyrical beauty of each movement—from light, dance-like passages to moments of deep reflection. The interplay of these instruments offers a fresh perspective on Ravel’s music, creating a vivid and intimate soundscape. This release is a tribute to Ravel’s timeless artistry and enduring legacy. Join us as we celebrate Ravel’s 150th anniversary by sharing the beauty of Le Tombeau de Couperin.
