mainOne of the most private, sedate composers has been subjected to animation.
Looks good, but it is anywhere near any known truth?

It’s titled “Ravel Unraveled.”
Appearance-wise, it’s like he mixed Ravel up with Debussy or Dukas
Lovely recording, makes me want to purchase entire album.
yes… better to read the book of Jean Echenoz
I love the book by Echenoz and this film is beautiful.
I like this!
Thanks@!
Well he was subjected to ice dancing and that seemed to go well
What’s the matter? Too much diversity for you?
This video is called Journey of the Pantoum, and the movement is titled Pantoum. As for known truths, we know Ravel was consumed by the impending war and enlisted as soon as he completed the Piano Trio. The brilliant animation provides a sense of what Ravel may have been thinking as he put the work together in only five weeks. The playing is fantastic.
I enjoyed this, both the animation and the music. But then Ravel is sublime.
Ravel always was, in his quiet manner. The music has never grown old or outdated, ‘in spite of’ being ‘traditional’ and at a distance of ‘modernism’.
Marvellous.
