‘Ravel is one of my favourite composers, has so many interesting figurations and textures – I could practise it for hours!’ enthuses George Xiaoyuan Fu (above). His winning album isn’t a straightforward performance of Ravel’s homage to the French avant-garde, however. Instead, it presents musical reflections – later works by composers ranging from Rachmaninov to Freya Waley-Cohen and Unsuk Chin – interspersed with the suite’s movements.
