Maurice Ravel was a versatile and eclectic composer who took his inspiration from many sources, but especially from music of the eighteenth century and French Baroque. His Menuet antique, Pavane pour une infante dfunte, Valses nobles et sentimentales and Tombeau de Couperin are fine illustrations of that interest and inspiration, and they are the works presented on this new recording by Clment Lefebvre.
