Product Family | RAVEL La Valse / Mao Fujita

“Musical moments” can be moments of memories or reflection, a retrospect of the past or an anticipation of the future, that are enriched by hearing or thinking of a special piece of music in that same moment. Further artists in the series include Daniel Barenboim, Yuja Wang, Nadine Sierra, Avi Avital and Albrecht Mayer just to name a few.

At 22, pianist Mao Fujita draws rave reviews and great expectations from the most seasoned pundits. Listening to his interpretation of Maurice Ravel’s La Valse you hear why – complex and at times tumultuous, Fujita guides the listener through Ravel’s impressionistic deconstruction of the Viennese waltz with superior confidence, his firm eyes always on the underlying dance melody.
