To celebrate Maurice Ravel’s 150th anniversary in 2025, Kebyart sets out to explore his unique compositional legacy, despite the composer never having written for saxophone quartet. The album includes Kebyart’s transcriptions of Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin and Pavane pour une infante défunte, alongside arrangements of French Baroque works by Rameau, highlighting both Ravel’s admiration for ornamentation and his influence on today’s composers. New pieces by Mikel Urquiza and Joan Pérez-Villegas engage with Ravel’s musical philosophy, delving into his radical simplicity, subtle rhythmic layers and inventive structures. Through these works, Kebyart aims to unravel Ravel’s complex yet elegant style, blending the past with the future in a journey of musical discovery.
