Description:

Uta Weyant's Elegant Ravel! Born into a musical family in Germany, Uta Weyandt has won first prizes at the Steinway International Piano Competition in Berlin and the Valencia Jose Iturbi International Piano Competition in Spain. In Ravel's Piano Concerto this time, Uta Vejanto moves freely throughout the accompaniment of the Northwest German Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yves Abel, and plays this difficult piece beautifully and elegantly. The skill with which he makes the piece sound like music, rather than a technical piece, is superb. The simultaneous recording of "Pavane for a Dead Princess" and Bizet's symphony is also performed stylishly and neatly by Yves Abel and the Northwest Deutsche Philharmonic Orchestra. Tokyo M-Plus
