“… These are fine performances …”

Roger Hecht – American Record Guide – May/June 2023

**** Excellent Album

Gérard Belvire – Classica magazine (France) – June 2023

Artistic Quality 9 Sound Quality 9 Overall Impression 9

“… Not only is the music played beautifully, but music is told in a gripping way.”

Guido Krawinkel – klassik-heute.de – 18 February 2023

Editor’s Choice – March 2023

“Treviño and his Basque band pull off another coup with a second helping of Ravel.” *****

Steve Moffat – Limelightmagzine.com.au – 11 February 2023

Performance **** Recording ***

“… [Frontispiece] is two minutes of Ravel at his quirkiest. Pierre Boulez, commissioned to orchestrate it in celebration of the composer’s centenary in 1975, chose to expand it in texture... The result, here recorded for the first time, is understandably more Boulez than Ravel. The players here do valiant work, as they do in the masterpieces, observing the composer’s markings with only a few exceptions…”

Roger Nichols – BBC Music magazine – January 2023

“The two main works here are especially well performed, and in good sound.”

Roy Westbrook – MusicWeb-International.com – 8 December 2022

“… there is a novelty here which will be unfamiliar to most: Pierre Boulez’s orchestration of his piano work Frontispice. However, before enthusiasts become too excited, it should be pointed out that the piece is extremely brief. Nevertheless, the other familiar pieces on the set are given very striking performances under Robert Trevino... the Basque orchestra gives dazzling performances of these works by their own national composer… this album includes some rarities, including Ma Mère l’Oye (Mother Goose) in its complete ballet version.”

Barry Forshaw – Classical CDChoice.co.uk – 29 November 2022

“… Excellent disc.”

Edward Seckerson – Gramophone magazine – November 2022
