Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is one of the most important composers of the 20th century. With Claude Debussy, he is among the most important impressionists and is also considered a forerunner of expressionism.

2025 marks the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel's birth in Ciboure, French Basque Country. To mark the occasion, this programme has been put together, consisting of five complete song cycles. Three are by Ravel himself, one by his composition teacher Gabriel Fauré and one cycle by his main student : Ralph Vaughan Williams.
