Overview
Ravel wrote Tzigane for the Hungarian violinistJelly d’Arányi and accompanied her in its firstperformance in London in 1924. ‘This Tziganemust be a piece of great virtuosity’, he wrote whileworking on the score.
In company with the ViolinSonatas of Shostakovich and Ravel, Tziganeamounts to a work of true musical substance,perfectly matched to the essential talents of JanineJansen and Itamar Golan.
