Rêves de Jeux Mécaniques – Film
Ravel is best known for Bolero. But most people don’t know he loved mechanical wind-up toys and had a vast collection of them. In this filmed performance made for screen, we enter Ravel’s imagination, where toys come alive in the dead of night. Darragh Morgan and Tim Gill give a powerful, intimate performance of Maurice Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello.
As commented by one audience member “Possibly the most imaginative use of video I’ve seen in the past twelve months” this film won a Silver Medal Award for Outstanding Achievement at the Global Music Awards (2021).
Directed by Jonathan Berman. A Greengage Production.
