Renowned for his lyrical poeticism and outstanding virtuosity, pianist Artur Pizarro now turns to the music of the French impressionist Maurice Ravel for his fifth recording with Linn Records. The Complete Works of Ravel Vol. 1 follows celebrated albums of repertoire by Chopin and Beethoven and was complemented by Volume 2 in 2008.

In 2006 Artur Pizarro embarked on the complete solo works of Ravel & Debussy in a series of live performances at St John’s, Smith Square in London, as well as in Lisbon and Århus, that met with critical success: "Ravel's La Valse concluded this important undertaking by such a very gifted artist, for its virtuosic difficulties are manifold...his technique and musical qualities were fully up to the astounding demands of the piece" (Musical Opinion).
