Celebrate Maurice Ravel’s 150th birthday
2025 marks the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel’s birth in 1875. With his unique and compelling voice at the crossroads between Impressionism and modernism, Ravel created kaleidoscopic soundscapes out of poetry, color, and rhythm, drawing inspiration from mythological realms, faraway lands, and his own prodigious imagination.
For Ravel newcomers and confirmed aficionados alike: immerse yourself in the iconic French composer’s singular universe all year long as we bring you brand-new and live performances by world-leading artists, medici.tv-exclusive featurettes, and specially curated collections!

I feel deeply fortunate to be something of a latecomer to classical music, having fallen in love with it only as an adult. Why "fortunate"? Because I still have so many masterpieces to discover, and I get to savor every note of my first listen! One of my favorite recent discoveries was Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto, which bowled me over with its assertive and modern sound, despite being the work of a prodigious 16-year-old artist in 1835. That virtuosic piano line, those soaring orchestral themes… I particularly love the third movement and the (too) short dialogue between the bassoon and the piano (30:33-31:08), cheerful and self-assured, which seems to pass along a sense of accomplishment to the listener from the composer herself.
