Complete piano music ; vol. 1 (2026)

"World-premiere recordings of early works which shed new light on a foundational figure of classical music in Mexico. On this pioneering volume of Revueltas' piano music, there are 24 separate pieces, none longer than a four-minute Lento doloroso, all individual movements aside from a two-movement Sonatina. Through their course, these pieces form a musical diary which both pays tribute to the instruction of Revueltas's teachers such as Manuel Ponce and Felipe Villanueva, as well as tracing a path of evolution between Mexican romanticism and modernism in music. Of Mexican and German parentage, the pianist Rodolfo Ritter is a professor at the conservatoire in Mexico City, and a musician who has worked to promote the music of his homeland, as a performer, editor and musicologist. His scholarship and musicianship distinguish him as the ideal artist to bring these forgotten pieces by Revueltas to international attention." (joesrecords.com)
