As soldier of modern times, Maxime Zecchini gave an impressive reading of the masterpiece of Ravel's concerto, both on the purely pianistic level and on the musical expression.

 From the beginning, we are fascinated by the virtuosity of this famous left hand, which gives the illusion of having ten fingers, moves with a big velocity from the extreme low to the extreme high, multiplies the sound complaints and easily follows perilous lines. But beyond the technical particularities, it is a real panorama of the French school that Zecchini gives to see : from Bruno Mantovani to Nicolas Bacri, various styles are called together, but one remains struck by the unity of the whole.

Incredible! Phenomenal! Extraordinary! For our listeners, Maxime Zecchini always plays only with his left hand. We can’t believe his ears, but I guarantee it’s true... This will be the first time in the world that all these works will be recorded and gathered in this way...

Like any pianist normally constituted, Maxime Zecchini one fine day plunged into the Concerto for the left hand of Ravel. Many other interpreters before him took on this work and...stayed there! This was not the case for our pianist...An anthology in 10 volumes : you need one, it will be him ! Zecchini contacts the label Ad Vitam records and proposes to launch into a vast anthology in 10 volumes of the repertoire for the left hand – a first in the history of the disc... The pianist masterfully took up the challenge...
