Considered together with Debussy as THE iconic French composer of the turn of the century, Maurice Ravel was well travelled… in his soul! Virtually without leaving his homeland, rather like Johann Sebastian Bach, he integrated foreign influences that came his way to make his very own style.
Tzigane and his Piano Trio are two beautiful examples: where the first obviously delves into Central European ground, the second borrows from his Basque homeland (for the first movement) as well as from Eastern poetry (for the second movement named «Pantoum»).
