Pellucid, fluent accounts of all five works from the classy Canadian pianist...Gaspard is a particular delight (Ondine shimmers and ripples, Le gibet is properly uncanny, and the notorious technical hurdles of Scarbo hold absolutely no terrors for Goodyear), whilst the ubiquitous Pavane pour une infante défunte is all the more affecting for being unsentimentalised.
Classical Ear October 2017
Goodyear offers an attractive selection of Ravel’s most popular piano works, from the delicate Neoclassicism of the Sonatine to the more involved and turbulent Miroirs and Gaspard de la Nuit. His primary virtues are accuracy and clarity, revealing all the inner mechanics of Ravel’s unique textures.
