I love this piece. A shame there were a couple of sync lags between Martha and Orchestra. Nonetheless......beautiful. (this is one of my favourites though, even though not live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DA5Db8TsfoY.htmlsi=V95EBEh65K1195OZ )
One of the most beautiful, poignant pieces I've ever heard. I first heard this upon recommendation of a piano student in my dorm at Kent State In 1970. I will always associate this beautiful piece with the shootings there
La première fois que j'ai entendu ceci, à la radio!; un moment de paix etsolitude dans ma vie, jelavais les planchers le vendredi matin....et bien, j9'ai accoté les instruments au mur, je me suis couchée a terre et jai vecue cette musique dans tout mes cellules
Il n'y avait rien d'autre à faire! J' avoue, oui que Ravel exprimé toute la vie ici. Le drame, l' anticipation, l'amour. La tristesse..et finalement l'acceptation..peut être la mort. J'aurais aimé le rencontrer.
Brendel играет гораздо грубее и менее логично, чем Баренбойм. Просто неудачное исполнение, текст потерял в середине , а в целом Баренбойм изумительный, тонкий профессионал!
When Ravel's orchestral dissonance really kicks in (in the second half or so... from @4 minutes on...), and she keeps on playing the waltz over four....and the dissonance grows... and she takes us up above the fray into the clouds... with those "late-Beethoven-esque" trills.... I go from pain to transcendence. It's a miraculous feat of creation - beauty.
Una dolcezza che non è stucchevole indugio nella malinconia, ma una ricerca di armonia. Ne amo la tenerezza adulta di una persona che si supera e sa abbandonarsi. Una delle composizioni più belle di Ravel e della Francia di quegli anni, ma oserei anche di più, se non fossi in preda a una quieta commozione ❤️
Sometimes there is nothing you can say about a piece life this . Close your eye , your heart grows , your emotions scream and then you breath… the second movement of Ravel, if I may compare, has only equal to Mozart’s liano concertos.. i only want to compare the genius and beauty .😅
I've commented elsewhere on my belief that Barenboim is a worthy interpreter of Beethoven, but doesn't begin to understand Schubert. He admitted (I can't recall where I came across that report) that he had neglected that composer (check his discography). I suspect he was quite contemptuous of Schubert as a serious keyboard composer, and considered his music beneath the dignity of such a great pianist as himself.. When I heard the opening bars, my initial reaction wass that this was the best I had ever heard Barenboim playing Schubert. That impression did not survive the middle section (even ignoring the mistake). As for that dreadful mistake, I don't think age can be blamed (I heard Rubinstein when he was 84 play Schubert's longest sonata brilliantly ). This was not a two hour recital, but a 7 minute performance of a single work. He would have had ample time to learn and practise the work for what was an important state occasion and, if he had any doubts, he could have had a score in front of him. This is all consistent with the contempt which I suspect he holds. Schubert is about heart and emotions and sensitivity (and yin if you believe in that concept). There are a number of pianists who bring out these features. The best among them could be the late Radu Lupu.
C’est un des sommets de la musique. J’ai écouté en parallèle les interprétations de Hélène Grimaud (T. Hengelbrock 2017), Fazil Say (C. jarvi 2014) et Pascal Roger (Dutoit 1983) sans parvenir à déterminer celle qui m’émeut le plus. C’est dire si cette œuvre transcende toutes les interprétations, les tempos et les techniques pianistiques par lesquels ces artistes ne font qu’exprimer leur sensibilité. C’est tout le génie et la générosité de Maurice Ravel.
Of all the wonderful second movements in all the great piano concertos, this is definitely one of my favorites. Just stunning and a flawless interpretation by Argerich, as usual ❤
