Maurice Ravel: "Ma mère l’oye" with Esa-Pekka Salonen | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra 

It's very easy to go on a Ravel binge!!!

This is my favorite of Ravel's compositions and it is such a treat to see it played so beautifully by this orchestra. Thank you ALL for this performance!

Merveilleuse rencontre avec Ravel...❤

I: Prélude - Très lent (Prelude - Very Slow) - 1:07 II: Premier tableau - Danse du rouet et scène (First Tableau - Spinning Wheel Dance and Scene) - 4:11 III: Deuxième tableau - Pavane de la belle au bois dormant (Second Tableau - Sleeping Beauty Pavane) - 7:44 IV: Interlude (Interlude) - 9:30 V: Troisième tableau - Les entretiens de la belle et de la bête (Third Tableau - Dialogues of Beauty and the Beast) - 10:26 VI: Interlude (Interlude) - 15:03 VII: Quatrième tableau - Petit Poucet (Fourth Tableau - Hop-o'-My-Thumb) - 15:56 VIII: Interlude (Interlude) - 19:30 IX: Cinquième tableau - Laideronnette, impératrice des Pagodes (Fifth Tableau - Laidronette, Empress of the Pagodas) - 21:21 X: Interlude (Interlude) - 25:04 XI: Sixième tableau - Le jardin féerique (Sixth Tableau - The Fairy Garden) - 26:27 Bravo, and thank you for uploading this incredible performance! There are tragically too few recordings of the ballet version available on RU-vid.

Je ne remercierai jamais assez mon professeur de musique pour m’avoir fait découvrir le grand Maurice Ravel et étudier cette magnifique œuvre en particulier.

Love watching Salonen conduct - he is so connected with the music. He conducts beautifully! And at the end he so graciously thanks the orchestra, sometimes individually certain members, but you can see in his eyes how grateful he is. Bravo Salonen.

Assister à ce spectacle, est de tous les enchantements...Merci.

It's a revelation to hear the full ballet score. I've known the version for piano duet and the orchestral version all my life, so to discover completely new Ravel is a treat to brighten this cold, wet winter's day, thank you!

A lovely performance, wonderful solos throughout, marvellous. Patrick

Just wonderful!

Gorgeous! Absolutely wonderful, is really utmost beatiful played. Tempi are so elegant and gentle. Maestro Salonen is a great master of rubato. Vielen Danke NDR!

Bravo au Maestro et a l'ingenieur du son; on distingue parfaitement les differents instruments; c'est tres distingue et delicat, bravo

Sans aucun doute la plus belle interprétation de cette oeuvre, si pleine de poésie, qu'il nous ait été donné d'entendre . Thanks for uploading this chef d'oeuvre.

Gorgeous! Ravel is one of my top favourite composers -- ever. Strange how there are alot of empty seats. This performance is the best. Thanks.

Die beste Aufnahme, die ich jemals gehört habe, wie z. B. beim Feengarten von ca 29:24 bis Ende muß ich stark weinen!

What a refreshing reading!

Super !!!!!

Marvelous.

Gorgeous camera work and high quality sound engineering. Bravo to NDR Klassik!

Beautiful performance!

In tears watching this 🥲 bravo!!!!

Thank you so very much! Music lifting hearts again.

Bravo. Sehr gute Interpretation und danke auch dafür, dass die vollständige Ballettmusik gespielt wurde, die wunderbar delikate Stellen enthält. Sehr gut.

De l'air! semble dire la Bête. Superbe réalisation.

Bravo to all!! Well played! Beautiful music for a beautiful hall! Thanks for uploading this.

Meravigliosa interpretazione!

sublime magic.. thank you for uploading!

How beautiful is Ravel tuning

Magnifique

beautiful performance

sublime!

Thanks for this upload. It’s great to hear the whole ballet. I’m wondering why he didn’t use a baton on this particular one? 🤔All the best!

4:10 What a crescendo!!! How long is the reverberation in your hall at the loudest points? Like 2-3 seconds?

18:05 I guess the concert master should have practised that a little more.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I'm drunk with the wine named Ravel~~:)

A musical fairytale from the land of the Brothers Grimm 😃

so beautiful. Why isn't the place packed ????

Bravissimo! Is it an artificial harmonic at 1:24?

Weird version. Salonen sure took a lot of liberty with the score.

18:04 soa como um porquinho da índia

25:44

J'ai l'impression que la salle est vide, c'est triste.

Le Jardin féerique est joué un peu trop lentement.

Für Nordlichter nicht schlecht wie sie französische Impressionistische spielen

Le premier violon solo commence à être fatigué.

Wonderful to listen to -- not so wonderful to watch. That pattern on the wall behind the musicians is disturbing. It may help with acoustics or it may be an artistic choice, but it sets off my trypophobia (look it up).

Such wonderful piece. It's too bad Salonen gets so fussy with details and with controlling the sound & balance on a minute technical level - wildly micromanaging - that he completely misses the inner core & beauty of the piece. This is a cold technical performance, very well executed by the excellent orchestra musicians that reflects a very superficial understanding of the piece. There are many MUCH better performances.

У Салонена какое-то неестественное движение музыки...
