Maurice Ravel - Ma Mère l'Oye (Mother Goose) (Full) 

It’s magical ✨

REALLY?? It always reminded me of a mother's smile, kind and adoring but bittersweet with knowledge and understanding of the hardships ahead, but glorious in all the effort because the love she bears for you. I love the ending it makes me cry happy tears

It DOES have a sense of finality to it, but always remember: in its orchestrated version, it is vastly more powerful than it is in its rather trite pianisitic version. I'm am grateful for that.

This is excellent. I'd also recommend The Planets by Gustav Holst.

Totally agree .. it’s wonderful ❤

Le tombeau de Couperin!

Thank you!!! I was just saying to my husband that I wished the timestamps were given for these.

No problem. I think you're the first one to thank me for any timestamps I've made for any video, so thank you for your thank you, means a lot.

Well said. Beautiful concept.

lovely 💗🙏🤲

Absolutely magical ❤

With Debussy in tow....I agree.

Sad that Ravel was an atheist, as was our marvellous Ralph Vaughan Williams, who studied under him. Aaron Copland too... My feeling is that the Holy Spirit reached them anyway, well Williams and Copland surely.

" tactless " " bad manners and lack of appreciation ". What utter drivel. So, only your viewpoint matters, plus those who agree with you. No room in your cloistered world for alternative opinions then ? From where I'm sitting it's you exhibiting the " bad manners ", etc.

@@MOGGS1942 Speak for yourself. Oh golly, here we are! There are people who downclick for lots of reasons *other than* an honest assessment of the content. These are the types who also laugh-react a non-humor post, for example, to downplay the veracity of what another says because they simply don't "like" it or don't "agree" with a discussing and are being petty, though too cowardly to do much else, like have an honest dialog. Unless there is something truly objectionable to content here on YT (real and actual violence, harm, hatred expressed, etc), I refrain from 👍 or 👎 in that case if content merely doesn't appeal to my personal aesthics. Art and its appeal is always extremely individualistic. Even a piece which isn't appealing to my personal aesthitic doesn't mean it deserves 👎 if the skill, talent, execution of a performance, etc., still has technical merit, for example. That would apply to any performance, really. Credit where is credit due, even if it isn't personally something I'd select for myself to see/hear more of. But there are many who don't think very far past their own narrow criteria, and their reactions are very obvious, too. If something isn't appealing to their aesthetic, they are quick to diminish, regardless of other merits. That's the point. Speaking of reactions, you might want to rethink yours in relation to clear-eyed realizations of human behavior.

I know exactly what you mean. It's heartbreaking how beautiful that moment is. *sniffles

many times

So true. This is one of the best student orchestras I've ever heard. Maybe THE best.

+Constellations Agreed, she also looks like a young Delia Smith (the famous British cook)

Yassss

Oui, the Pierre Boulez and BPO is to die for!

!6:15 me too. There was a ballet duet called Beauty and the Beast choreographed to this music and I had the great joy to dance in it in 1974 as a graduate student of the Royal Ballet School.

Can someone link it for me? I keep finding the wrong one I think

You are a genius.I got here looking for something indefinable after hearing Respighi's Botticelli Triptych.

Here! Came right away after seeing the song title.

OCD trigger

Contrabassoon, plays an octave lower than the bassoon beside it.

James Millen the principal flutist doesn't have Ms Dwyer's signature vibrato.

James Millen Yes, hard to replace, and perhaps impossible on the DG vinyl offering of Debussy's," Sonata for "Flute Viola and Harp." But good grief… these folks are nailing it. For me, it's one of the most sensitive performances.

E Mack yes I think she was too 😂

I thought this was a wonderful performance and extremely well directed too. Very moving. Well done to the orchestra and conductor 👏👏👏

Go to the Scott Brothers (piano) duo of this piece and read about the pagodes and pagodines of that forest!

So rare! Much appreciation here, also!

Indeed, it is sharp by quite a bit. And he never corrects it.
