I've loved Ma Mere l'Oye for over 60 years now and it still moves me as emotionally now as it did the first time I heard it. The genius of Ravel will intrigue for future centuries, I am certain.

Love this type of classical. It tells a story. It connects. It's structural. So beautiful. So vivid. So real. So unreal. Glorious. Ravel and Debussey always concluded their compositions with a glorious ending. As if Mother Nature composed through them. Love Edward Gardner. I think he had an organic at the ending.
This is gorgeous... I've never been so privileged to find a piece like this through anime. My special thanks to Maruice Ravel and to Clannad the anime.
Ce compositeur est davantage que le reflet d'une époque, c'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde prodigieuse chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme la féérie et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Son architecture musicale est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière 🤗
Beginning to 'unravel' his music myself. Nothing comes as close to the impressionists to creating a literal musical drug in sound, surreal. Those violin solos just make me wish there was a violin concerto, would've been amazing.
I remember my first encounter with this magical score was at a free concert in the National Library Building, Washington, D.C. and I have loved it ever since. Thank you for this upload.
This is just exquisite. How amazing it would have been to be there in person, but this video is the next best thing. Ravel and Puccini are my two favorite composers of all time. Ma mère l'Oye is my favorite work by this master. Thanks for sharing this lovely performance!
I really like the way Gardner conducts the orchestra. He's very precise and shows a lot of empathy for the piece. Ravel is a treasure of contemporary music. Even Stravinsky was impressed with him. Loved this rendition, it has become one of my favorites.
The first time I hear this piece was on the car radio while driving to a restaurant In Marina del Rey In L.A. It was one of those June gloom days by the marina and this music fit so well. My friend and I sat in the parking lot mesmerized watching the sea gulls flying around in the fog. What a beautiful piece of music.
I have experienced southern CA coastal "grey May" recently. The sun didn't come out for the whole 5 days there. Southern California is overrated as far as weather is concerned, in my opinion. Ravel (and all great music) to the rescue.
It can broke the apparent colourless reality, and put into there more live than our eyes are able to see and our soul is able to feel. Our humanity has been rescued by a dreamer man.
love it! but side tip for just anyone, if you have tuberculosis or some other respiratory issue that is going to cause you to go into a fit of coughing, stay home. disruptive towards everyone including yourself id have to imagine
Não tenho argumentação alguma,para comentar sobre compositores franceses,considerados da "era moderna",tamanha,suas sensibilidades e seus inegáveis talentos.Ravel e Debussy,principalmente.Maravilhosos!!!
The Dutch Radio Filharmonisch is not so well known outside the Netherlands though from all accounts I've seen and heard thanks to Y.T. it is the equal of more famous orchestras throughout the world.
Maurice Ravel es y ha sido siempre mi primordial compositor. Su música es sublime, plena de lirismo emocional y de gran sensibilidad. Toda su obra (con excepción de Bolero para mi gusto), es sencillamente maravillosa.
El primer movimiento de "Ma mère l’oye" : "Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant" (Pavana de la Bella Durmiente) está basado en un cuento de Charles Perrault. El segundo movimiento está también inspirado en otro cuento de Perrault: "Petit Poucet" (Pulgarcito) « Il croyait trouver aisément son chemin par le moyen de son pain qu'il avait semé partout où il avait passé ; mais il fut bien surpris lorsqu'il n'en put retrouver une seule miette : les oiseaux étaient venus et avaient tout mangé ». El tercer movimiento, "Laideronnette, Impératrice des Pagodes" (Feota, Emperatriz de las Pagodas) se basa en una historia de la Condesa Marie d’Aulnoy. La suite prosigue con un cuarto movimiento "Les entretiens de la Belle et de la Bête" (Las conversaciones de la Bella y la Bestia), basada en la leyenda de Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont: « - "Je meurs content puisque j'ai le plaisir de vous revoir encore une fois." - "Non, ma chère Bête, vous ne mourrez pas : vous vivrez pour devenir mon époux!" La Bête avait disparu et elle ne vit plus à ses pieds qu'un prince plus beau que l'Amour qui la remerciait d'avoir fini son enchantement ». En cuanto al quinto y último movimiento, se desconoce la fábula que lo inspiró: "Le jardin féerique" (El jardín de las hadas).
Just focus on the freakin music. Man, it really gets on my nerves this whole coughing thing. Like, people cough, get over it!! You should be focusing your attention on the music, rather then on the neighboor next to you, who coughs duirng a concert. Just saying
@@joaoviegas9352 ??? The point of this comment is that for some reason people don’t have the decency to at least hold in a cough during a performance, which could potentially disturb the audiences (real life) and the performers concentration...
Maravilhosa interpretação de uma obra encantadora, composta originalmente para piano, para ser tocada a quatro mãos, que Ravel criou como um presente a duas crianças que lhe eram caras, Mimie e Jean Godebsky, inspirada em contos de Charles Perrault e da condessa d'Aulnoy.
This concert hall needs a sign saying, "Coughers, kindly do not sit behind the orchestra, where recording microphones will pick up your annoying cough." The normal audience-in-front concert hall wouldn't have this problem nearly so much, since the mikes would be aimed away from the audience.
Fun fact: Ravel originally wrote Ma mère l'oye for four-hand piano, and he turned it into a ballet for orchestra. His friend Jacques Charlot transcribed it for solo piano.
This is a superb young conductor whose work is marked by a remarkable refinement and sensitivity. He deserves an appointment to a major orchestra. God knows we could use him here in New York where the Philharmonic grinds away under the hands of an absolute mediocrity.
It's so weird to recognize an orchestra from another piece I saw this same one performing Le Sacre Du Printemps (Rite of Spring) Amazing orchestra and performance
I was enjoying it so much until I scrolled down and read the comments.......... thanks guys I'll never be able to unhear all the coughing (the coughing at the end of pavane oh my god)
Excellent! Nice tempos, not too slow on either the first or last movement, which some conductors drain of their momentum altogether. All the solos here are beautifully played, and notice that Ravel chooses to use a modestly sized orchestra in this suite: Two each of woodwinds, no brass other than two horns, but plenty of gentle colors like harp and celeste, frequent divisions of string parts, and sparing use of untuned percussion like the gong.
