Some otherworldly moments to make you fall in love with Ravel: 6:58 - an enchanting love spell 12:37 - tender fragrant chords 27:17 - a monstrous buildup to a colossal climax to the very end, along with jaw-dropping harmonic changes
Magnificent, as usual with Ravel. However i would note that while the Beaux Arts Trio is excellent, i'd recommend also the recording with Renaud and Gautier Capuçon and Frank Braley. Beautiful album
The Capucon recording is absolutely stunning and I listen to it nearly daily recently, but I must say this recording on my first listen is equal if not surpasses it!
lemme hit that subscribe button real quick. while I would dispute whether no other recording can match this one, it's jaw-dropping to say the least. what's the score? I mean I thought only the ol' tired Durand is available.
Appreciate the upload. It's technically well done, and the performance has rhythmic vitality others are lacking in. The tempo of some passages I'd do differently. Also the sound mixing is a bit unbalanced towards the piano.
Glad you noticed! Yes, the Bärenreiter score I use is based on Ravel's manuscript and most recordings and score editions (for example, Henle) are based on the first published edition, which came later. Differences are mostly in the second movement, namely m.23-34 [2] and m.234 [22] where there is an additional beat of anticipation of the A ottava. You can compare it with the edition from IMSLP. Personally I think it's more reasonable to use a score based on the first edition, like Henle's, because such degree of alteration must have been authorized by the composer. I've thought about switching, but it's kind of too late since the video has got many views...
@@0reason2exist meaningful my ass. The score isnt even right 11:04 the score in this video shows piano is playing chords, with a triplet only on the first beat, but the actual score and recording has loads of triplet running through the entire section, is way richer than what written here fuck incorrect scores. Dont believe me? check yourself
@@KinkyLettuce oh yeah wth that’s weird, maybe different editions feature some different rhythms, or maybe they’re playing something from an ossia or something (tbh i havent really listened to this piece before)
Because it's not. There are a couple of small differences, probably because of ambiguity between the manuscript and printed editions. I did notice one note in the Passacaglia (maybe m. 42?), where the strings play a C natural on beat three instead of the written C sharp (the piano has C sharp written with cautionary accidentals). But other than a few places, it's not "horribly wrong."
