En la proximidad que me unio a Marthita por mi familia de musicos herederos de la enseñanza del gran Maestro Vicente Scaramuzza jamas podre olvidar una respuesta estudiando n casa de mis padres esta " noble y sentimental" obra de como transformarla en algo tan trascendental en su finisima interpretacion a lo que me respondio ... Dejar conectar con el espiritu vivo del compositor . Ahi realize el poder mediumnico de esta Artista unica e irrepetible , una vez mas gracias por tanto amiga !!!
Ravel's friend and contemporary Charles Kœchlin said that waltzes were sarcastically laughed at when first performed. Who were those people to be laughing at THIS...
They did not know it was a new piece by Ravel, this and other pieces were first performed anonimously!! This is my favorite piano piece by Ravel, ex-aqueo with Le Tombeau du Couperin. I love Miroirs too, but with too many pianists it becomes boring. Alas, Argerich never recorded it and I don't know if she ever performed it in public.
1st track: Too much pedal. Pace is too consistent. Not "French" enough as Ravel's direction on the score states. Kinda boring. Arcadi Volodos version is spot on.
