Comparaison n'est pas raison... et Samson François fut parmi tous l'incomparable, il le reste aujourd'hui, on a tout dit à son sujet, le vrai et le faux, reste l'indicible car son génie musical et son génie humain relèvent de l'indicible, j'en conserve un souvenir vivant et indélébile pour avoir eu la chance de l'entendre salle Pleyel à l'occasion de l'un de ses derniers concerts, son ensorcelant Gaspard de la nuit figurait au programme, l'auditoire était dans un état second, phénomène collectif et émotionnel palpable même pour la gamine et mélomane en herbe, autant dire ignare, que j'étais alors, ne comprenant rien mais percevant que quelque chose d'extraordinaire se passait. J'aime beaucoup le commentaire de l'un des visiteurs ici : "Ravel l'a écrit pour lui" : c'est faux mais c'est vrai..., c'est simple, subtil et poétique, joli hommage à un immense artiste.

The Pogorelich version on Deutsche Grammaphon from the mid-1980s has always been my reference version, and I saw him perform it twice live, but this one is every bit its equal if not greater, although the sound quality is a bit tinny. Incredible precision and delicacy, combined with sheer power when needed as in the great cascade a 4:30. Astonishing!!

@@anestablished I kept that printed program & am looking at it now. His stage appearance was very unaffected professional, the "real thing." He played a Baldwin. He played several smaller pieces & ended with Prokofieff Son 7. His French appearance & mannerisms transfixed & delighted the audience. Superb playing, relaxed. Date was 11-21-59. Debussy(3 Etudes) Liszt (4 pieces), Chopin(4 pieces), & the prokofieff Son. All were major & familiar works. I saw them all, Ashkenazy approx 30 or 40 times, Francois has always been up there in my wonderful memories. A dynamic person. He had no problem with the piano

saintansele Thank you for replying to my message and sharing your experience. It means a lot to me! I liked him, if not love, ever since I was a teenager, before I can speak this language. There was one day I saw “ the great pianists of 20th” CD recordings, and I thought he was someone else as introduced in “ The Art of the Piano”. Then his playing overturned my perception of Chopin. Then I collected his full recordings of Chopin, and then Ravel. I also had his recording for Mozart “ Little Star Variation”, and small pieces of Mendelssohn. He’s just like you said “ effortlessly “. It was not until that I grew much up that I saw his videos, listening him talking about his playing. ( I saw one piece in a documentary of his teacher Yvonne Lefebure. He talked about Debussy.) He really played as he talked, or vice versa. I mean, today we hear a lot of pianists talk about their playing, and their thoughts. But somehow, their performances really does not reflect what they say and I would consider such as “ insincere”. Too bad we don’t have many pianists like him today as we did before. I also like Dinu Lipatti. Speaking of so, I think Cortot must be a very good teacher!!!

Sam Betanzos François' Ondine is about as alive as a rotting tree stuck in a frozen lake. Ondine is supposed to be a seductive water (the faster notes) nymph (melodic line); I do not find an ice-block seductive. Is Ondine in your repertoire? I learned it, and I have taught it a lot, in both masterclasses and individual lessons.
@samuel7233 жыл бұрын
@@EmptyVee00000 Ondine is in my repertoire. And while Ashkenazy’s faster notes are faster than Francois’, Francois’ nymph line is seductive and cantabile where Ashkenazy’s is inert and simple like a child’s humming. On top of that Francois has more understanding of harmony and harmonic swells (imperative to interpreting ravel), and has a poet’s sensibility for pulse and rubato where Ashkenazy either prefers his music lifeless without manipulation of time or does not comprehend the idea in the first place.

@@samuel723 Nice words, but my view differs greatly from yours, and I find Ashkenazy to be one of a very small number of pianists who live the music, and cause the listener to live it as well. Each to his own.

Höchste Präzision der klanglichen Realisierung einer sehr persönlichen Auffassung, die stets höchst faszinierend ist. Ein Pianist, der jedes Stück so verschiedener Komponisten wie Chopin, Beethoven und Ravel mit unverwechselbar eigenem Ton erfüllen kann, höchste klangliche Charakterisierung als Ziel von Virtuosität auffasst, ist in jedem Fall einer der bedeutendsten Musiker. Keine aufgebauschten Klangwolken, stattdessen durchsichtige Klarheit und maximale Konzentration auf den klanglichen Ausdruck eines jeden einzelnen komponierten Tons! Wer macht es nach?

He captures the shimmering quality of Ondine better than just about anybody else. This recording is quite wonderful, even by today's standards, considering it comes to us from 1957. But he makes an unfortunate error at 4:18 that rather mars the performance. Le Gibet is no doubt taken much too fast, but it's still somewhat effective in the hands of a great pianist like Samson Francois. Many other pianists also take the piece too fast, but I don't know of any who take it this fast. It's probably fair to say that Ravel would have been distressed by this performance. But the performance of Scarbo is simply wonderful!

My opinion: Michelangeli has the best Ondine. It’s straight to the point. Pogorelich’s Le Gibet is the most harmonically conveying and had that creepy vibe to it. And Samson Francois just destroys Scarbo. I’ve yet to hear a better interpretation of Scarbo. I still love other recordings though, as they always have something different to them. I am against finding the absolute best interpretations because all of them are good, but these, are geniuses

Samson François est excellent, mais il ne faut pas oublier que les pianistes, amis de Ravel, qui ont joué ses oeuvres depuis le début, sont Robert Casadesus et Vlado Perlemuter. Casadesus a joué en tournée avec Ravel et Perlemuter est le seul pianiste à avoir travaillé l'intégrale de ses oeuvres, chez Ravel, durant six mois en 1925.

Non, le Maître ne fut ni le seul, ni le premier : l'honneur en revint à sa contemporaine Henriette Faure. Par ailleurs, s'agissant des proches, pionniers, amis ou dédicataires, vous oubliez Alfred Cortot, Lazare-Lévy et Louis Aubert (ses camarades de classe au Conservatoire), Marguerite Long, Harold Bauer .... s'il s'agissait de se contenter seulement de citer ceux de ces interprètes qui sont encore célèbres aujourd'hui. Que dire de Ricardo Viñes ! Ou de Juliette Meerovitch, tôt disparue, dont Ravel reconnut lui-même que personne ne jouerait plus son Trio, après elle, avec cette sonorité irréelle qu'il attendait, qu'il exigeait dans l'Allegro, qu'aucun autre ne savait obtenir.
