Ravel - Gaspard de la nuit - Michelangeli Vatican 1987

[@Laurenzatto54]

Surrealist technique, surrealist sound, surrealist understanding of Ravel....By far the greatest version of all time by the greatest pianist who ever lived

michelangeli is not the greatest pianist.

[@fulviojommelli6193]

Grazie a questa registrazione decisi, ai tempi del conservatorio, di studiare questi tre splendidi poemi pianistici in struttura di sonata. ABM li eseguiva in una maniera cristallina, equilibrata, senza virtuosismi circensi, facendo quindi apparire il primo e il terzo movimento non più ardui di come lo sono già. Posso dunque crederci che Michelangeli è il massimo modello di riferimento nella didattica pianistica.

È sempre bello vedere le storie di persone che sono state ispirate da i più grandi geni della musica che possiamo sentire (in questo caso Ravel e Michelangeli).

Une fois encore Vous nous avez émerveillés par cette interprétation remarquable. Nous devons imaginer que quelle que soit la partition,elle semble imprégnée et gravée dans son cerveau et qu'il l'observe attentivement. Surprenant car il s'agit de la première image de AB Michelangeli face à une partition mais peut-être au cours d'une répétition Merci pour cette nouvelle richesse.

[@anthonyperaino2763]

Total pianistic magic! So fluid; a gossamer sound, so right for this extraordinary music!

[@michelangelomulieri5134]

I attended this unforgettable musical experience as ABM's concerts could not be defined orthodoxically "concerts". They were not journeys in search of fan worship but, on the contrary, in search of spirituality, contact with mystery and the divine through music. Feelings that nobody was able to arouse like ABM.

[@seanmarshall7529]

Never never NEVER diefy a man... Michelangeli was not in his right sences, as Gould Michelangeli has a woody unbendable character.. Doyen... is human

[@germanchris4440]

@@seanmarshall7529 I completely agree with part one of this statement. But Michelangeli was by no means out of his senses (or mind), but completely devoted to what he was doing in order to be as worthy of it as possible. Michelangeli's devotion was in the way the saved believer should be devoted in his walk to the Lord Jesus Christ. Entirely, as a living sacrifice of himself. What man can do, based on his endowment, comes from God. God is to be given the glory, but the artist is still to be acknowledged and admired. It is the same with the great composers and, in general, all empowered people.

Thank you very much for sharing sansom François en michelangeli both played in different ways But both were very good pianists thank you very much so beautiful :) merci

[@alexandervolkov89291]

Michelangeli shows here that he better would have chosen the gigolo path instead of pianist. It is an absolute disgrace and is completely anti pianistically. AI can reproduce a better version than this. And I have friends that can play it waaaay more better that this pathetic version.

[@notaire2]

Faszinierende live Interpretation dieses impressionistischen Meisterwerks im idealen Tempo mit glänzenden Töne des Klaviers und sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Bestimmt eine der zehn besten Aufführungen dieses Werks im 20. Jahrhundert!

[@spokur9]

Was ist denn das "ideale Tempo" - wenn es - wie in diesem Werk - einem ständigen Wechsel unterworfen ist? Und dass "Töne des Klaviers glänzen" können, wer hätte das gedacht?!

[@uliwidmaier5192]

@@spokur9Ideal tempo? In a good way Michelangeli, with his "ideal tempo," messed up Gaspard for me. For example, that relatively slow beginning with that relentless and totally crisp oscillating figure - now I find everybody else a bit mushy and imprecise, and trying to be virtuosic while missing the point of the music. I cannot "unhear" it.

Basta sentire certe interpretazioni odierne, goffe, gonfiate, col fiato corto, che paiono un'arrampicata: improponibili di fronte a capolavori netti e cristallini, radiografanti, come questa straordinaria interpretazione...

Not sure why Scarbo is so loud and harsh in many places, when Ravel specifically wrote pp everywhere.

french text which is articulated by italian diction.

[@ericastier1646]

most accurate comment. I also feel that he is pronouncing a french text with Italian diction and articulation and i don't think this is what Ravel intended. This is an impressionistic piece, not a 17th century classic composition yet he is playing it in a strict metronome which is an extreme limitation to this piece. All the magic of the piece is completely gone.
