It's been a while since I've been searching for a perfect version of Ravel's 'Ma mere l'oye' and I stumbled across Oslo Phil interpret this piece which will forever be the best version. The articulation, the expression- everything is just beyond words to describe how beautiful it is- so much so that it bought me to tears towards the end. The perfection of the movement 'Laideronnette, impératrice des Pagodes' is just MAGICAL and magnificent! Thank you tons Oslo Phil for creating this art a therapy, indeed.

Try Claudio Abbado's with the London Symphony Orchestra. There you can sense the glitter of the spring.

Magnificent 🥰

[@geneosis]

I have a soft spot for this piece and i agree with other commments, this version is really good!

[@sophiatalksmusic3588]

So excited to see the Oslo Phil interpret Ravel again!

[@jerrera45]

An absolutely magical performance. This has to be the best I have heard. Thank you to the wonderful orchestra and conductor. You have reminded an old man of the miracle of music and brought a tear to my eye.

[@jamesmillen9120]

I've heard a number of major symphonies perform this remarkable, moving composition by Ravel (both in person and recordings) -- but this incredible performance by the Oslo will have to stand as my favorite. Kudos to the members and to conductor Gaffigan!

[@wyrnavalenca2824]

Just here, listening to Ravel while rain falls outside ☁☁☁ loving it 💙💙💙

[@craigmclane5610]

Thanks to everyone in the orchestra, the hall, and among the recording engineers, both audio and video, for being brave enough to give us all the privilege of hearing and seeing an orchestra once more, in the midst of this pandemic. Kudos! And how wonderfully apropos the piece!

Thank you for helping the world.

[@MrsSedley]

What could possibly be to dislike about this exquisite performance? Who ARE those four disapprovers?

[@jeffsmith5787]

They have been... 'dealt with,' David. I assure you. 😐

[@ryohagitani892]

Thank you very much, the marvelous members. I fully enjoy Ravel's chef d'oeuvre.

[@jonathandoyle3481]

Absolutely magnificent!!! Every tempo perfect, every accent crisp and decisive - wonderful playing by all the solo parts, particularly English horn - hard to imagine a more thrilling performance of this other-worldly piece of music!!! Bravo indeed!!!!!

[@redjohn8870]

¡Hermoso! ¡Bravísimooooo! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@scuunjieng]

deeply appreciate this wonderful post. I am sorry I have never heard this live inspite of looking out for it. Really hope to be able to watch your orchestra live soon. I have had recordings from the Jansons era and you are a very special and versatile orchestra.

[@lucynazbikowska3343]

genialne wykonanie

[@jamesmillen9120]

So familiar with this enchanting Ravel composition. Have to say I thought the BSO recording was the best -- but this tremendous interpretation by a great symphony surpasses any others I"ve heard. It's the best version yet, IMO.

[@Dylonely42]

Brilliant.

Dicen que Ravel tuvo problemas, para la música, pero es tan hermoso todo lo que escucho.🌺♥️🌹

[@AnestheticsForAna]

I love this ballet but the constant interruption of commercials really ruins the listening experience

[@biancacastafiore8760]

dear youtube: i swear i’ll boycott every company and product you show me. how dare you interrupt the quietest, most ethereal parts with your loud, vulgar ads? have you no decency?

[@candismith4779]

Too many men!

[@ilaysadovski610]

there will never be too many men

[@barry441]

what a witless tuned-out comment to an utterly touching composition, and played in Oslo with exquisite tenderness. Blind prejudice.
