"I think this is the best version of Scarbo ever." I will agree, with the possible exception of Pogorelich's outstanding rendition. He hardly uses (any damper) pedal! And he 'colors' a bit more than Argerich (less pedal can 'do the trick' in THIS piece!). But her 'coloration' of "touches" in the repeated-note sections is near-impossible to bring off.

He did argue about the PLAYING by Vines, because VINES could NOT play the piece as Ravel had written it, he was angry about his interpretation of the piece. Hence, ipso facto, the piece requires interpretation. Additionally Vines himself made a career from premiering pieces, I very much doubt his technique to be in doubt

Scarbo has a harsh, alienating quality that suits modern sensibilities and Argerich brings that out, but when I listen to Pogorelich I hear an equal and opposite softer liquid quality too that he brings out without sacrificing the piece's harsh grating quality. Ravel was able to have it both ways, and Pogorelich plays it just right.
