Maurice Ravel: "Le Tombeau de Couperin" with Paavo Järvi | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra

[@Scriabin_fan]

My goodness this was such a wonderful performance. And Ravel is such a genius of orchestration.

[@thierrychango7268]

Thanks to all musicians, and conductor...this IS one of my favorite work from Ravel, and that orchestration IS near perfection. I listen Zoltan Kocsis version hundred of Times , thinking it was the ultimate one...your version moves me a lot, and i can feel Ravel spirit in every single note . A masterpiece ! ❤

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you ever so much, @thierrychango7268! It's a pleasure! What a wonderful piece and it was a gresat concert. Stay tuned for more magical moments @ndrklassik.

Jarvi is a wizard... He and ravel go marvelously together.

Beautiful performance! The 1rst Oboe is excellent 👏👏👏👏

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you so much! And we absolutely agree on the oboe: Kudos to our wonderful solo oboist Kalev Kuljus! 🤩

[@gfp38]

I absolutely love this. There's so much joy and love and you can see it in the musician's faces.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you 😊😊😊

Une interprétation éblouissante, tout en finesse, rondeur, éclats, retenue et contrastes. Orchestration fabuleuse dans le moindre détail. Enthousiasme du chef et des musiciens devant la perfection de la musique française. Un délice !

[@NDRKlassik]

Merci beaucoup!!

[@marcelouz1]

Wonderfull! suite from Maurice Ravel based in the baroque French style, but beautifully orchestrated with the magic hand of Ravel . Really I've never heard it before until now , it makes me to remember "Pavane pour une infante défunte" ,Great interpretation of NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester and Paavo Järvi , just perfect !.....

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much, it is a great pleasure to receive such appreciative comments 🤗

[@Composer_DanielPerez]

This was a beautiful performance of the entire suite. Ravel was a master at orchestration and it was duplicated here perfectly.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you! Much appreciated. :)

[@dominiquemartin9237]

Ravel le magicien l ensorcelleur n a jamais été aussi bien servi que par cet orchestre merveilleux en finesse et virtuosité merci P Jarvi de ce moment de bonheur et bravo au Hautbois solo à tous les vents et cordes

[@NDRKlassik]

Merci beaucoup! Le merveilleux hautbois solo est joué par Kalev Kuljus :)

What a truly magnificent performance! It brought out the true brilliance of Maurice Ravel. Outstanding acoustics! Vielen Dank!

[@NDRKlassik]

Vielen Dank Ihnen! It's our pleasure :)

[@hautbois123]

This is the finest performance of le tombeau i've ever heard by a landslide. The orchestra actually captured the watercolor feeling of the solo piano original somehow, beyond fantastic

[@NDRKlassik]

Wow, love that!! Thank you, much appreciated!

[@dominiquemartin9237]

quel enthousiasme des musiciens qui servent merveilleusement Ravel ! quelle virtuosité des bois particulièrement le hautbois bien sur mais également la clarinette et les 2 flutistes bref tous ces artistes sont super excellents merci

[@NDRKlassik]

Merci, nous sommes très heureux 😊😊😊

Beautiful performance. I love how this hall sounds too!

[@NDRKlassik]

Yes! Even empty ... Thank you for commenting, thanks for being with us!

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

C'est si bon ! Ravel aurait être tellement heureux. Chapeau, Maestro Jarvi et Elbe Philharmonie sont super ! Le première oboist est magnifique !

[@NDRKlassik]

Merci beaucoup 😍

[@poetryonplastic]

This is such a balanced and refined performance!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you!! We love it too! :))

[@H5691j]

The piano version has 6 parts, the last part played by the orchestra was Rigadoun, am I mistaken? The performances were breathtakingly great, especially at that tempo!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you! You are quite right, @H5691j, the 6 movements are: Prélude, Fugue, Forlane, Rigaudon, Menuet and Toccata. For his orchestral version, created in 1919, Ravel omitted the two movements, Fugue and Toccata, which had a strong piano focus, and rearranged the order so that the Rigaudon was the effective finale. Of course, the orchestral version also opens with the prelude. I. Prelude 0:03 II. Forlane 3:30 III. Menuet 9:25 IV. Rigaudon 14:15 Stay tuned for more! #NDRElbphilharmonieOrchester #PaavoJaervi #Ravel

[@H5691j]

@@NDRKlassik Thank you for your response, very interesting how Ravel arranged the orchestral part. I love Ravel, he is a Hero and a Patriot having served France as an ambulance driver in WWI. He didn’t have to enlist and though advised by friends not to, his strong patriotism compelled him to do it anyway. No doubt he saw many horrors people shouldn’t have to see. I’ve always thought this was reflected in certain pieces especially LaValse. Thank you again, Chris

[@soozb15]

​​@@NDRKlassik The missing two movements were beautifully orchestrated by pianist/conductor/composer Zoltán Kocsis. It's been uploaded to KZbin, and is definitely worth checking out.

[@이종린-c8q]

Good! I've never seen before like Paavo Järvi. I respect him. Thank you for playing this piece again.

Thank you. We are very pleased that you like our recording conducted by Paavo Järvi so much. 😊

[@sussygussy1138]

Great performance, but has the video speed been increased at all? idk everyone seems to be moving weirdly fast

[@NDRKlassik]

Mhh, it certainly hasn't been increased by us - maybe it is something in your settings?

[@sussygussy1138]

I don’t know, it sounds right but looks like everyone’s in a high frame rate silent film. My playback speed is normal

[@NDRKlassik]

Hmmm, not sure what it is you are experiencing! Maybe that's just how it appears to your eyes? It is a rather fast pace they go here, but nothing has been altered in the video.

"Les petites notes , dans toute cette Suite, doivent être attaquées dir le temps" ( M.Ravel)...so "the grace notes in this whole Suite must be executed in the beat..". Sorry , but this and most of dynamic and articulations are completely ....unknown ...ignored ???? Repecting that , we could hear a very different , richer music

Opening miles too fast. It ends up sounding like an incoherent mush, but it is meant to be full of clarity and elegance. Luckily Jaarvi slows it down after realising he started it at an impossible pace. Fantastic piece of music

[@Dylonely_9274]

[@MrYellowfinch]

But it sounds like rush hour! A slower tempo and more nuance is needed, I think the players know this also, quality players driven on by manic conductor.
