Maurice Ravel - Piano Trio (1914) [w/ score]

[@davekenney1874]

This work is a typical reflection of Ravel's beautiful imagination and super sensitivity

[@XinhaoZheng]

And superior craftsmanship

[@steveegallo3384]

@@XinhaoZheng -- Yes....a superb Gem....breathtaking. BRAVI TUTTI from Acapulco!

[@Dylonely42]

Or rather his genius in his domain.

[@robertcohn8858]

The Beaux Arts Trio gives a sensitive and beautiful performance of one of Ravel's most delightful chamber works.

[@oudompianist5594]

Some otherworldly moments to make you fall in love with Ravel: 6:58 - an enchanting love spell 12:37 - tender fragrant chords 27:17 - a monstrous buildup to a colossal climax to the very end, along with jaw-dropping harmonic changes

[@UtsyoChakraborty]

A chamber masterpiece!

[@Dylonely42]

Indeed.

[@franckcoinchelin9862]

Qui a composé un trio aussi parfait ? personne.

[@Dylonely42]

In my opinion, this is one of the best chamber pieces of music ever composed.

[@bmjcomposer]

beautiful

[@SpaceMalakhi]

Magnificent, as usual with Ravel. However i would note that while the Beaux Arts Trio is excellent, i'd recommend also the recording with Renaud and Gautier Capuçon and Frank Braley. Beautiful album

[@steveegallo3384]

Outstanding.....BRAVI TUTTI.....from Mexico City!

[@user-gw7vv8jq4n]

The Capucon recording is absolutely stunning and I listen to it nearly daily recently, but I must say this recording on my first listen is equal if not surpasses it!

[@UtsyoChakraborty]

6:58 What bliss!

[@XinhaoZheng]

That is one of my favorite parts too!

[@uigliam]

Exact! A real spell... 😑✨

[@faustustuus3747]

Fantastic upload

[@bsdkflh]

lemme hit that subscribe button real quick. while I would dispute whether no other recording can match this one, it's jaw-dropping to say the least. what's the score? I mean I thought only the ol' tired Durand is available.

[@XinhaoZheng]

Thanks. The score's from Bärenreiter, ripped off from nkoda.

[@Kris9kris]

How does one rip off scores from nkoda and bypass the protection system? I'm asking strictly for research purposes of course 😇 @@XinhaoZheng

[@XinhaoZheng]

@@Kris9kris Usually, it would require a virtual machine or emulator in which nkoda runs in the guest OS, and you screenshot from the host OS.

[@KinkyLettuce]

something ive been curious to ask why do music-score youtubers often upload the same piece thats already on youtube?

[@terepluie5921]

It's mostly the case of better sheet music quality or better performance they prefer

[@user-yx5sj1vm4q]

In the case of this piece, the sound quality of the older upload is terrible. So very meaningful upload!

[@KinkyLettuce]

@@user-yx5sj1vm4q meaningful my ass. The score isnt even right 11:04 the score in this video shows piano is playing chords, with a triplet only on the first beat, but the actual score and recording has loads of triplet running through the entire section, is way richer than what written here fuck incorrect scores. Dont believe me? check yourself

[@KinkyLettuce]

@@user-yx5sj1vm4q meaningful my ass. The score is wrong

[@zaiahsaranow8754]

Awesome video! The recording seems to deviate slightly from the score around 11:04, is this an earlier version?

[@XinhaoZheng]

Glad you noticed! Yes, the Bärenreiter score I use is based on Ravel's manuscript and most recordings and score editions (for example, Henle) are based on the first published edition, which came later. Differences are mostly in the second movement, namely m.23-34 [2] and m.234 [22] where there is an additional beat of anticipation of the A ottava. You can compare it with the edition from IMSLP. Personally I think it's more reasonable to use a score based on the first edition, like Henle's, because such degree of alteration must have been authorized by the composer. I've thought about switching, but it's kind of too late since the video has got many views...

[@Dissonance333]

I feel like I can hear water.

[@chrisoconnor9521]

No denying the Beaux Arts Trio did a stellar job on this but I definitely prefer how Menuhim, Cassado and Kentner did it.

[@XinhaoZheng]

Their performance is incredible, but it's too old so the quality isn't good.

[@Examantel]

Appreciate the upload. It's technically well done, and the performance has rhythmic vitality others are lacking in. The tempo of some passages I'd do differently. Also the sound mixing is a bit unbalanced towards the piano.

[@Examantel]

@@nainposteur55 For your opinion? No one.

[@juwonnnnn]

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Makes me wonder if Ravel ever wrote a mediocre piece. Certainly not here.

cant believe no one points out the score being horribly wrong

[@manzoh2248]

I havent checked, but do u mean the chords/harmonies are wrong? The rhythms seem good from what i can tell

[@KinkyLettuce]

​@@manzoh224811:07 check the piano instead. The piano part part ISNT FUCKING BLOCK CHORDS HERE

[@KinkyLettuce]

​@@manzoh224811:04 i can guarantee those are NOT block chords

@@KinkyLettuce oh yeah wth that’s weird, maybe different editions feature some different rhythms, or maybe they’re playing something from an ossia or something (tbh i havent really listened to this piece before)
