It is endlessly fascinating watching this piece being played as much as listening to it.

[@Dwchidwchi]

Mr. Bavouzet is simply an extraordinary musician, this is a most eloquent and convincing rendering.

[@chazrocket]

Definitely one of the best performances of the piece I’ve heard. I could hear all the little intricacies clearly

[@Rx-mn5fv]

Played with vigor and sensitivity. A treat to watch and enjoy.

Richard Yiengst Love those orchestra shots!

[@anonunknown7999]

5:38, this piece was 50 years ahead of its time

[@final1833]

That's why Ravel is among the most influential composers ever - at least in my humble opinion! :)

[@bertrandjacques6744]

The pianist sounds a bit tense at the beginning but soon gets into the transe that suits this music so well. The orchestra is just sublime and Ravel's orchestration masterpiece is revealed in this interpretation. Although I have Samson François's legendary interpretation in mind, this one is clearly worth listening to. Thank you to to musicians and thank you to the person who posted this recording.... :o)

[@PeterLunowPL]

I agree with you on all points and yes: Francois with Cluytens made the ultimate recording

[@thingiezz]

I can only imagine how it must be to play this opening as the soloist. The tension building by the orchestral intro, followed by multiple minutes of solo piano where you HAVE to deliver. You sit down and without any easing into it, you have to play this incredible piece of music, completely exposed in the middle of the stage, all eyes on you. Let's say that this is not something I envy in soloists hehe

[@christopherruthe2525]

This interpretation has hidden depths. The tension of wars menace. Outstanding, moving.

Побывала в другой эпохе... В другом мире... Величие классической музыки - озарение души!

[@1987ulise]

Great pianist, great Director, great Orchestra, and also great Cameras' Director. Following the orchestra with the score, we enjoyed double this Ravel's masterpiece. Thanks to all.

[@j.e.8442]

Exactly

[@rogerpowe1748]

one of the best interpretations of this great work l wish in the tutti climax of the fast central section, conductors would allow both competing themes to be given equal weight so often the second of the two themes is drowned out by the first

[@ericsnelten8722]

thank you Maurice !

[@andreamcanally6393]

I love this conductor! Am going to see if there is more of his work out there to enjoy.

[@ivancaragia9993]

Try Scriabin ‘s “Poem of Ecstasy” . Also BBC Proms. This is where he became one of my favorites

[@mulvavroop]

I think Ravel really wanted to lift off the top of your head. One of the truly Kantian 'sublime' works and still shocking This most liquid of composers, Ravel also found one of the greatest lyric passages of like foreverl

[@jekyllmd1]

Cuanta belleza, genial el pianista!

[@gilmarnogueira6165]

I love i love music classic born in the teatre

[@TheDukeOfZill]

Around2:44 is a jazz feeling ..sort of "Gershwin"..but still totally Ravel..

[@rogerpowe1748]

yes, Ravel was fascinated by the kind of jazz emerging during the 20s and this shews particularly both here and in the bolero

[@stynway59]

Had he not been cut down so early by his brain condition and the unsuccessful attempt at surgery to correct it, there would have been much more jazz and delicious experimentation in his legacy. That legacy stands proud as it is, of course

[@xavier9147]

Exactly. These kinds of cadenza can be found in the Bolero, but not in the "concerto en sol", the false twin. (The Bolero and the 2 contertos are the last great Ravel's works)

[@oscarcarlosbentivoglio3565]

transmisión exterior compleja para cualquier gran piianista diria que casi todos le escapan como perro a una tormenta genial salonen enorme director

[@sebastiantorres2542]

Que director Salonen. Excelso compositor también, su concierto para Cello sin desperdicio.

[@TheVaughan5]

Great concerto, Salonen however, is at times a bit languid compared to Kertesz on the Decca/London recording (1968) but a conductor who can match his talent is a rare find indeed.

[@UtsyoChakraborty]

Simply excellent

[@giulioodero5149]

17.00: tre linee musicali distinte, con sole cinque dita, autentico sortilegio.

[@annieahn7643]

Great!!

[@川口健太郎-l1b]

ゴダールの映画の冒頭。空に飛行機雲。左手のための協奏曲がぴったり。この局の冒頭は、シュトラウスのツァラとストラ。

[@ivonromero2230]

i 💙 you Music

[@GJYYNGII]

You do realize that the music was made by Ravel, and not by the uploader, right?

[@川口健太郎-l1b]

162分12秒からのピアノのカデンツァが左でだけのために書かれている。両手でも弾くのが大変。驚異的なピアノ書法。

[@raissaweeke]

stark!!!

[@川口健太郎-l1b]

ラフマニノフの協奏曲みたいなロマンティックな、低音が暗黒から響くようなピアノ。ラヴェルは自分ではピアノパートを弾けなかったらしい。研究成果なのだろう。

[@fabiopaterniti8027]

Grande esecuzione !

[@dadodias2817]

Collège RQ qui est là ?

[@川口健太郎-l1b]

9分28秒あたりからは、ボレロみたいになる

[@pmarq32]

Is it cheating when he uses his right hand on the piano for balance? ;-)

[@ivancaragia9993]

:))))) ..of course. He should be expelled from the proms immediately

[@川口健太郎-l1b]

11分11秒からは、後輩のミヨーの「屋根の上の雄牛」みたい

[@川口健太郎-l1b]

12分12秒からもボレロみたい

[@stefannyhuapaya4947]

[@paulybarr]

The piano playing is too tense and stabby, plus too much self-conscious rubato ( save it for your Chopin playing)- none of which suits Ravel's music. There are better performances on youtube.

[@ivancaragia9993]

And which one do you recommend?
