yeah, the lighting is cool and she looks amazing. but by my taste, her technique is flawless and her interpretation exquisite. If anything, those other dudes are melodramatic while Valentina's expression is exquisite in its subtlety. Her touch is so light and soft: compare how she hits those low octaves compared to the 'old dudes' lol : much too loud and overly dramatic. This beautiful young woman has rendered the piece ethereal, weightless, and achingly beautiful.
Not bad, but a liitle fast and heavy-handed. It's missing a lot of the subltety of, say, Argerich's version, or Pogorelish's (which is truly awesome).
Many people seem to like Scarbo the most - but in my opinion Le Gibet is the most effective and intensive piece of Gaspard de la Nuit. It's such a grim and yet sad glance into something yet undiscovered.
I can play gardens in the rain, most of la valse, and part of une barque sur l'ocean....this piece, however, remains unplayable to me. The chords are absolutely mammoth, and played in quick succession they are incredibly complicated, especially to remember.... 1000000 thumbs up to Lisitsa.
@ktm64 this is a great comment. I have had the sheet music for 30 years. parts of it I can play but the giant chord progressions, OMG, how difficult.. I work on this, get frustrated, work on it, get frustrated, ...
@grampinator The secret is to not to try to play the chords until you know what they are, even if it takes you a full minute to read each one. If you play them correctly, even at one minute intervals, in the end you will remember them correctly and begin to speed up. Otherwise you just remember the same ham-fisted attempt to tackle the whole progression all in one go at sight and at speed like the natural intuitive genius nobody is.
Very apropos lighting, since the piece was written as a meditation on the silhouette of the remains of a man in gibet against the backdrop of a reddish sunset. Very well-played, as well.
i love that pedal tone. it seems so ethereal and outside of the piece its almost like an atmosphere instead of a note. i love it. beautiful piece by ravel.
Very surreal and cool.
At 2:43 and 3:04 It totally reminds me "La vallée des cloches" from Ravel's "Miroirs".

Wow -- that is some fantastic lighting in the background there. A really great color!
But regardless, audio alone, it is also phenomenal. A more eerie turn from the previous piece -- maybe foreshadowing the Scarbo?

What a wonderful interpretation. You've really captured what Ravel meant with this piece, in my opinion.
erikashubby 1 year ago
She's playing in the dark.
I wouldn't be surprised to see her play with closed eyes. Or handcuffed hands.
She's just so amazing.
