Ok, there are few wrong keys in Bernstein's... but the interpretation is so fabulous. Helene Grimaud's interpretation is perfect, very precise and technical but maybe lacks the crazyness of Bernstein.
Great performance. I must say, though, that Martha owns this piece -- and especially this movement. There's a free-flowing and natural musicality that pours out of her fingers that is hard to resist. Grimaud renders a convincing interpretation as well though!
@mmoynan After your compliments, then why Argerich still 'owns' this piece? Why can't Grimaud owns this piece as well? I never think two interpretations could be compared 'objectively', i.e. who is better, from some 'parameters' like technique, touch, etc. Subjectively, I'd say both interpretations are indeed pinnacles.
@mackbox123 There's a certain je ne said quoi to Argerich's interpretation that I really like. Grimaud's is fine, but it doesn't make me sit up straight. :) It's all objective though -- you may hate Martha, and love Helene! :)
C'est frais, c'est vivant, c'est sonore, c'est rythmé, et c'est Ravel!...L'orchestre est parfait, et Hélène magnifique de vie et de pétillance.
Un immense moment de bonheur!...

Argerich is a bit more emotional than this lady. I can feel it anyway.

@duffault05 i couldn't have put it better! it's the crazy element that makes bernstein's interpretation the greatest...

Search for Bernstein playing the same piece and directing the orchestra at the same time...
