fantastic. thanks.

[mazingerduke]

Cada vez me sorprende más Alicia...ese trémolo inicial es sencillamente perfecto.Todo lo que aterra a cualquier pianista lo hace ella con una naturalidad total.Admirable y prodigioso

[gabrieletomasello]

magnificent! A De Larrocha was a very very clever musician!

[troppofiato]

What was the camera person thinking??!! Focusing the camera mostly on everything and everybody EXCEPT the pianist, and then seldom on the hands!

[pianotonton]

Quelle beauté ! Voilà un jeu sans artifices, en prise directe avec le texte.

[Kiarinadia]

I have a vinyl record I found in a second hand store of the whole Gaspard, Valses nobles et sentimentales and Alborada del gracioso. Soon or later it will be put on CD I gess.

[dedelemusicien]

wonderfull;very very very good!!

[lovesGenet]

Always one of my favorite.Must find her recordings of Gaspard!

[gibetman]

does le gibet exist on video?  Also, is there a CD of all of gaspard with alicia?

[zummingsky]

omg! thanks for these wonderful videos.. any chance of watching "le gibet" too??

[pianopera]

This has great beauty and great clarity...the melodic lines are always shaped in a logical way...and even if she has to leave out a few notes (and doesn't play the glissando on black keys) because of the size of her hands, one can barely notice it. Superb playing!

[Noshirm]

I just thought of sending this to you! De Larrocha is fragrant and lovely in Faure, too. Incredible artist! For some strange technical reason, I am unable to listen past :33! :-(

[scriabin007]

she is a fantastic pianist...in all kind of music!

[sonicv3]

absolutely stunning

[manbrighton]

Please, please can you reload this clip? Or is it really only 34 seconds??? If it isn't I BEG you to repost it! Many thanks!

[bcnjd]

[TikiFury]

An ondine plays Ondine....

De que programa es este clip? se ve muy antiguo...

[Pischnaholic]

I too was privileged to hear Mme. Delarrocha perform Gaspard in Carnegie Hall sometime in the early seventies. I had only Michelangeli to compare it to then. Both artists seemed on a par to me in this work.

I also heard her play the Rachmaninoff III there. Nothing in the literature was beyond her.

I will never forget the marvel that she was. I am so sorry to learn that she has died. It's a shock, because I remember very well when New York awaited her much-heralded, long overdue debut.

Hay un problema en el segundo 34 de este video? Mi reproductor no pasa de ahí

[goobleglob]

oh my god, she passed? that's awful.... I loved her. absolutely loved her. RIP:(

[dbrainiak914]

Those kids are so lucky!!!

[soami2u]

Superb! I feel so lucky to have heard in person Mme. de Larrocha perform Ravel's masterpiece 25 years ago...one of several memorable recitals I heard her give over the years. She was a magnificent artist who can never be replaced.

[arturon111]

I was very lucky to have heard Alicia play Gaspard abour 20 years ago in NY, and most of all be a friend to her for more than 25 years,... the concerts, the person, the artist, was exceptional and irreplacable,.... she was the queen of all pianists,... how lucky i am to be have had her as part of my life. By the way her gaspard and Arrau's gaspard are the ultimate best interpretations of the piece.

[cvalde123]

@arturon111 I´m agree, i love Arrau´s interpretation of Gaspard.... and any Arrau's interpretation... he was a miracle!!

[oidoabsolut]

I did not beleive that I could feel so stongly about a video I am grateful that you uploaded this It reminds me that great art lives on above and beyond muchas gracias de verdad

[driemaaldrommels]

she will be missed! R.I.P

[jonjon71]

Farewell and thank you Madame De Larrocha. You made the world a better place.

[vocalpianist]
