Martha Argerich: Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit (1. Ondine)

[wrigleyx]

wow..merde, c'est magnifique!

[lunchmind]

haunting yet humane (Never thought I would say "humane" about this piece). Ondine always reminds me of a graceful blue shark patroling just offshore at Race Pt. in Provincetown MA. around midnight.

Delicate, timeless and sublime.

What company makes this video?  Is it available for purchase?

[tomargerich66]

@jpruittj I'm afraid I don't know for sure...but I have looked on Amazon etc and couldn't find anything...sorry!

I think the climax at 3:30 has been chopped up. The recording makes teeny jumps.

[BixenteFabregas]

@RacketPro: a touch of humanity in this nearly blinding perfection...

Thank you so much for re-upload this ! Many recordings by Martha Argerich had been deleted from Youtube.
