Would have loved the rubato to be more expressive, but as I recall, the collaborative instrumentalist wanted more consistent and dance-able rhythmic pulse.
No doube many performances of the same piece would have created the opportunity for many versions.
Very lovely indeed! Expressive, vivid, & technically wonderful ... I would encourage you to savor and caress the emotions even a bit more. Perhaps needs a bit more rubato for full expression during the more sultry phrases IMHO as a vocalist ... I think that's what Kubeface might be looking for. Enjoyed it immensely!
I know next to nothing about the flute nor do I know much about the guitar, but I found the guitar part very messy compared to the gorgeous flute performance you gave. And Ravel doesn't need that much rubato. The guy hated people tampering with his music.
Thankyou so much everyone.
You're very kind. THANKS!J.
