Ravel Piano Concerto In G Major Argerich Dutoit Orchestre National De France Frankfurt 9 9 1990

[De3T1nY]

come because of Nodame=]

[nakathefirst]

Mygod, I'm not the only one who came here because of Nodame.

[shillongorjiari]

tomoko ninomiya and megumi noda really helped in making magic wid classical baroque music making it really successful

[qoroq]

why do trumpet players always have to mess up -.-

[sukimiwa]

I came here because of "Nodame Cantabile: Paris", I really love it all: the anime (its creativity, its musics, its unic theme, and for been unique in its kind) and all this world of the Classical Music, and its own beauty betwen the differents kinds.

[ClarisseTeixeira10]

É uma maravilhosa peça .... dá vontade de sorrir =D

[NovaScotiaChick]

Today... having come back to this wonderful performance, I saw a glimpse of Ravel busy composing it during the 2nd movement.  Such emotion!

I think this is a wonderful performance... Martha's composure and beauty... her dress and the inimitable Charles Dutoit and the entire orchestra, it's all fab.

I don't listen to it critically and don't play an instrument. I just used to know automatically what note would come out of the piano's keys... that's all. :)

Oftentimes that's a good thing.

[NovaScotiaChick]

Many years ago when I was on the verge of making an enormous 'jump' in my life, during the weeks that led up to it, the second movement always completely dissipated any peace-wrecking thoughts I might have about my near future.

As a result it has always remained very special, but I also quite like the entire concerto, even though it is a little neoclassical in places - not something I'd reach out for, but I dig Ravel. :)

[MusicForever020898]

I love glissando(s)! Goose bumps! >.<

[NickjamesC]

2nd movement starts @ 8:57

[romino707]

I love how she just gets up immediately after finishing as if to say "and that's how it's done"

[krisoliv2]

fkgfkg,ja jgmbvvhcvcjvmcnvmnl 8]0000çb.5625/bmlbkln

[sukimiwa]

@krisoliv2 it MUST BE SARCASM, otherway it's a sin just by thinking that ÒÓ

[marian444]

Wpnderful!!!

[MrElicottero]

17:29 she bows her head, 17:32 she smiles, "am I the greatest or what?"

[NickjamesC]

@MrElicottero That's a nice thought but it's actually a smile because she messed up her trill and she was having a good attitude about it.

[MrElicottero]

@NickjamesC I don't think it rocked her confidence all that much. :-)

[NickjamesC]

@MrElicottero not one bit! mark of a great performer.

[Maroichi]

@NickjamesC I think she did a great ending, and she knew that.

[NickjamesC]

@Maroichi lol okay dude, listen first then watch her face and you'll hear the trill stumble several times around 17:15 and 17:20 followed by a couple different facial expressions showing brief frustration/concentration. That smile says something very far from, "I know I just did a great job on that trill," and she deserves major props for having a good attitude about it and then owning that 3rd movement.

[Maroichi]

@NickjamesC Perhaps I didn't speak well, because I'm not English,sorry, do not take it amiss. I was not considering how many notes she missed doing the trill (after all, who cares?I don't). I only think she had all the reasons to continue to be self-confident, at the very end, which is almost perfect and effective (she knows her stuff). Maybe you are right, or maybe are we both giving too much importance to her facial expressions? I hope I don't sound argumentative, I don't want to!

[chipncharge94]

uhm...... i think martha is danicing quiet well ^^

[pawdaw]

Hahaha the third movement....Dutoit starts.....Martha goes I'm sorry but THIS IS PRESTO.....

[cuteshox]

The third movement is the comic relief. The one being waited upon has given word that he or she will arrive, today or tomorrow. The excited lover scuttles about ordering all the servants and chambermaids to get the entire manor spic and span. In the moment of hurry, there were episodes when the kitchen staff were panicking and the pots and pans were boiling to the brim. Not far from there, the carriage is already a couple of miles away. Then when he arrives, everything is in order.

[adamjmcmillan]

@cuteshox haha what a lovely analogy!

[cuteshox]

The second movement is about anticipation and waiting and faith, that the one being waited upon will return. A little sadness, but there's always hope when one reminisces the joyful past. How refreshing.

[cuteshox]

I love how the first movement paints pictures of hidden canons in a field of daisies one bright spring morning. Ahhhhh.... it's too beautiful.

[aicha345]

the second part is so beautiful it hurts....

[claudiogoldman]

@aicha345 Indeed ! I always loved it... but it is so melancholic...

[wetuadjlv]

This is one of MA's 'specialties' isn't it? I can see why :)

[ihainecross]

gosh i love this piece <3333

[jobrorox1994]

Beautiful...

[ririm68]

Man, listening to this while reading Nodame Cantabile Chapter 122 is real fantastic!

Thanks for this great video. Now I've come to understand how beautiful chapter 122 is.

[LucifersPudding13]

@ririm68 Yup you can finally see why Nodame really wanted to play it and why she saw all those bunnies running around!

[ThePantacruel]

The Composer and the pianist were married and had a daughter together. Just so you understand all thoses smoldering emotions rolling between them^^

[ririm68]

@ThePantacruel

OMG is it true? Awwww so cute. Maybe, that why the pianist could produce such an amazing sound like this.

[Bluzme]

@ThePantacruel that's nice, still I think he wrote it mostly for himself.

It's very enchanting eitherway.

[upi95]

Ravel is just that guy.

[NovaScotiaChick]

The second movement... I discovered it on one of my father's records in 1983. I stayed with my parents the last few weeks before I was off on a major adventure to South Africa (with the intention to immigrate). I was on edge.

This movement put me at ease, and I played it virtually to death (listening to it on the headphones!)

So now I close my eyes and it still does exactly that.

[Jimbothenoob]

What a gorgeous second movement!

[corapiston]

Michel Cantin(cor/horn)　bravo!

[Chopin096]

what a lovely piano concerto ! :' )

[TheDavid0595]

the guy with the sunglasses is extremely distracting......too bad im too focused on the music to notice x)

[wowflutter]

8:52 The Adagio Assai: One of the most fantastic moments in the history of music.

[alexistpe]

16:50, the hardest moment ! Besides she doesn't look satisfied by her performance à 17:32. It's the proof that she's human !

[TaiMaiShu0k]

lolz. dude on the flute - virgin 4 lyfe

[TheDavid2222]

I wish Ravel had lived longer! He was really one of the greatest.

[MsVerlinden]

je n'apprecie pas les compo français mais là avec martha c'est autre chose c'est magnifique elle me reconcilie avec ravel

[moragapiano]

Somehow, I think that music is just an interpretation by the performer onto a specific piece. Think of a piece of paper. Every one is the same but different people draw or write differently on every piece of paper.

[moragapiano]

I listened to this piec a budded times and this one is the best

[moragapiano]

Haha

[mmoynan]

Phenomenal. I used to only listen to Martha, thinking that she was "all-that". Then I started to listen to others, and now I KNOW that she really is "all-that".

[noraa0517]

That piece so good!

... that a great orchestra! -

Ravel ♥

[phomar95]

Exciting just makes me pee in my pants!!! gooooooooo martha!!!!

[unpredictable1219]

God..it's fantastic

One of my favorites

[moragapiano]

Haha

[moragapiano]

I think that this is mart has best

[publicatucuento]

Martha Argerich tiene una cara de piedra, pero cómo toca!

[musicmushroom100]

Martha........... I don't now what to say

BRAVO

[musicmushroom100]

I don't know. Martha Argerich and Mitsuko Uchida have always been my all time favorites. I'm playing this piece for the CMC and I listen to her everyday

[wintceas]

Pure heaven begins at 9:02!!!

[mmbmbmbmb]

Vielen Dank fuer diese wunderbare Aufnahme!

Masterful composition

Masterfully conducted

Masterfully played

Masterfully photographed

And Martha Argerich - one of my most favorite pianists - powerful,

sensitive and pleasantly unpretentiously charming! ☆☆☆☆☆

[maternalheart66]

This movement reminds me of New Orleans Square in Disneyland haha, a bunch of jazzy tunes flying around with fireworks popping in the sky.

[fevimaster]

Anyone learn about this piece through Nodame? I did Xp Nodame-chan~ <333

[Nerupe0]

@fevimaster

Nodame Cantabile renewed my interest in classical music :3

[fevimaster]

@Nerupe0 I listened to mainly classical music the first 14 years of my life, and Nodame just gave me something to watch Xp (as well as motivate me to work on my own music related activities)

[yusukeundisolde]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!! 05:55 horn!!!!!!!!!

[cornidebussy]

MARTHA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OriginalBasaliskos]

The harp solo reminds me of Stravinsky.

[littlemisskittyminky]

I really believe in her.

[deby1392]

for some reason it slightly reminds of george gershwin's rhapsody in blue

[AphroditeEros33]

♡<3♡ Bravo! Prima! Tres Bien! really amazing & stunning performance*^o^* Echt toll und wirklich wunderschön!!! Die Alte Oper is such a beautiful concert hall as well. Vielen vielen vielen Dank für dieses großartige Video. Echt toll☆ ♡<3♡

[PENNSY671E]

Her performances are unexcelled. 

[petezilla]

wow to that trill at the end of mvt II

[xxgwyloxx]

My second favourite piano concerto

[artyzach]

Awesome performance. Like the glissandos at the start, and the 3rd movement. Brilliant work of music!

[Quezacotl77]

SEhr oober gut

[Chopinatic27]

How were you able to download the whole thing? I thought the limit was 10 minutes?

[eifionroberts]

I love this piece too @Maniaxpro, its so rock and roll! :)

[ngpiano72]

Amazing french horn solo at 06:00!

[SondheimFanatic1]

Brilliant! I don't care for the conductor...but still stunning! I know I shouldn't be talking because I couldn't do it any better...but...I just don't care for him.

[Babouloukoumkablam]

l'une des plus grandes preuves de la foi

[OboevsSaxophone]

hardly any emotion on the pianist :(

[meneltar]

@OboevsSaxophone maybe if you close your eyes and listen? music isn't theatre or dance, that's about sound, not faces and gestures

[LordCalvinHastings]

@meneltar And thank goodness for that. Martha's one of the few pianists today who aren't pretentious enough to make weird facial expressions to feign passion.

[iansquared3]

@LordCalvinHastings im a big martha argerich fan, but she definitly has her share of weird facial expressions: for instance, check out 2:26

[mmoynan]

@iansquared3 LOL Yes that's quite the face. But I wouldn't say it's trying to feign passion... it's just... weird. O_O

[MakisigPinoy]

@meneltar I think you need to take a back seat & listen to what you say as well. Are you sure music isn't theater and dance? Where would those two be without music... And the music isn't JUST SOUND. It's a myriad of sounds coupled together with the feelings and expressions brought forth by the movement and (sometimes gestures) of the pianist. Please, if you don't understand the piano and the composer/conductor's intentions and interpretations oft the music, don't make a comment like this.

[meneltar]

@MakisigPinoy Listen instead of doing dumb comments. Listen, listen, listen, liste.

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@MakisigPinoy There is a difference between physically conveying emotion when playing and theatrics! Theatrics don't add /anything/ to the music. This isn't theater, it's a concert! Weren't you watching? Look how she puts her head down at 17:27 and gives a great big smile! The slightest wince of the eye, the curl of the lip or cock of the head says a lot more about the emotion of the performer than pretentiously bouncing around. She feels it. She hears it before she plays it. You can tell.

[rlarldyd93]

@MakisigPinoy Agreed

[TheCloudThatHitMeOne]

@MakisigPinoy -_- what a dumb fuck you are...classical music is not about what you see it's about what you hear and feel...you dont know what real music is...tsk tsk tsk

[Musicman1720]

@OboevsSaxophone obvious troll is obvious

[SDCALL1]

@OboevsSaxophone That's just simply not true! I agree with all the comments below - LISTEN!!!!

[ChrisMagoo99]

@OboevsSaxophone you see only with your eyes

[Maniaxpro]

i love this piece it's so allegro

[4781d36]

Sounds good, yeah. Almost like Christmas music.

[Heathersama]

This is so... wonderful, splendid, magnificent! I love this piece!

[wbcred]

Brilliant piece - brilliant performance! Bravo!!

[kryacu29]

i love this piece

[soubi83kaname]

muy buen concierto!

[yuchunchiu]

Bravo~~I love this concerto and this version is the best I've ever seen. Argerich is so so so geart!

[klarinetta]

Oh man I will hear Lise de la Salle(who holds only 20 concertos per year) perform this with the Icelandic symphony next Thursday. Can't wait to hear this fantastic piece.

[piat20]

Wonderful marta....great remember to you at paris!!

[malma1]

Very Special

[aslanov]

Wow..

[justap20]

Martha Argerich z Mężem - Dyrygentem w Ravelu

[hostead4eva]

Bare sick man! x

[Ruchfun]

Wonderfull Martha!

From 6:30,wow! :D

[bluemonk82]

This is just amazing. Martha Argerich played wonderfully here. I'm not really a big fan of hers, but I felt she did an outstanding job with Ravel's composition.

I've heard about 7 different versions of this concerto and Dutoit's is one of my favorites as is Boulez and Krystian Zimerman's performance. Those who haven't heard Zimerman's performance are missing out.

[pianolover1004]

This is so remarkable!

I love all her performances so much.
