Marguerite Long (1874-1966) plays Ravel Piano Concerto II Pde.F-Bronco Rec.1932

It was assumed that this recording was a conducted by the composer at very long time.
But a present common opinion actually conducted by the Bronco, attended there by Ravel, and advised.

  • Les valeurs d'une époque se retranscrivent dans les arts de cette époque. L'esprit du chapeau de Marguerite Long, ce chapeau dont on ne sait comment il tient, le tombé de sa veste, l'élégance, la distinction, l'infinie bonté de ce visage, de ses yeux, tout cela est dans la musique de cet enregistrement que l'on ne retrouvera plus. Michelangeli, Zimerman, Samson Francois, Pierre Sancan, ont fait autre chose, mais l'esprit n'est plus le même. On ne baigne jamais deux fois dans le même fleuve.

  • How precious to have this recording of the great Marguerite Long. She was chosen by Ravel himself to premiere this concerto, after his illness made it impossible for him to play the piano part in public. He dedicated the score to her. According to Wikipedia, Ravel may have supervised this recording, or even conducted the orchestra.

  • Hors du temps!!!

  • timeless!

  • Who is at the baton? Ravel himself?

  • I loved her playing this work as a boy, on a 33rpm. What a great performance and phrasing!

  • What beautiful memories her performance of Ravel's Concert brings to me. I have an old 33rpm of this work. I would listen to it over and over. How gentile and admirable is her phrasing!
