[maxi937]

This must be one of the hardest movements in any piece ever written!

[maxi937]

Well deserved standing ovation

[JLFAN2009]

Ravel was a capable pianist; but he wanted to be remembered more as a composer. His preference was to have the virtuoso Ricard Vines premiere his piano works.

POWERFUL , MOMUMENTAL IN SOUND AND ELEGANCE IN WAYS OF PRODUCING SO MANY

DEEPLY RICH COLORS,. A STARTLING RAVEL I

HAD NEVER GUESSED EXISTED. But the visual

filming is ugly and insulting to such wonderful music.

[ffelegal]

my favorite part is 3'35'' ~ 4'11''. =)

Thanks to the anime Nodame Cantablie I know that is Scarbo is some sort of spirit, a pixie or a ghost maybe, that walks around at night when everybody is sleeping. This "knowledge" of the music is what interests me. To know the "history" before listening makes a great diference. Does anyone here know anything else about this piece?

There's very few videos of him =\. He could play Jeux d'eau too! That would be awesome!

TIP: listen him playing Scarlatti

[alkismavridis]

THIS pianist 's name will be written in history...

BRAVO!!!

Is this supposed to be humorous ?

[boombox10002]

@rigel48

reading your comments makes me want to hear gaspard played with a wiffle ball bat by someone wearing a clown mask. omg!!! what would ravel say???

[Jcc477]

I prefer Scarbo played by Pogorelich but this young man is amazing.

@hamelin288

It is well known that Ravel was not a great pianist, and it is also well known that Ravel did not want his works to be "interpreted" but just played as they are written !

I heard on the radio, many years ago, Ravel playing le Gibet. I just remember his tempo I found quite fast for a "très lent" marking.

[hamelin288]

@rigel48

There's an accent in both hands on this chord. But in any case, this is a type of piece where dynamic markings are to be interpreted, not religiously followed. There's a recording of (allegedly) Ravel playing Gibet. He certainly does not observe his own markings! (not even close)

[rigel48]

This is a good Scarbo. But it would be better if Ravel's dynamic markings were more respected. (The chord with the repeated D sharp at the beginning must be played pp and not ff !)
