This guy owns this piece. Nobody plays it better in terms of technique, structure, sound, lyricism or sustained concentration.

Like Luke 1841, as a devotee of Martha, this is definately as good, if not better than Argerich, who in my opinion raised the standard with this piece when she recorded it. But lest we not forget, it was Argerich who walked out of the jury of the Chopin Competion when Pogo did not get through to the final round.

I never thought I would say this, but I may even like Pogorelich's version better than Argerich...and THAT is saying something. BRAVO!

I thought it was violinist Josef Szgetti whom Horowitz was visiting at his home and Horowitz played Scarbo on Szgettis piano.Pletnev could do it, but only if he isnt in a weird mood.I really like Pogorelich, please understand, on this piece.But Murray perahia plays Bach and Chopin superbly so he would probably do Ravel excellent also.He is a very versatile gifted pianist.

@789armstrong I do not know if Perahia or Volodos or Kissin could do better job than Argerich or Michelangeli in this work. My own regret is that there is no recording by Vladimir Horowitz. According to Clara Haskil who heard him playing Scarbo (in private), it was two devils face to face.

[789armstrong]

its been many years since I studied the score.Thank you for your excellent insights.I wish Murray Perahia would do all of Ravels piano music.Volodos could give dream performances but he is totally unpredictable, favoring boring music during the first hour of his recitals.

@789armstrong Please read Henriette Faure's book "Mon maître Maurice Ravel", where this pianist who studied Gaspard de la Nuit with Ravel himself gives lot of precious advices of how Ravel wanted his work to be played. I can assure you that Argerich is extremely faithful to Ravel's intentions, and Pogorelich quite off topic.
