@StephenChin1 No, this tempo is just correct, very slow performance is a misunderstanding of this piece. It seems to be an elegy for a dead girl but in fact it's a particular stylization of the old dance: Ravel described it as "an evocation of a pavane that a little princess might, in former times, have danced at the Spanish court". He himself complained that the performances were too slow and mentioned that it was called "Pavane for a Dead Princess", not "Dead Pavane for a Princess".

I really want to play this piece for my diploma! It's not the most technically challenging but so hard to play nicely.
-
Thanks to a Pixar animation I found out about this song, great song!
-
Almost the Best I've heard!!

True to the score, and beautifully ethereal.
Composers are not always the best judge of a tempo for their pieces, and frequently not the best interpreters. Angela plays it the way I want to hear it.

YourMagicOne, nice package. Great song (is Pavel living or deceased?) and image. For me, it is peaceful, mournful, just well done.

Hi. Thanks for this comment. But do you think you're in an appropiate position to be able to judge an artist like Hewitt in this way? To fast, to slow... that is subjective, only your taste about the performed piece of music. Of course, only my option. Thanks again for your comment
