  • How dare they cough?I would be honoured to suffocate for this miracle masked as a piece of music.

  • @zhangensprachen I'd say he's getting increasingly unhappy about the coughing and is trying to make them hold

  • ça dépend des goûts.....

  • @tuberobotto A high point of my life was on a Paris business trip when my SNECMA host talked about Ravel, I opined that only a French pianist played him perfectly (without mentioning Samson Francois by name). He replied that he used to turn pages for him, and kept him from falling off the bench, so I knew that we were talking of the same person - Francois was a notorious drunkard and doper, who died a few weeks after collapsing on stage. Listen to the Francois/Youtube Adagio.

  • @TheEntity91 Ravel worked intensely a full week polishing this movement, yet Charles Dutoit has called it 'elevator music'; Jean Yves Thibaudet in person with Paavo Jarvi and Cincinnati excelled, but the Thibaudet/Dotoit CD stinks. This Adagio is the movement I judge all pianists by, and can identify each of them. This one is good, but Helene Grimaud is better.

  • Michelangeli est un des plus grands pianistes. Son jeu est d'une pureté cristalline. L'extra terrestre du piano ! (entendu dans une émission de France Musique).

  • Beautiful beautiful beautiful and indefinable sad.

  • 今まで聴いた中で一番いいです。ユンデ・リもよかったけど。

  • Like Helene Grimaud's version better. More passion.

  • A human wrote this, a mere mortal like you and me wrote this immortal piece of beauty. I wonder what it meant to him.
