@haakonsb -Rubinstein is correct about Ravel's orchestrating abilities. Gershwin himself had asked Ravel to orchestrate one of his works.Ravel thinking so highly of the work as it was -that he told him that it need not be tampered with. Point was that Gershwin thought so highly of Ravel's orchestrating ability.

In the beginning, I notice some of stravinsky's work... :)

From what I have read, Ravel got most his insperation from Mozart and Saint-Saens more lightgarted and ellegant pano concerto opposed to the heavy romntic ones like, Rachmaninov,Grieg and Brahms. The seccond movent is inspired by a mozart clarinet quintet 2mvnt, and in an interview with Artur Rubenstein,Rubinstein saies that Ravel loved Saint-Saens piano concertos, and thath he tought that He was one of the finest orchestrator to ever live, not small words from a guy today considered in the top

@Pavlvs34 That's right. I forgot about Jeux D'eaux.
It's funny how this concerto is one big amalgam of influences. You can hear the virtuosity of Liszt, the clarity of Mozart, the jazz-style of Gershwin, while altogether remaining solely Ravel's. Thanks for posting!

Every note, every nuance is exactly in place. The perfection of his playing is the excitement. The conductor and orchestra were exactly correct. This is a legendary performance.
