Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr Concerto en Sol Majeur Ravel souhaitait d’abord appeler cette oeuvre « Divertissement » tant il y avait déployé une virtuosité dans l’écriture pianistique et dans l’écriture orchestrale qui semble joueuse. L’essentiel reste le fantastique scintillement de cette oeuvre qui exige un pianiste et un orchestre de très haut niveau. Ravel lui-même pensait jouer son concerto en sol. En fin de compte les deux mains allaient être celle de Madame Marguerite Long, le compositeur n’ayant pas les siennes assez exercées se contenta de la baguette de chef d’orchestre. Il faut saluer le magnifique adagio que Ravel affirma pourtant avoir écrit à grande peine, « deux mesures par deux mesures, en s’aidant du Quintette avec clarinette de Mozart ». Samson François, intuitif, toujours avec bonheur, apporte à la musique de Ravel une couleur très personnelle. L’orchestre dirigé par le fin ravélien qu’était Cluytens, a une part importante dans la réussite de cette gravure immortelle. Concerto pour la main gauche Ecrit pour le pianiste autrichien Paul Wittgenstein, qui avait été amputé du bras droit pendant la Première Guerre Mondiale, ce concerto est une oeuvre d’une rare puissance expressive dont l’entrée du piano, d’une violence rageuse, péremptoire, est comme l’effigie. Samson François y est depuis plusieurs décennies insurpassé, par ce mélange de dramatisme tendu, d’amertume, de richesse incroyable des couleurs comme jetées nerveusement sur la toile orchestrale brisée par André Cluytens. A l’écoute de la cadence (partie solo), qui croirait qu’une seule main parcourt ainsi l'ensemble du clavier… Samson François has been for several decades unsurpassed in the Ravelian concertos. He possesses a pianistic technique that is in part non-academic. He is intuitive, always with happiness, by this mixture of tense drama, bitterness, incredible richness of colors as nervously thrown on the orchestral canvas painted by André Cluytens. The orchestra conducted by this fine Ravelian that was, has an important part in the success of this immortal engraving.

Ah, Ravel's G major piano concerto slow movement is one of the most divine things he ever wrote. Beautiful, tender, soft-spoken, comforting, wholesome. 🥰

c'est évident c'est la pure vérité merci cher samson mon cœur est à vous

Yet again, a superbly remastered recording of perhaps one of the greatest interpreters of Ravel in the 20th Century. Thank you. You make the details of sonic recordings and reproduction come alive. We can now listen with new ears to details often lost before. Bravo!

This sound quality undoubtedly fits the magnificence of Ravel's audible universe!

Best interpretation I’ve ever heard

❤❤❤ Quel merveilleuse adagio, pour moi sans doute le plus beau de toute la musique du monde, 6o ans après l’avoir entendu pour la première fois il me met encore les larmes aux yeux!!! Et quel pianiste...... Ravel c’est Samson François et personne ne pourra jamais l’égaler....

Samson François reste inégalé...

Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieser beiden perfekt komponierten und technisch anspruchsvollen Konzerte mit klar artikuliertem Klang des unvergleichlichen Soloklaviers sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der intelligente und ebenso unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im relativ schnellen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch ziemlich hoch als eine Aufnahme von mehr als sechzig Jahren vor. Wundervoll und atemberaubend zugleich!

Revelatory pianist, conductor, orchestra. Audacious, quirky, charming oddly touching. The spirit of Ravel and France 🇫🇷.

If this is how you perceive France, what a compliment ! Yes, Ravel est très français but beauty when it reaches those heights is given to all of us…

Century’s recording ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !

Ravel's musical score is elaborate and has exactly what he wants it to do. It's redundant for him to do something he didn't write about. I don't want Ravel to do that. He doesn't leave it up to the performers. That's why he taught his piano pieces to talented young people at the time. It seems that his well-techniqued performances of ``Febrier'', ``Elfe'', and ``Perlemutaire'' will serve as role models. If he did something unnecessary...for example, if he didn't write Ritalland, he would be severely scolded. However, even Ravel allowed the next two to play even if they did not play according to the score. Because he's a musician on a par with Ravel himself. They are "Margarit Ron" and "Alfred Cortot." I was very happy to have Ravel played at the concert. Now, that's the premise. Francois is a troubled music college student. An unfortunate music college student. It is clear to everyone that he is talented, and if he does well, he may become a great pianist. However, if a bad music teacher teaches him and he fails, he may become a graduate who cannot make a living from music. Capricious, moody, hates practicing, and has some technical problems. He became a big name because he learned from Cortot. A bad music teacher tries to correct his/her shortcomings. However, the disadvantages and advantages are similar. Thanks to Cortot's efforts, François' charming qualities blossomed. Technical problems can be improved with minimal effort in his etudes. Ravel's recordings of Francois have some problems in terms of performance technique, and a music college piano professor would want to give them lessons. He doesn't play according to the score, and he doesn't particularly follow the instructions for writing facial expressions. But, but, but... An attractive piano tone that makes you want to play it. The singing is so full that tears flow endlessly and grab the hearts of the listeners. It makes you look into a deep abyss with a demonic eeriness. People who do not have such fear in their hearts can imitate things, but cannot express themselves. It's not Ravel himself like Michelangeli shows us, but François himself (I wish he had drank alcohol...), but I can't forget it. Even Ravel in heaven is having fun, imagining that he will give up and say, ``I have no choice but to approve of your playing as well. (clicks his tongue) You must be one of Cortot's disciples, come closer...''

This is marvelous! Thanks for posting this!

Amazing ! "Left hand"'s vey first Contrabasses low , low phrase sound were unclear on original old-timer LP or CD , but this mastering are unbelievably clear ! François's Piano part are also so clear ! Well well done !

I am a sucker for Ravel

0:45 Super

I always think the influence of jazz on Ravel's later works is overstated; his style and method of composition were establlshed before WW1, and despite occasional interpolated bits of syncopation and orchestration, I do not think the piano concertos would sound much different if Ravel had never trawled Harlem with Gershwin. Neither their grandeur nor their languor are really compatible with 1920s syncopation. A work such as Milhaud's 'Creation du Monde', written much earlier, captures the hectic quality of small-group American jazz far more vividly, distlling it for the concert hall without draining its blood. That said, if anyone could bring out the extra charge new sounds gave Ravel in his final phase, it is Francois. He can handle the prestissimo passages bc of his expertise in Chopin and List, and as a fast-living aficionado of jazz he can swing it.

Wonderful ! Could somone tell me if, on youtube in 2021, there is a difference between 720p and 1080p vids in terms of sound quality ?

KZread audio quality playback is the same at any resolution, even 144p. Edit: Some sources suggest that peak audio quality begins only at 240p resolution, but anything above that is identical.

What the fuck, the bassoons at ravels piano concerto 3d movement are so clear

French bassoons

Selon moi, une version où l'interprétation a la même valeur que la composition.

No lo conozco

Ce n'est pas la meilleure version de ce concert. L'orchestre semble épuisé.

Interrompre le concerto pour la main gauche pour manger un Twix tenu de la main droite, faut le faire. J'arrête !
