smithsherman; I do understand Russian and will reply to you privately. I use English because it's mostly English speaking forum. I do not prefer "big scene" and I hate to waste my time confronting trolls and spammers. Bat again, I knew Richter personally and feel obliged to defend his name, even though it's not needed.

smithsheramn; I have a very detailed reply for you in Russian, but both your comment area and private messaging are blocked. Please let me know how and if you wish to receive it.
playing really well ... ( 7 months ago by luidbros)
playing really well is, for good or for bad, not just a mechanical skill. if it were, just put the score to some midi programs and it is alright : )
I must say that I ... ( 6 months ago by Heliosporites)
I must say that I find Paul Crossley's interpretation of Ravel's music more sensitive and emotionally satisfying.

You are saying it ... ( 5 months ago by martinkoklingacik)
You are saying it like you understand everything ! I can just smile upon you. If he decided to play it faster who cares?!?! It was his decision and it seems that he liked it so he played it like it. It is never a mistake to play a piece faster or slower. The original version still remains!!!!! And sometimes it is very interesting to listen to it or to listen other modifications or styles of play of the same composition. That was all I wanted and next time express yourself better. Have a nice day
E. Rogert Schmitz ... ( 5 months ago by phoxee)
E. Rogert Schmitz was (1899-1945) a distinguished pianist, writer and teacher, and a good friend to Claude Debussy and is condidered to be the foremost expert on Debussy's music. His production company brought tha music of the modern composers to the U.S. including Ravel, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich, to name just a few. He spent his life writing, performing, teaching and promoting the love of his life, modern music. Hardly a debutante.

Very beautiful performance, however, I find it really very energetic for "Water games" (Jeux d'eau)

420 is pure hapiness; however, this video is 4:20 long, it also is pure hapiness to me!
It's ok but too ... ( 3 months ago by Pavlvs34)
It's ok but too fast - metronome marking says quaver = 144 (the first 4 notes played in R.H are semiquavers - just so you know the time scale). This guy must be taking it at crotchet = 144!
You should read a book called "Ravel according to Ravel", it's full of interviews with Vlado Perlemuter (he was one of the Apaches - group of musicians/ artists Ravel was part of - i think). He studied with Ravel, and said "He wanted the opening not too fast, but not dragging."

IT
´S ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS GREAT POEM,HE REALLY UNDERSTOOD THIS SO LIRYCAL MUSIC. I love Monique Haas, Cortot, Perlemuter, Giesiking and many others too.

the same schmitz that wrote piano music of claude debussy? love that book.
i never heard it ... ( 3 months ago by ownage1810)
i never heard it this fast, usually that would turn me off in most pieces, but here the piece glimmers and sparkles like drops of water against sunlight or something. beautiful.
Dear Pav,,,You're ... ( 3 months ago by STYLusPHANTasticus)
Dear Pav,,,You're lost in conservatory school thinking.Music has nothing to do with a score.
That's just technical idolatry.
I AWARD THIS 5 ... ( 3 months ago by STYLusPHANTasticus)
I AWARD THIS 5 GRYPHONS....This performance owns a beautifully evocative and insane blend of disparate spirit-energies...which lend it an evocative power that is utterly and profoundly eerie and macabre...but still personal...in a queer way.
Oh God...why don't ... ( 2 months ago by anaklasis)
Oh God...why don't listen music instead of give those freakin' awards?
What on earth are ... ( 2 months ago by Pavlvs34)
What on earth are you on about "macabre", "eerie", "spirit energies"??? Ravel wrote this piece because he was inspired by a painting that ont of the Apaches painted of a waterfall - he wasn't inspired by a graveyard!!! This piece is a miniature about water in a fountain, hence why he called it "Jeux d'eau" (literally, playing water) as opposed to "Once upon a time, there was a graveyard..."
i think he's one of ... ( 2 months ago by ownage1810)
i think he's one of those psuedo-intellectuals that roam youtube. you know, like smithsherman or shineshocker. really annoying though mildly amusing at how they attempt to inflate weak ideas with verbosity. sometimes, what they say sounds so much like they're grasping at an air intelligence, i laugh my ass off.

THANKYOU!
Well said.
I agree he's a bit ... ( 1 month ago by bisbigliandosciolto)
I agree he's a bit of a w..ker. 'This performance owns...' is just psychobabble. However, there ARE dark & disturbing undercurrents in this piece that look directly forward to Ondine (1.39 onwards, marked in the score as 'chant')and it detracts from Ravel's genius to insist the whole piece is purely visual.
maybe i'm an idiot; ... ( 2 days ago by ibclappin)
maybe i'm an idiot; but after listening to this piece performed by 6 different great pianists, very many times each, and enjoying it every single time, to me this performance does not ruin any phrases and delivers them with masterful technique and a, should i say, 'expected' deliverance, as if from a dream about the perfect performance of this historical piece.
