No one plays Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit better than Martha Argerich. This version in particular is outstanding.

Marta Agerich's musical capacities are beyond belief. Her Scarbo is just the most thrilling of all time. And you have no choice but to love her musical personality. She - like may artists - teaches us to love a person we have never met.

I had always considered Argerich's performances of Gaspard to be unrivaled until I heard her great friend Nelson Freire. There are at least two performances on KZfaq by him of this work, and they are no less fabulous than hers. My only regret is that one of his recordings suffers some audio distortion, but the fire and virtuosity come blazing through.

Martha Argerich's performance has such clarity and precision. She's such a consummate artist to her very fingertips that she opens new vistas to the listener, through her dynamics and technical control over the material here. Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit, after Bertrand's poems, is certainly one of the most difficult and demanding pieces ever written for piano. Ms. Argerich's performance here transcends the material and gives me great joy, when I listen to it.

@michelleong27627 жыл бұрын
It really depends on your skill level and whether or not you're ready for the piece technically and emotionally. Valentina Lisitsa took 3 days to learn the entire Gaspard. As an amateur I took over a year just for Ondine without touching le gibet and scarbo, nowhere near a pro's level of course (but then I just play for fun in my free time, I practiced about 1-2 hours a day. Lisitsa has said that she practices up to 12 hours a day!) . And even if you can play the notes themselves, you also need the emotional maturity and time to understand what you're playing, and to figure out a good interpretation of the piece that delivers the expression you want. Really difficult but not impossible to conquer one bar at a time.

Deep, dark mysterious music, appropriate to the dark mysterious writing of the inventor (always arguable no doubt) of the prose poem: Aloysius Bertrand (1807-1841-another poete maudit who died too young)) author of the strange collection of prose poems Gaspard de ls Nuit (published posthumously in 1842). The prose poems are available for free from the usual suspects.

I love Argerich's version - all three movements. But if you haven't heard Ivo Pogorelich's recording, you have not yet heard Scarbo! I'm a big Argerich fan and will usually go with her in just about anything (she plays), but I think she, herself, would say that Pogo OWNS Scarbo! If I remember correctly (I haven't listened to it in years), he uses NO (damper) PEDAL - which seems to aid greatly in delineating the score, and in 'pictorializing' the Imp in lucid, vivid coloration. [Not many - if any - pianists would try Scarbo without an 'active right foot.']
@rigel487 жыл бұрын
What do you find so exceptional in Pogorelich's Scarbo? At the very beginning the repeated notes must be "très fondu en trémolo". This is not the case with Pogorelich: they crackle like a submachine gun. And on the following pages many notes are not bonded enough according to the score. Of course this gives a greater clarity but was it Ravel's will ? It does not help for a mysterious and unreal atmosphere, a kind of hallucination. Also the big arpeggios which go from top to bottom of the keyboard crescendo and then go up to the top vanishing are not vanishing at all with Pogorelich. And I could point out other details where Pogorelich does not respect what Ravel wrote, even if his dynamique control his remarkable (his pianissimo trills!). The target in Scarbo is not to play as fast as possible, but to give an atmosphere of anguish and fear. Of course Pogorelich does that, but also many others (Gieseking, Michelangeli, Argerich, Grosvenor, Debargue, ...)
@manueladevilliers53015 жыл бұрын

Probably not available. But, you can buy her famous recording by Deutsche Grammophone, it is really an important reference recording, even if she was very unhappy about; she told in a documentary that she was then pregnant and played not the way she used to, and afterwards heard the master tape and was crying and found that I sounded like a pregnant housewife. In my opinion, she was then the most talented pregnant housewife of all times! LOL

Like many interpreters often MA plays Ondine a bit too fast. So the irregular tremolo played by the right hand which at the right speed call to mind the light sound of some water falling down from a fountain remains an ordinary filling tremolo according to me. To understand what I mean the better is to listen the outstanding rendition of Gaspard de la nuit by Samson Francois also on You Tube..
@whitbywv9 жыл бұрын
She plays it far better than most and her playing of the third movement Scarbo is pretty much the standard...As to the too fast, I cant see it, you could see the score online, the tempo is a ball breaker yes, but the piece is incredible fr its interpretation. I was a bit let down by Lisitsas performance, there are a few others out there, There isa GOOD recording of Argerich playing this on Deutsche Grammaphon
@Hervinbalfour9 жыл бұрын
whitbywv Perlemuter was one of Ravels students and he learned Gaspard (as well as all his works) directly from Ravel. He doesn't play it as fast and as a result you can hear more colors coming from his interpretation. Perlemuter has the best interpretation hands down as close to what the composer wanted.

+Christine Horand-Haberecht I think I prefer Argerich's version to the Benedetti. She makes every note sing, and few others accomplish that. This is especially startling because -- until I heard this performance -- I'd always assumed that Argerich didn't much care for Ravel's music. There's a really dreadful performance on youtube of one of her performance's of Jeux D'eau. (To be fair, there are other performances by her of the same piece that are really splendid.)
