Yes and the conductor's gesture is not clear at all

@@andreaguarino8207 its like this most of the time

Her ex- husband.

She is the world’s treasure.

@@robertjason6885 haaaaa ok

Yes, there is no doubt she knows the tapestry of this work by heart, she can probably hear the cadenzas and rhythms almost in her sleep...having played it continuously for all of her professional life - and she does it with complete mastery! Still a difficult work to play, not least for the orchestra. There's a beautiful video of her playing the languid slow movement in Paris a couple of years ago, with the orchestra conducted by Emmanuel Krivine. Her playing is adorable and the music seems to be about the slow passage of time and memory, in an almost Proustian sense - it's especially easy to see it that way for all those of us who have listened to her for decades and can remember early photos and record ccovers of her with that glowing black mane of hair, now turned silvery grey... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMuljMdp09LYcqM.html

I’m having trouble understanding... is she talking about musicians who died over the years in general or did something specific happen? Could you please explain🥲

@@user-xx1yl9ze1v well, they are not the youngest anymore and their friends might have been older than them. So I guess the former, but not sure of course.

😂😂😂

Thank you for a wonderful comment.

Argerich and Dutoit performed at Teatro Colón a couple of weeks ago. It was gorgeous!

Lmao

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was wild - the pressure!

Love this comment

Where are the the English sub titles?

Yes. Michelangeli is gone

Why do you think it's uncomfortably honest?

@@florestan8333 It was sad when Argerich said that everyone they used to know in town was dead

Dutoit and Argerich were married?

@@Ale-qf1pm well, yes.

5:57 was a pretty hilarious reference to their divorce lol

haha yeah, everyone hates USA

I guess she’s not too fond of the place

@@AaronAlterman Neither is anyone else who has lived there ever

love how folks take a 2 second reaction and project their own sentiments onto the matter. Nobody knows what the hell she was reacting to...disappointment that he was going to be traveling out of the country? off the continent? to the USA? as far away as California? or a number of other possibilities that could easily have absolutely nothing to do with anything specific to "Los Angeles." Geez.

@@pineapple7024 - get a load of pineapple brain...now he speaks for everybody whose ever live there, lol. Clown.

I was lucky to hear her in Paris several times and it is something to remember. 👍

Next week in Europe. Tickets sold out though...

It was early in the morning... And I doubt she likes to get up at 06:00... :)

Corrected, thanks!

She’s a polyglot!

A polyglot, indeed! She’s Argentine, so Spanish-speaking, but brought her children up in French. She also speaks English, German, Italian and Portuguese.

In fact, she lives in Genève, Switzerland

And ironically, his most known and famous piece is Bolero, which is as simple as it gets.

@@ccanaves Right. I had heard that the Bolero composition might have been an early stage manifestation of Ravel's affliction with Aphasia/Apraxia, perhaps explaining its simplicity.

@@jwilliams8210 he kinda meant it as a joke tho

⁠​⁠@@jwilliams8210 It’s not, it’s just a composing exercise. This concerto was published 2-3 years after Bolero as well as his concerto for the left hand

@@pineapple7024 Hmmm... Possibly, you are correct, as evidence of this theory is a bit 'sus' (as today's kids say). However, these references: 1)"Alajouanine Th. Aphasia and artistic realization. Brain. 1948" and 2)"Kerner D. Ravels Tod. München Med Wochen. 1975", although speculative, are where this theory likely emanates(i.e., I didn't just make it up). Ravel composed the two Piano Concerti more or less concurrently (1929-1931). Still, he set out to write "a" Piano Concerto as early as 1906 and experienced fits and starts before completing the two many years later. So it is possible he had earlier material to work from. My musical ear tells me, as great as the Piano Concerti are, they don't have the same lushness or depth of say La Valse(piano transc.), Gaspard De La Nuit, or Daphis Et Chloe, all earlier works. Bolero, while entertaining, is not in the same class as the other pieces mentioned IMO.

Belle complicité...

You’re right 😂 That was very French situation haha

As a percussionist, my initial response to his comment was, you pleb, I'm the percussionist, I study tempo and rhythm twice as much as you understand it.

@@SJ-zn6tu You not right.

@@onlinetheory5115 hahaha and you’re not wrong!!

@@onlinetheory5115 yeah but it usually helps to hear another perspective? Not that the percussionist should be blamed in the video.

Don't forget: the orchestra members aren't there on coincidence. Of course it can be stressful to be picked out especially as first chair. But in the end they're all high class musicians.

@@N.Hertha04 Oh, absolutely! And I have a huge amount of respect for them. I'm just keenly aware that, much as I love music, I could never do their job.

You just need to learn Bach two part and three part inventions on piano to learn the skill of listening to others while playing your parts. Trust me. It will train your spatial intelligence (right brain) and ears.

It's a skill that most people can learn. Trust me, once you have learned it, you will unlock alot of your musical potential, and playing well in an orchestra becomes something within your abilities and your enjoyment will reach another level. It happened to me.

I would LOVE to see them!
