I personally think the second movement of Ravel's concerto in G major is one of the most beautiful things musical arts have ever produced. The transition around 6:00 is a true human achievement.
This movement inspired one of Jacques Brel's most lyrical songs, "Les déserpérés", whose score was written by Gérard Jounannest, Brel's acompanist at the time. Check it out.
Just as the other comment said, this piece gives many orgasms to listeners. You expect this? I 'd like to play Bach's at my funeral. Of course playing for your parents is something comforting even thousand times. Hope you get better and better.
this piece has followed me from my youth into middle age. it's a little glimpse of heaven. every time. i can't imagine my life without it. thank you, sir.
Confession: I normally have no patience for slow second movements, but the adagio of Ravel's Piano Concerto is the only piece of music than has come close to making me cry.
El desolado inicio del piano en medio del silencio del resto de la orquesta es como un lamento del alma llena de tristeza, hasta que ese lamento es consolado por las voces delicadas de los más dulces instrumentos, e incluso de toda la orquesta, que con extrema compasión acompañan esa infinita soledad y dolor, que también llega a clamar contra la tragedia de su absurdo e infeliz destino, finalmente aceptado con el diálogo íntimo y paciente con el otro, que hace nacer la serena aceptación que ha de culminar, frágil y límpida, en el silencio... La experiencia de la muerte de quien más se ha querido pueda estar, quizás, aquí retratado.
The first time I heard it on the radio, I was walking and I stopped and stood still for the whole thing with tears rolling down my eyes. It's impossible to listen to it and believe that any other piece of music exists.
Beautiful performance by Helene Grimaud of course; no real surprise there given her clear affinity with this work and the deep sensitivity of her playing in general. An honorable mention must be given to the woodwind soloists as well, though, and especially the oboist who gave an absolutely exquisite performance here. Wonderful.
It's not an oboe, it's an English horn 😃 same family, but the English horn (cor anglais) is slightly different and used by composers for its dreamy sound
@@ariellealvarez-pereyre4723 Indeed, you're absolutely right in that it's a cor anglais, but cor anglais players are normally referred to as oboists in recognition of the fact that they invariably play both, and oboe more frequently, hence the label used. :)
@@simondurrant1 I just think it's a shame of depriving the player of their rightful title when they're playing cor anglais, especially when it is a solo, since so few people actually know the instrument. Also, some cor anglais players make a career out of it and that is their title in the orchestra. Maybe she's not an oboist... :)
Yes, often we violists too are identified as violinists, much to our chagrin, but viola is indeed essentially an alto violin and cor anglais / English horn an alto oboe 😀
I seriously cannot find any piece more beautiful than this... i've looked for years and this is seriously the most beautiful thing ever created... Someday i wish to play this with an orchestra
One of the best music of all times that I adore, adore and adore…. It tastes the heaven. Music is my life and this one my favourite of all…. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you go through any recording of this piece going back decades you will see truly the pianist is absolutely one with the music, you can almost see their memories and music in one fine thread
You really have to be in a certain place to be able to evoke such deep emotions. Helene shows the depth of her soul to be able to play with such beauty.
I've just been transported somewhere else for 10 minutes. It's not often one comes across a piece of music so profound that it can do that. And the emotion Helene Grimaud plays with. Just wow!
Ravel was a great creator of atmospheres, and Helene Grimaud is a pure angel flying over poetry just now... and Jurowsky is a new and serious required conductor. Bravo.
@pri038, mil gracias por compartir este movimiento del Concierto para Piano en Sol mayor de Maurice Ravel !!! El segundo movimiento de este Concierto para Piano de Maurice Ravel es uno de los más bellos, emotivos y exquisitos Adagios que jamás haya escuchado. En mi opinión este movimiento es como una plegaria en la que el alma se va desgarrando poco a poco y me estoy refiriendo particularmente a los pasajes que se escuchan a partir del minuto 5:30 en los que las progresiones armónicas generan tanto tensión como relajación de manera alternada... Bravo a la maravillosa pianista Hélène Grimaud, al Director Vladimir Jurowski y la Orquesta de Cámara de Europa. Hasta siempre.........
I saw Helene perform this piece in Los Angeles with the LA Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo dudamel in 2014. I have seen perhaps 100 LA Phil concerts in this venue, and this performance was the most moving to me -- I will never forget it. I simply love this piece and Helene's execution of it. Since then, I have watched this video about 20 times.
J'ai découvert cet adagio récemment, et m'étonne encore qu'il ne soit pas plus connu - quel chef-d'oeuvre! À la fois moderne et classique. Une interprétation sublime pour une oeuvre de la plus haute inspiration. Comme dit quelqu'un plus bas - c'est 'toucher au ciel' que d'entendre cela. Je l'ai écouté cent fois, je ne m'en lasse pas. La perfection.
After the hauntingly beautiful opening piano solo, the first-time listener might wonder how Ravel could possibly improve on such perfection. Then they hear the recapitulation, with the melody spun out elegiacally on the cor anglais with the delicate filigree embellishments on the keyboard, culminating in the long final trill on the piano over gently sighing phrases on the strings and they go "Oh..."
Un pur chef-d'oeuvre que cette magnifique musique aussi touchante que belle et que je ne me lasse pas d'écouter. En fait, c'est ma pièce de musique préférée!
Magnifique interprétation d Hélène grimaud bien sur .. Sa présence et sa sensibilité mais bien sur son talent font de cette œuvre une œuvre proche de la perfection absolue .. Merci pour votre générosité à tous . Cécile
Hélène Grimaud 2009 Ravel PC in G major, Vladimir Jurowski, Chamber Orchestra of Europe; Recorded at Cité de la musique, Paris, France on January 24th 2009
He oído muchas versiones, muchas, del concierto en Sol de Ravel y de este movimiento, famosísimo. Sin embargo, la interpretación de Grimaud al piano es conmovedora, de una delicadeza fuera de lo común. La orquesta recoge las piezas desprendidas de la fabulosa ejecución y las recubre de suave perfección. La cubre de luz. Enhorabuena.
The lady oboist was simply incredible. The dialogue she had going with Grimaud towards the end of the movement was simply breathtaking - so moving as to be tear-jerking.
The duet w/ the cor anglais and the piano that begins at 6:11 is my favorite part, but just about everything Ravel composed is great. my comment posted 07/14/2018
Underrated?? This is probably the greatest orchestrator and is so recognised and famous. Everybody admired Ravel. He is amongst the 5 more famous and talented composer. Ravel has never been underrated
@@stephanerigault5106 He is renouned and beloved, but he still hasn't achieved the ridiculous heights of fame of the likes of Mozart or Bach; but I think it can be argued that he would deserve to be reckoned up against those greats. Despite his very high rating, I think it can still be argued that he is nonetheless underrated.
Hoje, 14 de Janeiro de 2020, este belíssimo Concerto para Piano de Ravel completa 88 anos. Seu II movimento é considerado por um renomado professor português de Composição como: "o movimento lento mais lindo da história da música." O que nos deixa feliz é sabermos que por tamanha beleza e arrebatamento ele será eterno. Por sua imensurável importância só nos resta dizer: Feliz Aniversário!
La belleza esta en un momento, cualquier momento, en una historia, en una conversación, en un café tal vez. Esta en lo común y cuando logramos encontrarla y sostener todo lo que nos entrega, la vida se llena de instantes increibles. La belleza esta en Ravel, en su magia , en la emoción que mezclo en su mente y en sus dedos cuando escribió este adagio que con inconmensurable delicadeza nos deja volar por donde queramos.
It's the clarinet's entrance that does it for me and the way she looks up with such longing in her eyes. Utterly sublime. I think I may have listened to this piece over a hundred times and have yet to grow tired of it
Escuchar este hermoso adagio interpretado por Helene es como tocar el cielo con las manos... sublime y maravilloso!!!!!! Admiro su sentir apasionado, melancólico y dulce a la vez =) emociona y nos transporta a otro mundo!!!!
Helene. Wat heb je dit stuk toch prachtig gespeeld. Heb al eens vaker gereageerd hierop. Het blijft 1 van mijn favoriete stukken. Zo gevoelig en intens gespeeld. Klasse!
For me, this music is a journey to a magical realm or state of mind. The solo piano part is when you try to enter the realm, as if you are saying a password. Then, when the rest of the orchestra starts playing, you enter this magical world that you didn't know before. The world itself is made out of light and happiness but also out of sadness, sorrow and desperation. There are no humans in this world, it's only nature. It merely depicts the profound beauty of this nature on its own. Life comes and goes, it literally goes by; everything "just happens".
Happy birthday, Master Ravel ! prio038, I can't find the words to thank you enough or to describe my emotions every time I listen to this Adagio. 3:05 and 4:02 sheer ecstasy
There are no words for this piece of music. It takes me on a magic carpet ride every time I listen to it. It reminds me of my father God I wish I could talk to him right now.
8:36 reminds me of Ravel's Mother Goose pri038, I wish I could find the words to thank you enough for posting of the most touching scores of all time, Helene Grimaud plays this second movement of Ravel's G Major Piano Concerto exquisitely !
One of the most jazziest piece composed by Ravel in my opinion. Beautiful use of dissonance, tension, and key changes inspires myself to compose music.
I don't know what he intended but I get the sense that Ravel is expressing the essence of Aging, Compassionate Care and Death in this movement. The disjointed piano plods along like the elderly. The first time there is treble fibrillation, the accompaniment comes in like compassionate caregivers. Then there are happy flights of fantasy (Alzheimer's?) in the right hand of the pianist, like butterflies. Until it ends with the final fibrillation and peace.
Belle complicité entre la pianiste et le chef d'orchestre :-) qui doivent tous deux êtres en amour pour ce morceaux, merci pour ce partage, très émouvant
The Adagio assai of Ravel's Concerto in G is the sort of music I just couldn't live without. Thanks for this heartfelt performance, Pri038 P.S.: every time I listen to it I find it so hard to fight back my tears...
Such intense and sublime moments, Helene Grimaud is such an amazing performer and look at the beauty of their looks to each other, sentimental. I couldn't even imagine how one and only Ravel felt when writing this magnificent composition. When Classical Music and Jazz are together as in this incredible composition, the intensity of music captures all the emotions of humans can feel at one time. Music is our universal language and as great Oliver Sacks emphasized "One does not need to have any formal knowledge of music - nor, indeed, to be particularly "musical" - to enjoy music and to respond to it at the deepest levels. Music is part of being human, and there is no human culture in which it is not highly developed and esteemed." and "Music is part of being human". Let music conquer our lives friends. The life is more meaningful when you dedicate yourself to an art form. Peace.
Fills my heart . Que maravilla! Absolument sublime ! Amazing!!! Wonderfull! De toute beauté .. Absolutely émotive! Incredibly beautiful! une merveille musicale... etc...
Quelle profondeur, quelle intensité, quel mystère...Difficile de trouver les mots face aux évidences.. ce moment est une véritable cadeau parce qu'il est une communion entre des êtres qui laissent parler la beauté qu' il y a en chacun de nous,pour ma part cela me redonne confiance en l'humain et en la vie
J'écoutais cet adagio assai les larmes aux yeux , étant gamine de 12-13 ans, quand j'étais très triste et blessée.Cette melodie de l'oboe de la clarinette et de la flûte reflètait mes sentiments désespérés. Mais enfin quand le piano se met à perler les suites de notes claires ,il me semblait que l'espoir et la joie calme se soulève au-dessus de la tristesse.
This is wonderful. Ravel makes a beauty that is fragile, but somehow survives the undercurrents of dissonance, which for me makes his work more precious than that of many more expansive composers, and seems to encapsulate our stormy life on this planet. I do love the glory of Handel, and the spiritual serenity of Bach, but it’s Ravel who speaks most intimately to my heart.
Québec le 20 septembre 2014 Concerto en G...Maurice Ravel, une merveille musicale... Hélène Grimaud une interprète très sensible et très virtuose... Merci ! Mille ******************** Renaud
Ni Beethoven, ni Rach ni Tchaikovsky tienen en su catálogo una melodía tan dulce y emotiva como este adagio. De los pocos momentos que hasta pueden sacarte una lagrima de la emoción.
Uno de mis conciertos favoritos en donde uno puede "masticar" el lirismo que te llega a las profundidades del cuerpo o del alma , no se , donde se deposite esta música sublime.
03:35 is one of the most romantic moments in music, but listen to the entire piece. Its beyond magical, but that particular moment you can see in their faces.

this has been one of my favourite pieces from Ravel for years. And, hearing it again after quite a while, I friggin' started blubbering like a schoolgirl.......damn you Ravel!!!
My father would have have loved this piece he’s been dead for over 30 years and everyday I play this for him
I personally think the second movement of Ravel's concerto in G major is one of the most beautiful things musical arts have ever produced. The transition around 6:00 is a true human achievement.
This has been my favorite piece for a long time, but only now I noticed this moment around 6:00.. Thanks, I discovered this music again
This movement inspired one of Jacques Brel's most lyrical songs, "Les déserpérés", whose score was written by Gérard Jounannest, Brel's acompanist at the time. Check it out.
I agree 100%
I want this played at my funeral over and over again
Just as the other comment said, this piece gives many orgasms to listeners. You expect this? I 'd like to play Bach's at my funeral. Of course playing for your parents is something comforting even thousand times. Hope you get better and better.
People then will get tired of it et même refuseront d aller à votre enterrement
I play this everyday for my mom and dad who left this world along time ago
this piece has followed me from my youth into middle age. it's a little glimpse of heaven. every time. i can't imagine my life without it. thank you, sir.
I have exactly the same experience with this piece! A little glimpse of heaven, yes....
Well said, couldn't agree more.
I hear this theme every day, religiously
I've yet to meet the music lover who has heard this music just once and not become instantly and permanently enraptured with it
iPad version and will have ithe your pictures iand are your last week and the new update you are it you is it for i
Confession: I normally have no patience for slow second movements, but the adagio of Ravel's Piano Concerto is the only piece of music than has come close to making me cry.
Makes me cry almost every day

Sin duda, muy pocos en la historia se le podrían comparar!
Magnifique interprétation d’Hélène Grimaud.
Wang she piano
The first time I heard it on the radio, I was walking and I stopped and stood still for the whole thing with tears rolling down my eyes. It's impossible to listen to it and believe that any other piece of music exists.
Look at the musicians faces
Tears every single time i hear this.

I’d also praise the two flute & clarinet soloists.

I seriously cannot find any piece more beautiful than this... i've looked for years and this is seriously the most beautiful thing ever created... Someday i wish to play this with an orchestra
How about Barber & Albinoni's Adagio
What about Shostakovich - Piano Concerto No. 2: II. Andante
th-cam.com/video/JlMHjo7Jwhk/w-d-xo.html
This Piece sounds like being on depression and then overcoming it, step by step
I cannot listen to this without crying for my brother who walked out of my life in a moment when I was 13 years old god I long for him
One of the best music of all times that I adore, adore and adore…. It tastes the heaven. Music is my life and this one my favourite of all…. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sublime. Even the musicians seem amazed by the beauty of the music they are playing.
Pure truth
If you go through any recording of this piece going back decades you will see truly the pianist is absolutely one with the music, you can almost see their memories and music in one fine thread
Honestly one of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard.
You really have to be in a certain place to be able to evoke such deep emotions. Helene shows the depth of her soul to be able to play with such beauty.
3:03 - 4:02 One of the most touching moments in Music history
+Coronado Rey Wonderful moment. How can 34 morons not like. Their loss I suppose.
+mervyn gill i guess they don´t like this interpretation..
+Coronado Rey That's probably it.
Some people don't realize that EVERY INTERPRETATION IS DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL IN IT'S OWN WAY...
for me it's 6;10 when corno inglese! there the sun arrived !
My eyes got full of tears in this exact moment of the music.
I've just been transported somewhere else for 10 minutes. It's not often one comes across a piece of music so profound that it can do that. And the emotion Helene Grimaud plays with. Just wow!
Helene plays Adagio Assai so beautiful and sensitive. It feels like a pleasure to listen to here.
Ravel was a great creator of atmospheres, and Helene Grimaud is a pure angel flying over poetry just now... and Jurowsky is a new and serious required conductor. Bravo.
This music and the transcendental beauty of Helene are cosmic gifts.

Let's say not only to France. But for all of us.
It makes me think of my one and only true hero my dad god I miss you dad

The best edition I have ever heard!

La belleza esta en Ravel, en su magia , en la emoción que mezclo en su mente y en sus dedos cuando escribió este adagio que con inconmensurable delicadeza nos deja volar por donde queramos.
I have tears... this is sooo beautiful
I love how effortlessly she emotes. She LOVES being a musician and playing piano. Lovely....
No way to explain how the flute and the oboe sudden entrance bring me so much excitement!
Even there is no way to explain, I can understand because I feel exactly the same. It's magic!
It's the clarinet's entrance that does it for me and the way she looks up with such longing in her eyes. Utterly sublime. I think I may have listened to this piece over a hundred times and have yet to grow tired of it
Sam Bond same here. And I listened other interpretations of this piece of which alone Zimerman I can finish. But this one is heavenly
Escuchar este hermoso adagio interpretado por Helene es como tocar el cielo con las manos... sublime y maravilloso!!!!!! Admiro su sentir apasionado, melancólico y dulce a la vez =) emociona y nos transporta a otro mundo!!!!
she is the only woman that has ever make me cry!Thank you Helene
Helene. Wat heb je dit stuk toch prachtig gespeeld. Heb al eens vaker gereageerd hierop. Het blijft 1 van mijn favoriete stukken. Zo gevoelig en intens gespeeld. Klasse!
For me, this music is a journey to a magical realm or state of mind. The solo piano part is when you try to enter the realm, as if you are saying a password. Then, when the rest of the orchestra starts playing, you enter this magical world that you didn't know before. The world itself is made out of light and happiness but also out of sadness, sorrow and desperation. There are no humans in this world, it's only nature. It merely depicts the profound beauty of this nature on its own. Life comes and goes, it literally goes by; everything "just happens".
Je pleure à chaque fois... Surtout le combo Cor anglais /piano 👌😍
Écoutez cette interprétation (avec boite de mouchoirs pleine a portée de main)😉 th-cam.com/video/N6en9VSI_Go/w-d-xo.html
The best as always, thank you Hélène.
Happy birthday, Master Ravel !
prio038, I can't find the words to thank you enough or to describe my emotions every time I listen to this Adagio.
3:05 and 4:02 sheer ecstasy
Cada vez que lo escucho derramo una lagrima. Que belleza mas grande dios mio....
Helene Grimaud tiene la delicadeza de un angel. La visión de una diosa. Sentimiento femenino. Solo puedo decir GRACIAS.
There are no words for this piece of music. It takes me on a magic carpet ride every time I listen to it. It reminds me of my father God I wish I could talk to him right now.
8:36 reminds me of Ravel's Mother Goose
pri038, I wish I could find the words to thank you enough for posting of the most touching scores of all time, Helene Grimaud plays this second movement of Ravel's G Major Piano Concerto exquisitely !
One of the most jazziest piece composed by Ravel in my opinion. Beautiful use of dissonance, tension, and key changes inspires myself to compose music.
One of the most beautiful music written in these world!
What a tender interpretation of this magnificent movement. All the soloists are exceptional--English horn, oboe, flute, clarinet...
Fantàstic Ravel , Fantastics Helene Grimaud, i Vladimir Jurowski.
I don't know what he intended but I get the sense that Ravel is expressing the essence of Aging, Compassionate Care and Death in this movement. The disjointed piano plods along like the elderly. The first time there is treble fibrillation, the accompaniment comes in like compassionate caregivers. Then there are happy flights of fantasy (Alzheimer's?) in the right hand of the pianist, like butterflies. Until it ends with the final fibrillation and peace.
This piece makes me extremely emotional it’s not even funny. This is absolute beauty. Amazing work, well done.
Beautiful . Fills my heart .
cet adagio est l'essence de la musique !
this is beyond everything...
How beautiful...
Comment tutoyer les anges ? Cette oeuvre magnifique nous y aide allègrement !
Belle complicité entre la pianiste et le chef d'orchestre :-) qui doivent tous deux êtres en amour pour ce morceaux, merci pour ce partage, très émouvant
The Adagio assai of Ravel's Concerto in G is the sort of music I just couldn't live without. Thanks for this heartfelt performance, Pri038
P.S.: every time I listen to it I find it so hard to fight back my tears...
This is the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard in my life such a longing
Such intense and sublime moments, Helene Grimaud is such an amazing performer and look at the beauty of their looks to each other, sentimental. I couldn't even imagine how one and only Ravel felt when writing this magnificent composition. When Classical Music and Jazz are together as in this incredible composition, the intensity of music captures all the emotions of humans can feel at one time. Music is our universal language and as great Oliver Sacks emphasized "One does not need to have any formal knowledge of music - nor, indeed, to be particularly "musical" - to enjoy music and to respond to it at the deepest levels. Music is part of being human, and there is no human culture in which it is not highly developed and esteemed." and "Music is part of being human". Let music conquer our lives friends. The life is more meaningful when you dedicate yourself to an art form. Peace.
Fills my heart . Que maravilla! Absolument sublime ! Amazing!!! Wonderfull! De toute beauté .. Absolutely émotive! Incredibly beautiful! une merveille musicale... etc...
De toute beauté .. Un vrai chef d'oeuvre ..
Quelle profondeur, quelle intensité, quel mystère...Difficile de trouver les mots face aux évidences.. ce moment est une véritable cadeau parce qu'il est une communion entre des êtres qui laissent parler la beauté qu' il y a en chacun de nous,pour ma part cela me redonne confiance en l'humain et en la vie
anais ba Cela me redonne confiance en l'humain et en la vie; on ne peut mieux dire!
J'écoutais cet adagio assai les larmes aux yeux , étant gamine de 12-13 ans, quand j'étais très triste et blessée.Cette melodie de l'oboe de la clarinette et de la flûte reflètait mes sentiments désespérés. Mais enfin quand le piano se met à perler les suites de notes claires ,il me semblait que l'espoir et la joie calme se soulève au-dessus de la tristesse.
This is wonderful. Ravel makes a beauty that is fragile, but somehow survives the undercurrents of dissonance, which for me makes his work more precious than that of many more expansive composers, and seems to encapsulate our stormy life on this planet. I do love the glory of Handel, and the spiritual serenity of Bach, but it’s Ravel who speaks most intimately to my heart.
I commend the camera work for its unobtrusive intimacy that enhances the effect.
The 'Adagio Assai' is Stately, Magnificent, Dignified, Beautiful, Cossy insightful...is comply by H. Grimaud serene performance.

Concerto en G...Maurice Ravel, une merveille musicale...
Hélène Grimaud une interprète très sensible et très virtuose...
Merci !

Ni Beethoven, ni Rach ni Tchaikovsky tienen en su catálogo una melodía tan dulce y emotiva como este adagio. De los pocos momentos que hasta pueden sacarte una lagrima de la emoción.
Pienso igual 🍷
No se puede comparar Beethoven Tchaikovsky and Bach tienen infinite moments
This is also belong to that group
Inevitablemente lloro con esta pieza magnífica, una y otra vez.
Cada uno fue excepcional en su repertorio y tiene su carácter único e inigualable
@@ZicraVEVO totalmente de acuerdo, no se puede comparar
Gorgeous interpretation. This piece makes me rethink Helene Grimaud's talent!
Was there ever a doubt as to her talent?
Bravo! What an inspiration helene
Sublime interpretação de Helene Grimaud. Ela é sempre maravilhosa! Saudações de Brasil!
I think this is the best classical track ive ever heard this is such a beautyful journey this is gorgeous.
Uno de mis conciertos favoritos en donde uno puede "masticar" el lirismo que te llega a las profundidades del cuerpo o del alma , no se , donde se deposite esta música sublime.
i had partly heard this piece somewhere 10yrs ago and tried to find what music was. Finally found it again..😂
extraordinario!!! cuanto sentimiento, sensibilidad, paz que transmite helene!!!!!
03:35 is one of the most romantic moments in music, but listen to the entire piece. Its beyond magical, but that particular moment you can see in their faces.
c est trop beau ❤❤❤j adore🎉
Impresionante! Este movimiento tiene un poder especial, lo adoro.
She is simply splendid...so engaged, so joyous...beautiful.
