Maurice Ravel (1875 - 1937) Piano Trio in A minor I. Modere (00:00) II. Pantoum: Assez vif (10:33) III. Passacaille: Tres large (14:50) IV. Final: Anime (23:32)
This music glows. It shimmers like a pointillism of tiny snowflakes in the moonlight against the black night and its quiet, cold exhales. It's warm in other places, like the light of the lamp I sit under to read when the sun is sleeping. It whirls about with great tension like a ballerina or a dervish. It flits through old modes and new as if they were the pages of books, multiplying their individual effects innumerably.
What I think makes this version superior to so many others is that the trio is not composed of three soloists pulled together by the label as a marketing concept. It's easy to hear that these musicians love the work, and playing together. Nobody's trying to call attention to him or herself.
That's exactly why this version is, for me, nearly perfect. You made the point i think (and i think the musicians have very good taste too in their choices).
The Beaux Arts Trio is not a bad comparison to make here. Yet I heard one of the most transcendent, mutually giving, ego-less performance of this work at Parkville University (in Missouri, an awesome destination for musicians) just a couple of years ago.
I do understand though ... they went both beyond what they had around ... pure magic ... Schubert intense and short life and music put him quite above his overrated contemporaries
One crucial difference: Schubert, particularly in light of his short lifespan, had a mind-bogglingly large output, while Ravel tended to write much more slowly. Something similar could be said of Beethoven: His output is consistently good but small compared to those of contemporaries early in his career like Mozart, Haydn, Cherubini (30 operas, 12 Masses), and Salieri (also primarily vocal music).

Uno dei tanti capolavori scritti dal genio Ravel. Onirico, appassionante, travolgente e al tempo stesso meditativo. Da sogno. Merci Monsieur Ravel
Ravel was an absolute genius.
i remember seeing this film at a foreign film festival not realizing how much it would change my life,... plus mother's bolero too,...
Ah! Ravel. C'est magnifique
an exalted , withheld yet highly romantic introduction; truly an extremely well-written trio
Perfect balance, perfect tempi, perfect ensemble, perfect colorations.
For my own future reference: 14:47
quelle musique ...!!!

I beg to differ. The Beaux Arts Trio is a good counter-example.

I geb to ferdif to; but hey, i’m a born ferdiffer
sublime
Ravel é genial. Paisagens sonoras, serenas...puras e belas.
absolutely divine.
un équilibre génial entre les instruments
Magnificent performance.
From all executions available on TH-cam it is by far the best one. In my opinion.
Thank you.
(sorry for my poor english, i'm french)
I agree, and this recording actually having good audio quality contributes to it.
All is forgiven mon cher Simon, i to am french speaking, from st-Pacôme, Quebec;; and really Simon, peace be with you,
Wow!! Such a wonderful piece!!
Pure bliss.
I’m gonna learn this piece with my daughters as of today.
Lucky man, privileged daughters.
Without the music of Ravel, I proberbly died a long time ago.
+Harry van den Berg preach it
no mames
Hope you are still alive. Do not answer if you are not
Never know Ravel wrote this masterpiece.
Piękne wykonanie. Brawo !
Beautiful.
Two composers boggle my mind with how they could have come up with the music they did: Ravel and Schubert.
It's different, but Schubert was most definitely a remarkable musician in his own right.
I do understand though ... they went both beyond what they had around ... pure magic ... Schubert intense and short life and music put him quite above his overrated contemporaries
There's no accounting for taste. I personally think Schubert's output is more consistently great than Ravel's.

I would have to add Debussy there- his music is like no one elses
GENIUS
PianoDreams jaja good one

I feel cozy listening to this specutacular performance
Without Ravel ,
we would have been very lonely and feel insipid
Bravo!
