that was about the time she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I think this is a piece that she could really relate herself to, it's a pavane for an unfortunate princess
I am very nearly persuaded that there simply could not be a finer performance than this one. Congratulations to Alice Sara Ott on a superlative rendition of this most beautiful music.
Her playing is like drops of effulgent moon dripping down . Every time I listen to her performance , I get wistful and feel sad . From chaotic and invincible Tokyo of the Land of Rising Sun
My mother was a piano-major @AgnesScott Uni in the late '40s - she came down with MS in the late 50's. :-( But today's medical treatments are vastly superior to the mid-1900's. My heart goes out to her.......
Earlier I wrote: "Every time I listen to this I fall in love with Ravel." Yes, I do, but Alice Sara is the one I think of, in a respectful way, of course. Her music, her history, her MS. In this "Pavane pour une infante défunte" , I think her destiny perhaps is concentrated to the utmost, I feel that this music is connected to her, and even more after she wrote about her MS. So for me this Ravel will be forever connected to Alice Sara. And she is the beautiful, young pianist that plays this wonderful music, and she will play it, and we will listen to her, forever. Thank you for the music!, and we sure hope to hear you again.

About the words Genius Magic Phenomenal I have nothing to say, and I dont think I have anything special at all to say to you, understanding that we both like music. I dont listen to Alice Sara any more, so you dont have to use any words upon me, I have other goals. This world contains different music as well, and I am eager to get in touch with something I never heard before, so to say. So, stay where you are, if you just want to argue about Alice Sara and perhaps some other female pianists with bare shoulders. I am moving on.

Well done!!! Steady pavane tempo, beautifully balanced impressionistic harmony, not overly dominated by the left hand. The music just flows and lingers. Ravel would be proud of such an authentic interpretation with great contextual honesty. It must have taken much self discipline not to let one's virtuosity over shadow the music itself. That's a sign of a great artist in a great performance. Congrats, Miss Ott.
@t @t Yes, Mr! “She is the most photogenic of players: young, pretty, bare-footed; and, with her long dark hair and exquisite strapless dress of dazzling white, not only seemed to imply that sexuality itself can make you a profound musician, but was a perfect visual complement to the sleek monochrome of a concert grand...

The link was accompanied by a close-up publicity photo of the musician: sloe bedroom eyes, sensual semi-open lips suggesting a delight that’s still illegal in Alabama, naked shoulders hinting at the similarly nude rest of her body regrettably out of shot… Let me see where my wife is… Good, she isn’t looking over my shoulder, so I can admit to you that the picture got me excited in ways one doesn’t normally associate with Chopin’s Fourth Ballade or for that matter any other classical composition this side of Wagner or perhaps Ravel’s Bolero. Searching for a more traditional musical rapture I clicked on the actual clip and alas found it anticlimactic, as it were. Khatia’s playing, though competent, is as undeniably so-what as her voluptuous figure undeniably isn’t. (Yes, I know the photograph I mentioned doesn’t show much of her figure apart from the luscious shoulders but, the prurient side of my nature piqued, I did a bit of a web crawl.) Just for the hell of it I looked at the publicity shots of other currently active female musicians, such as Yuja Wang, Joanna MacGregor, Nicola Bendetti, Alison Balsom (nicknamed ‘crumpet with a trumpet’, her promos more often suggest ‘a strumpet with a trumpet’ instead), Anne-Sophie Mutter and a few others. They didn’t disappoint the Peeping Tom lurking under my aging surface. Just about all the photographs showed the ladies in various stages of undress, in bed, lying in suggestive poses on top of the piano, playing in frocks (if any) open to the coccyx in the back and/or to the navel up front. This is one thing these musicians have in common. The other is that none of them is all that good at her day job and some, such as Wang, are truly awful. Yet this doesn’t really matter either to them or to the public or, most important, to those who form the public tastes by writing about music and musicians. Thus, for example, a tabloid pundit expressing his heartfelt regret that Nicola Benedetti “won’t be posing for the lads’ mags anytime soon. Pity, because she looks fit as a fiddle…” Geddit? She’s a violinist, which is to say fiddler - well, you do get it. “But Nicola doesn’t always take the bonniest photo,” continues the writer, “she’s beaky in pics sometimes, which is weird because in the flesh she’s an absolute knock-out. “The classical musician is wearing skinny jeans which show off her long legs.

Not even critics writing for our broadsheets, who don’t mind talking about musicians in terms normally reserved for pole dancers. Thus for instance runs a review of a piano recital at Queen Elizabeth Hall, one of London’s top concert venues: “She is the most photogenic of players: young, pretty, bare-footed; and, with her long dark hair and exquisite strapless dress of dazzling white, not only seemed to imply that sexuality itself can make you a profound musician, but was a perfect visual complement to the sleek monochrome of a concert grand... [but] there’s more to her than meets the eye.” The male reader is clearly expected to get a stiffie trying to imagine what that might be. To help his imagination along, the piece is accompanied by a photo of the young lady in question reclining on her instrument in a pre-coital position with an unmistakable ‘come and get it’ expression on her face. The ‘monochrome’ piano is actually bright-red, a colour usually found not in concert halls but in dens of iniquity. Nowhere does the review mention the fact obvious to anyone with any taste for musical performance: the girl is so bad that she should indeed be playing in a brothel, rather than on the concert platform. Can you, in the wildest flight of fancy, imagine a reviewer talking in such terms about sublime women artists of the past, such as Myra Hess, Maria Yudina, Maria Grinberg, Clara Haskil, Marcelle Meyer, Marguerite Long, Kathleen Ferrier?

Simply amazing performance and interpretation I really like the tempo as well. Sadly I just read Fernando's comment that she has multiple sclerosis. Let's hope for a wonderful future for an incredibly talented pianist.
This is the most graceful, empathetic, emotional and poignant piano performance I've ever seen and heard. Alice Sara Ott really lives and feels this music while she conjures this wonderful work of art out of the instrument. I'm totally touched and enchanted in showers of goosebumps and tears. Music can mean so much. ❤
When I think of what would break me, I think of one thing only: the loss of one of my children. Just hearing of the death of a child of a close friend who loved his sons, has struck me recently. I can not imagine his pain. Now that we have been captivated by her and loved her for years, it is heartbreaking to see her this way!! That face was not made for tears!
She was actually crying playing it. And you can see her steadying herself on the piano as she rises to meet the audience. Just so precious, this performance.
Now I am very angry. It seems that you are more interested in Alice Saras physical condition than in her playing, "steadying herself on the piano" as you say. What sort of man are you? Please, try not to put yourself in front of this wonderful artist. And I dont understand why you do it?
Cinetyk. Today I´m not so angry anymore. I just think it is so sad that people like you only comment her illness, as if it was something for the magazines, something sensational. "Steadying herself on the piano as she rises". Yes, sensational! Sorry, but this isn´t my horizon. Bye.
Cinetyk. As you can see, I dont give this up so easy. "Steadying herself on the piano" as you explaines it, seems to me be a gentle touch of the piano as she raises to get the applause. And I still wonder how precious this performance is to you?
Cómo es posible que esta preciosidad, ella misma y la música que interpreta, pueda padecer esa calamitosa enfermedad, si su aspecto es de extraordinaria salud!
One of my favorites of all times. This is a lovely interpretation . I edited this to my film In the Algarve, Portugsl the day my father died. It reminds me of all of us. We will never be the same again
3:40 sounds so like anime, and the whole piece feels like a studio Ghibli melody for me. And the four chords at 0:57 that appear several times throughout the piece, so full of power and delicacy. Thanks Ravel for composing, thanks Ott for her majestic performance, and thanks God for giving them inspiration.
Ravel was an impressionistic composer. Impressionistic music was hugely influenced by East Asian music (especially Japan). ^^ I see, we have an otaku here :D
@@haminguyen9598 Don't think I watch as much anime as to call myself Otaku, but I love Japanese culture and study its language, and yes, anime really brings strong images from my childhood and it is meaningful to me. I didn't know about the eastern influence of impressionistic music... Thanks for your comment 🥰
Those chords were also sampled (from a guitar cover of this piece) by Nujabes who composed the soundtrack to Samurai Shampoo. If you listen to the track 'Aruarian Dance', you can probably pick them out. I think it's actually why I immediately liked Ravel's piece when I heard it.
Every time I listen to this I fall in love with Ravel. The nice female pianist is just one of all to let his music out. But thank God for all phenomenal musicians! In this case I pity Alice Sara for her diagnosis MS, but thank her for all wonderful music she has given us. And we hope to hear her again. And yes, Im not only in love with Ravel, Im also a little bit in love with Alice Sara. Who else can separate music from their interpreters? I can not. So my love for Ravel spills over to Alice Sara. A little bit. As a matter of fact I love all musicians. Because I know how hard they try.
@@eytonshalom @ Staffan Olofsson Dear Olofsson, you write "love letters" to Alice in the video where Alice plays a concert No3 by Beethoven. This mediocre, narcissistic, arrogant person by the name of Alice made every effort to remove all the comments she disliked in the video where she performs Beethoven's concert number 3. But this next trick of this "star for one day" does not change anything, this video demonstrates the weakest performance of this brilliant work of Beethoven. Any inhabitant of our planet with a musical education can see it. But people who are looking for "attractive girls" on the Internet are completely delighted with Alice - she caresses their eyes with her appearance, her unnatural behavior as an actress of a provincial theater. This is not Beethoven, this is a cheap show "a la Hollywood"! I am very ashamed because the French are participating in this cheap show. This person, infinitely in love with herself, hiding under the name Karl Peter, writes enthusiastic comments about herself, calling herself "a new genius young pianist"! This person has completely lost control of her head!
It is such personalities (who go further) who destroy classical music! When you see an "attractive girl" at the piano, you start screaming on the Internet, like a rooster crows in front of a herd of chickens. You are not interested in Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel, ..., you are interested in "GIRLS"!
@@mariodisarli1022 Thank you Mario. At my age, 75, it is wonderful to hear from you that I am only interested in "Girls". If it was so I would be delighted, but sorry to say, it is not so any more.
Her incomparable performance of this masterpiece is the moisture of hearts of urbanites who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city like London , Paris , Tokyo , New York as Megalopolis with unimaginable muderous crowds , dangers and their relationship swirling . From Tokyo in the dizzying Megalopolis ablaze with neon Which national are you watching this video ？
THE INDEPENDET (**) Michael Church "...The hall was full - vigorous marketing, plus her trademark bare feet and scarlet ball-dress, had seen to that - but the performance itself was miserably charisma-free." Barefoot??? Tell me, who washed her dirty feet after her performance? Is her manager? Or are their feet licking enthusiastic fans? Or maybe she has to take off her underpants to become even more popular? If Alice thinks she has the right to appear on stage in such a vulgar form, I have every right to ask such questions!
@@mariodisarli1022 I'm sorry but whether you wear shoes or not does not make you a bad pianist. Stop judging her. You make yourself look like a troll and you keep posting the EXACT same post over and over. You need to enjoy music for what it is and stop tearing down artists you've never even met.
When i was a teenager, having just discovered Ravel’s piano music, it was via this piece. One of my absolutely favourite pieces of Ravel. Alice is a wonderful interpreter of piece.
Las manos de Alice Sara Ott son “Manos Ángel” es muy muy triste la noticia!! Es muy doloroso vivir sus hermosas y plenas interpretaciones con un duelo de esta naturaleza!
Every time I listen to her incomparable performance of this masterpiece , sadness surges up within me From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵 In memory of Mrs Miku Ishida who was a kind and heartfelt person to me As the days go by , I know that the day to return to Mother Earth is not far away It seems like it was a long time ago that I got to know you , Mrs Miku Ishida , My only regret is that I have not heard from you I'm worried about you suddenly losing communication I am filled with sorrow . So long Long good bye From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Al impresionismo musical de Ravel se une la interpretación virtuosa y magistral de Alice Sara que no solamente interpreta, sino vive el duelo expresado en acordes que recuerdan los momentos trágicos del deceso.

She is so deeply emotionally invested in this performance, even to the point of tears. She is a beautiful being!
This is my personal favorite piano piece by Ravel. Played with such elegance, grace and poise by Alice Sara Ott. Love it!
I watch this when I need a good, cathartic cry. Such a beautiful performance of a beautiful piece of music.
It is the most extraordinary and emotional interpretation of this piece that I know. To cry in front of so much beauty!
that was about the time she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I think this is a piece that she could really relate herself to, it's a pavane for an unfortunate princess
Best ever performance - incredible depths and emotions! I love her play, it always moves me. Phenomenal...
I am very nearly persuaded that there simply could not be a finer performance than this one. Congratulations to Alice Sara Ott on a superlative rendition of this most beautiful music.
Her playing is like drops of effulgent moon dripping down .
Every time I listen to her performance , I get wistful and feel sad .
From chaotic and invincible Tokyo of the Land of Rising Sun
My mother was a piano-major @AgnesScott Uni in the late '40s - she came down with MS in the late 50's. :-( But today's medical treatments are vastly superior to the mid-1900's. My heart goes out to her.......
Her astounding talent and beauty will always shine and inspire.
Love this piece , so beautiful .. she did make me cry .... ❤😂
Very intense and pure. Perfect tempo and perfect phrasing. This is the real thing.
Earlier I wrote: "Every time I listen to this I fall in love with Ravel." Yes, I do, but Alice Sara is the one I think of, in a respectful way, of course. Her music, her history, her MS.

The other day I listened to something or other on TH-cam, and a link to Chopin’s Fourth Ballade performed by the Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili came up.
The link was accompanied by a close-up publicity photo of the musician: sloe bedroom eyes, sensual semi-open lips suggesting a delight that’s still illegal in Alabama, naked shoulders hinting at the similarly nude rest of her body regrettably out of shot…
Let me see where my wife is… Good, she isn’t looking over my shoulder, so I can admit to you that the picture got me excited in ways one doesn’t normally associate with Chopin’s Fourth Ballade or for that matter any other classical composition this side of Wagner or perhaps Ravel’s Bolero.

Khatia’s playing, though competent, is as undeniably so-what as her voluptuous figure undeniably isn’t.

They didn’t disappoint the Peeping Tom lurking under my aging surface. Just about all the photographs showed the ladies in various stages of undress, in bed, lying in suggestive poses on top of the piano, playing in frocks (if any) open to the coccyx in the back and/or to the navel up front.
This is one thing these musicians have in common. The other is that none of them is all that good at her day job and some, such as Wang, are truly awful.

This person, infinitely in love with herself, hiding under the name Karl Peter, writes enthusiastic comments about herself, calling herself "a new genius young pianist"! This person has completely lost control of her head!
@@mariodisarli1022 Dear Mario, as I said
before, I´m moving on, I haven´t the slightest interest in continuing this stupid discussion any more.
It is such personalities (who go further) who destroy classical music! When you see an "attractive girl" at the piano, you start screaming on the Internet, like a rooster crows in front of a herd of chickens. You are not interested in Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel, ..., you are interested in "GIRLS"!
@@mariodisarli1022 Thank you Mario. At my age, 75, it is wonderful to hear from you that I am only interested in "Girls". If it was so I would be delighted, but sorry to say, it is not so any more.
Simplesmente Maravilhoso!
Incredibly beautiful and elegantly performed.
Quanta doçura ! Melhor interpretação para piano dessa música 💕
Magnifique performance!!!!
Gorgeous interpretation of this jewel. Lyrical as could be.
This Is pure bliss.
Very very beautiful ! Emotional !
Incredible performance of my favorite Ravel song
Moving;
soothing (knowing this piece is far not so easy as it sounds; seeing the score).
Great!
Alice Sara Strong!!! We All Love you and want you with us
Estou encantada com a performance de Alice. Interpretação maravilhosa, virtuosismo e clareza nas escalas.
Breathtaking. Achingly beautiful piece. Lovely interpretation
Formidable interprétation. Un pur bonheur
Her incomparable performance of this masterpiece is the moisture of hearts of urbanites who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city like London , Paris , Tokyo , New York as Megalopolis with unimaginable muderous crowds , dangers and their relationship swirling .
From Tokyo in the dizzying Megalopolis ablaze with neon
Which national are you watching this video ？
Magnifico. Gracias por esta versión única
My favorite rendition.
THE INDEPENDET (**) Michael Church "...The hall was full - vigorous marketing, plus her trademark bare feet and scarlet ball-dress, had seen to that - but the performance itself was miserably charisma-free." Barefoot??? Tell me, who washed her dirty feet after her performance? Is her manager? Or are their feet licking enthusiastic fans? Or maybe she has to take off her underpants to become even more popular? If Alice thinks she has the right to appear on stage in such a vulgar form, I have every right to ask such questions!
@@mariodisarli1022 I'm sorry but whether you wear shoes or not does not make you a bad pianist. Stop judging her. You make yourself look like a troll and you keep posting the EXACT same post over and over. You need to enjoy music for what it is and stop tearing down artists you've never even met.
Thank you very much for this delicate
masterpiece
Ravel wrote for a Spain princess
Stay safe
God always bless you
柔らかいタッチで繊細なメロディ！
Alice Sara Ott che splendida interpretazione!
Such a soulful artist
Her playing has superbly captured the tragically beautiful of the music. Agree completely with Lewis!
What a beautiful interpretation
Gorgeous!!!
Very beautiful performance by Alice Sara Ott
A beautiful Ravel piece played so beautifully 😍🤗
Thank you for taking me to a magical place...
Me encanta Alice
she makes the most pure and beautiful sounds
When i was a teenager, having just discovered Ravel’s piano music, it was via this piece. One of my absolutely favourite pieces of Ravel. Alice is a wonderful interpreter of piece.
Beautiful...thank you.
She is the best !!!
Thank you😢 bravo
Lovely, adorable. Ella es una obra maestra de la naturaleza. She is a masterpiece of nature.
Sublime💘
OMG OMG !!!
great performance
Except for the background noise...
Magnificent interpretation
can not hold my tear.........
ASO has developed into one of great artistes of the keyboad.
Sublime interpretación de la que es a mi juicio la obra más exquisita de M Ravel
Las manos de Alice Sara Ott son “Manos Ángel” es muy muy triste la noticia!! Es muy doloroso vivir sus hermosas y plenas interpretaciones con un duelo de esta naturaleza!
Everything is beautiful
Perfecta en su interpretación MARAVILLOSA PIEZA , muy emotiva y sutil
This goes hard af
Please come to the US, Alice.

Jeni

....beautiful
Every time I listen to her incomparable performance of this masterpiece ,
sadness surges up within me
From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
In memory of Mrs Miku Ishida who was a kind and heartfelt person to me
As the days go by ,
I know that the day to return to Mother Earth is not far away
It seems like it was a long time ago that I got to know you , Mrs Miku Ishida ,
My only regret is that I have not heard from you
I'm worried about you suddenly losing communication
I am filled with sorrow .
So long
Long good bye
From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Al impresionismo musical de Ravel se une la interpretación virtuosa y magistral de Alice Sara que no solamente interpreta, sino vive el duelo expresado en acordes que recuerdan los momentos trágicos del deceso.
That is beautiful
ADORO ESTA MELODÍA
Just perfect
Amazing performance

Es en mi opinión Suprema Belleza. Muchas gracias.
Breathtaking , as good as imposible to describe ...
