- Maurice Ravel - "La Vallée des Cloches", from Miroirs, 1904-1905.
Performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet.
La Vallée des Cloches, "The Valley of Bells," from the suite Miroirs, is a sonorous piece filled with the full sound of chiming church bells. It is the fifth and final piece in the suite, and is dedicated to his student, Maurice Delage, a fellow member of Les Apaches. - เพลง
I can't imagine my life without the music of Ravel. So many exquisite moments and unexpected movements from one chord or key to another, woven together with a sublime sense of deep emotional impulse. I have many favorite pieces of Ravel's, but this one is right at the top. Thank you for such a beautiful, patient, and sensitive interpretation of this magnificent piece of music.
This piece is toward the top of my list, but his Left-Hand Concerto is at the top for me, along with his Opera: “L’Enfant et les Sortiléges”. ❤️
I can’t imagine living without his music either. The “Daphnis et Chloé Suites” and the “Rhapsodie Espagnole” and the “Piano Concerto in G” and “Gaspard de la nuit” are all marvelous and spellbinding!
For me Ravel is one of the most distinguished composers of the last century. His music brings me to far places beyond of human's imagination. His music is mysterious as well as a drift in time.
I love his music so much! People should have know him more.
2:23 most beautiful thing I've ever heard
indeed
I just came from Debussy's La Mer and thought this was a beautiful ending to a movement. See 14:18 at th-cam.com/video/FOCucJw7iT8/w-d-xo.html
It's almost painful isn't it? In the best way.
If someone made trance out of that it would be amazing.
For me, this piece feels like confronting yourself and coming to terms with the past.
how I love ravel...this piece is so meditative...so plaintive...so peaceful....
Have just realised this piece is the antithesis of Bolero. Once it starts up the melody does not exactly repeat any phrase. It just goes on and on, creating an astonishing sense of rhapsody. Only Ravel could set himself a technical challenge like this, and write such a beautiful piece of music while trying it. It's why he's the only composer I know - including Bach, Mozart and Beethoven - where everything he wrote is worth listening to. And I love Bolero too: the opposite end of the rainbow.
never thought of that before but yeah that's fascinating, i feel like he's the best composer that ever lived sometimes
you doesn't know a lot of composers to say this..
@@scomu9742 Point taken. But I'm an old fart; I've heard a lot of music. I can honestly say Ravel has never bored me. And I've never heard another piece that comes close to the precise technical achievement - an always changing melodic line that lasts....nearly 3 minutes - of this piano piece. Not even from the likes of Berlioz, Debussy or Delius, who also liked to create long rhapsodic melody. And who usually had an orchestra to play with.
Robert Rowles Ravel is a master for sure
Oddly,Ravel did not like Bolero..he said something like what a shame my most popular piece contains no music!
I find each piece in this set has a VERY ambient middle section. I love from 2:20 on... and later (2:57) the play on the BbM/fm chords... sounds so improvised and introverted, but it fits so well in the piece. You just hear the relentless bell motif underneath.
This set is just a freaking masterpiece.
Wow Ravel's music is spooky... Hearing the chime of the clock at the beginning
William that's what I LOVE about his pieces. Dark and spooky!
1:03 I love that part..
Beautiful, I've listened to most of Miroirs at this point and theres something painfully beautiful about them. Maybe it's the way Ravel makes you wait just a little bit longer for that key change, or something else more complex. Either way, this music is incredible.
One of the most profound pieces in the piano literature....
For me it's reminiscent of brevity and beauty of life..
1:54 most likely one of my favorite passages in any Ravel composition
The tres calme part is my favourite. Amazing chords.
You can here the Angelus bell with its 3x3 striking, while little chapel bells are already ringing in the background, slowly moving forward into a full solemn peal. The bells stop swinging in the end, while the clapper touches the body of the biggest bell several times.
Very beautiful piece and terrific interpretation.
Un plaisir pour les oreilles! 😍
Memories of "Lilias, Yoga and You" from my childhood in the '70s.
Thanks for the upload 👍🏻
The part right after 2:23 always gets me.
Must have an in-tune piano :D
Those quartle harmonies man. Isn't it a 20th century thing?
Something to think about: Did anybody else find any resemblance to "Le Gibet"?
For the hypnotic effect yes (the same note being repeated)
Nathaniel Ouzana Le Gibet also has that "bells ringing" effect in it
Yes
Yes of course, they are both bell pieces haha
es realmente maravilloso como hace q me sumerja y deje la razón, captura todos mis puntos de atención
amo questo pezzo. Amo Ravel
Similar to Le Gibet..a dark and mysterious quality..
I was going to say the same thing! It's unnaturally beautiful!
Sounds so familiar yet foreign to me. This piece is a treat and I'm just discovering it now.
Mein absolutes Lieblingslied...
lovingboarding kein Lied. Es ist ein "Stück"
I believe Ravel intended them to be played as sextets (6 16ths in the space of 4) but with the rythm of quartets hence the funny way in which they are arranged.
...hypnotic...
4:35 on is my favorite
Glad I'm not the only one who can't play those soft octave chords without a slight arpeggio.
géniale
I was going to make the same comment! how strange, this very part caught my attention when I first heard this piece. strange emotion really.
Now I learn this piece, and what's really crazed me in the begining is that the 16th's in the begining are not marked as 6:4 (six in time of four), although they are in that time XP
It's the same in many of Ravel's pieces. He doesn't always mark these changes.
Ravel writes chords like, I got all these fingers and doggonit I am gonna use all that the good Lord gave me.
Thanks, not sure why I typo'd that.
Hoooray! I played the notes on the first 2 measures correctly. (^0^)
the two first bar may be a tribute to la campanella
@grimmbo93
Entschuldige. Ich meinte natürlich ein (Musik-)Stück.
Lilias Yoga & You brought me here
My hands can only reach as far as a 10th? Is that too small to play this piece?
Definitely not
It reminds the opening of Zelda - breath of the wild.
5:19 is so fucking Zelda
5:24 ...
ravels
It's like McCoy Tyner got some of these idea from Ravel.
@lovingboarding jetzt müsste es nur noch ein "lied" sein
The harmonies in this are otherwordly.
This has a sort of Ghibli feel to it
Beginning kinda sounds like a predecessor to Ondine
Okay. At some point traditional key signatures are just stupid just write F# 69, E7-13. Tons of key sig changes, accidentals, doublesharps to add to the clef changes. Yuck! Ugleeee!
oh no is it too complex for you? oh no!
can you shut up?
