géniale interprètation de Boulez les solistes sont fantastiques hautbois clarinette flute cor anglais et Pirerre Boulez d une parfaite précision comme d habitude bravo
I have a clear memory from about 20 years ago. I was walking and listening to my Walkman during Winter, and this piece started. At that moment snowflakes started to fall. It was so perfect that I had to find a place to sit until the entire piece had played. ❤️
Of the many version available to us now on TH-cam, none compares to this 2003 performance, because it features the exquisite playing of one of the principals of the Berlin Philharmonic, the great oboist Albrecht Meyer. Boulez is the perfect conductor here, restrained and tender when Ravel's writing requires it. This is deeply felt music, and is best played simply.
We can be reasonably confident that this masterful Boulez conducting would be approved by Ravel himself. Ravel composed the four tone poems to capture the memory and melancholy of losing four guy friends in the senseless trench warfare of WWI. Millions of young men all over Europe never returned home from that wasteful catastrophe.
I remember one old beautiful memory. There was the tomb of my father’s ancestors on the top of small hill. Beside the tomb, there was a cherry tree. Japanese had a custom to have a party seeing cherry blossoms with their dead ancestors. I was two or three years old then. Cherry blossom petals were dancing in the wind. My relatives of about 15 persons brought hand-made lunch boxes there and enjoyed an impromptu singing or dancing. My brother and cousins played to roll down the slope of the hill. I was afraid that they would get hurt and kept an eye on them grasping my mother’s hand. The turning sounds of clarinet of “Le Tombeau de Couperin” reminds me of the scene.
@@Kiarinadia Thank you very much. Beautiful memories remain inside us. This prelude reminds me of that feeling of the scene…..And most of the relatives including my big brother are dead(in the grave). There is a wonder to coexist with them in this music for me.
lots of people talk about the superstar oboe player but all of the reed players are equally great. he just moves his head around more when he plays. very common in music - people impressed by dramatic presentation rather than content. don't mean to criticize - everything about this is great, most of all boulez's conducting and interpretation.
The long reverberation of this cavernous hall is like the depths of your soul. At 15:58 hear how long it takes to clear the air before the next entrance! Dreamy...
Je suis convencu que seul les musiciens dites "modernes", de le 20éme siécle, comment Messieu P. Boulez, avont la pleine compréention de la nature transcendentale de la marveilleuse musique de Ravel, que surpasse toutes les formes musicales et les change pour la pureté absolu.l
Prelude and rigaudon too slow and too much detailed, we hear all the solos instead of an homogeneous orchestra. However middle section of rigaudon and 2 central pieces are very well rendered. Very interesting version indeed

Yes, magic! That's the joy of radio. You never know what's coming next, and it just might be perfect.
Yeah!

Nice experience !
Un precieux document.Merci.
Quel son magnifique ce doit être en direct , toute mon admiration.

Pretty danged good!
I prefer the recording he did with Cleveland
One of my 😍 favorites!

For me this is pure magic and joy, Boulez was the perfect Ravel conductor.
So true

I like your writing style.
Arigato（Thank you）
Wonderful remembering. The dancing of the petals and the rollings of the kids, I can see it as a perfect scene for the Prelude.
@@Kiarinadia Thank you very much. Beautiful memories remain inside us. This prelude reminds me of that feeling of the scene…..And most of the relatives including my big brother are dead(in the grave). There is a wonder to coexist with them in this music for me.
@@keikaki0919 I would feel the same. Music is our compagnon, like if it was the presence of all our dead love one.
It's like heaven.
This music and performance is SO groovy!

Meyer is playing his heart out in the Menuet! Love it.
La lumière semble être le thème de ce chef-d'œuvre.
Thank you thank you for posting the full performance! It’s been so hard to find this
Composizione M E R A V I G L I O S A: la ascolto quando ho bisogno di sollevare il morale ❤
Such a great piece, especially the menuet, so well performed and presented. Desert island.
0:25 - Prelude
3:46 - Forlane
9:38 - Menuet
14:51 - Rigaudon
manque fugue et toccata...
@@DrGasne oui, trop pianistique.😰
Finally! After so long of it not being here I’m so thankful this recording this back!
The long reverberation of this cavernous hall is like the depths of your soul. At 15:58 hear how long it takes to clear the air before the next entrance! Dreamy...
Yes indeed. But may be not always a good thing.
@@Kiarinadia I know the effect can sound silly and exaggerated but I think it works well in this recording overall.

The menuet is pure magic here

Awesome
French music played by the Berlin Phil--the perfect answer to the insanity of WWI.
Merveilleuse interprétation

09:37 ♥♥♥
Where is this please?
It's not in the Philarmonie, it's actually a church in Lisbon, Portugal, and the orchestra is the Berliner Philharmoniker
Thank you! It’s my favorite piece, and I appreciate all your input 😊
