This is THE BEST "Ondine" I've ever heard (and seen). You scared me. You took me to another world. The underwater world. I couldn't breathe. Your left hand keep me totally enchanted… captivated. Magic, pure-sound magic. Bravissimo. CVD
Among the Nine Muses, only Calliope was granted this 'power' and only She can bestow this 'power' ( the ability to resurrect the dead) upon those student She deems worthy. Plato said, "Among all the gifts the gods have bestowed upon Man, only Music can give us direct access to the soul." As you said, "You never know!" Sent with love, Charles.
Mon interprétation préférée de mon morceau préféré...Ondine. J'ai grandi avec les musiques de Ravel et Debussy et j'avoue que je n'ai quasi jamais entendu une telle fluidité et maîtrise du mouvement général du morceau. Ce n'est plus du piano, c'est la musique de la nature. Bravo Madame et merci pour ces émotions et ce bel hommage à Ravel.
This is grace at its purest. The touch of the keys, the music, the interpretation, the gestures and the pianist herself. We're touching heavens here, guys!!!
Graceful nuances and marvelously powerful. Yet calmly controlled. Time stood still with this performance. Ondine brings out true personality and depth of the pianist(s). Thank you!
I'm a big and old fan of ondine, this interpretation is indeed exceptionnal, although i regret it's to fast sometimes, espacially the very end of the piece. Anyway, bravo Di Wu, lots of emotion and delicacy
Wow-an exceptional performance! It's one of the most enchanting thigs ever written for the piano. or any instrument for that matter. of this earth and yet not at all. Thanks. :-)
wow, this was really beautiful...im very surprised and impressed because i know all the famous interpretations of argerich, pogolerich etc. you open a new world to me. the notes flow like water, so magical!
This was exquisite. So much delicate beauty, you have actually done justice to the magic swirling in Ravel's mind. And the lower register just sounds so deliciously rich on that Steinway :) Amazing performance.
A mesmerizing performance with a colourful piano sound and a great dynamic range, especially pp and ppp.. Incredible sonority control! Unbelievable that this pianist is so hardly known. Meanwhile Deutsche Grammophone promotes her fellow countrymen Lang Lang, Yuja Wang and Yundi Li who have nothing to say and only spoil music!
Spot-on comment. Her interpretation of Jeux d'eaux is several layers above competition to the point that Ravel himself seems to be playing when she does.
@hotbebimauz Yes, the notes were really meant to flow like water. A peacefully flowing water and later a fiery whirlpool which takes the poor fisherman to the clutches of the evil water fairy... great atmosphere thanks to Ravel
MrPaevo Are u kidding? She clearly did that on purpose to give the listener a shock as the ondine screams and dives back into the sea after failing to seduce them. Played wonderfully.
@@Magnet12 I think MrPaevo is not referring to that part at the ending, he is referring to the middle of the piece - where even if it gets to ff, it should still sound beautiful, not 'shocking'. I agree with him, it is too heavy here - and a shame, because it is so beautiful in the beginning.
This is really really spot on........phenomenal.....she's captures the subtleties.....although the rubati are dubious.......too driven by her strange musical personality......
I know Maurice was influenced by Edgar Allen Poe and that kind of "dark side," but this piece really scare me. The 'world' it creates is almost too much for me to bare. I've been a music for 70 years. But this work having to do with Gaspard and his adventures through the night... really scares the shi_ out of me. Only a master like Ravel and a willing student like Di could transmogrifate notes into the very astral world as they touch upon what we generally call reality. Congratulation. The ondine... lives "in a kingdom by the sea."
Absolutely true. You did your research indeed. This is a very astute and spot-on comment. Even though, what's fascinating in Ravel's work is that he always manages to dissimulate pure power under an outter layer of extreme delicacy. Just like with our feline friends. A bond between opposites, a pure and mesmerizing musical chemistry.
What, you're jealous or something? That's a very lame comment from someone who obviously doesn't want to see beauty and perfection when they are obvious.
great performance but she's cheating on the fingering to make it easier lol, not that that really matters. But it does defeat some of the purpose if you're trying to perfect that technique.
Especially in Ravel. In Scarbo, I could find a dozen of editions, with vastly different fingerings and many transfers between right and left hands. Whatever works...
@@vonPunki lol that's not similar - no point in forcing 5th fingers on octaves, especially black keys, unless your hand size restricts it as such, as it's much less pianistic. A more apt comparison would be using the 3rd/5th on the trills in La Campanella that are meant to be 4/5. But ultimately it was clear my comment was facetious and it's strange that you actually replied to it on top of the fact it was 11 years ago.

Miss Wu sets a new standard for "Ondin." It's her flawless precision and astonishing dynamic control that allows her to interprest so fearlessly.

Who is Kevin Hadsell? What say you?
Charles, I love you and your words. I absolutly agree with you. Ravel is a genius and Di Wu is magical!
Oh man she nails the anger at 4:12
Try Pogorelich and Grosvenor recordings.
Masterful. Divine. She perfectly brought out the melody against the back drop of accompanying right hand notes. This was magical. Bravo.

Absolutely stunning, and the splash at the end leaves 90% of the competition in the shade.
Yes, the splash and waters covering the nymph over is beyond description. Ravel was at genius level there. :-)
spotted
That is the most beautiful Ondine I've ever heard.
Ethereal and magic. Just one of the best performances.
Di Wu's playing is simply EXQUISITE!
are you serious?
Mystic performance of a mystic piece! So good!
splendide interprétation ; merci Madame, j'ai passé un très beau moment avec vous
Graceful nuances and marvelously powerful. Yet calmly controlled. Time stood still with this performance. Ondine brings out true personality and depth of the pianist(s). Thank you!
She's a drama queen.
This is a very true and insightful comment which I fully concur with. Well said!

WOW! Best performance of this movement I've ever heard!

Every time I hear Ondine played (well) it affects me like no other piece of music. It is so gorgeous, feminine and powerful.
Feminine??
What is it ?
A perfume??
they didn't accept her audition for the C movie in Iran.
Yes. Played well (and it's devilish), its one of the most fabulous pieces of music ever written. I've loved 'Ondine' for decades. :-)
ultimate version for this piece. no one comes close
This was exquisite. So much delicate beauty, you have actually done justice to the magic swirling in Ravel's mind. And the lower register just sounds so deliciously rich on that Steinway :) Amazing performance.
Delicate, beautiful!! Like it very much❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous!❤
Beautiful.
Amazing!
异常的细腻，精巧，妙不可言。
That climax is so tough to pull off and the entire page ahead of it! Anyone who has worked on this piece knows.
Divine
best!
beautiful and magical.....anyone else think this reminds them of magic pixie dust?? or fairy dust?? :3

夢見るような音。妖精の気持ちと水が本当に見える。Ilikethisverywell.
@hotbebimauz Yes, the notes were really meant to flow like water. A peacefully flowing water and later a fiery whirlpool which takes the poor fisherman to the clutches of the evil water fairy... great atmosphere thanks to Ravel
It is a shame the climax is garbled, especially in light of how sensitively and intimately the rest of the piece is played.
Indeed. Would be one of the best interpretations if not for that.
MrPaevo Are u kidding? She clearly did that on purpose to give the listener a shock as the ondine screams and dives back into the sea after failing to seduce them. Played wonderfully.

4.23 extasy for me!!! 😢😢😢
Her version of ondine is my favorite
除了很小的几个细节不能理解 其它的秒了所有那些所谓的大钢琴家们 太棒了！
I enjoyed Di Wu's concert last Friday..I think i may have more sketches than actual wods to describe my experience, though i'm not an artist
2:30 that view makes the piano look scarily huge lol
Wow..two 'points of contact' in one day...it was a joke indeed... "The Rise of the Pendants"....poor Van...
Lovely playing here indeed...:-]
Ondine
Why she haven't crossed the hand?There are many cross in this piece~She chaned it easy!!!
Completely true. I'd like to know the secret of her fingering.
I know how!
This is really really spot on........phenomenal.....she's captures the subtleties.....although the rubati are dubious.......too driven by her strange musical personality......
I know Maurice was influenced by Edgar Allen Poe and that kind of "dark side," but this piece really scare me. The 'world' it creates is almost too much for me to bare.

this is why tiger moms rule
She probably wasn’t forced to practice
I would say better than Arturo Benedetto Michelangili
She thinks she is auditioning for a part in a C movie in Hollywood.
What, you're jealous or something? That's a very lame comment from someone who obviously doesn't want to see beauty and perfection when they are obvious.
great performance but she's cheating on the fingering to make it easier lol, not that that really matters. But it does defeat some of the purpose if you're trying to perfect that technique.
You can take that dry pedantry you've got going on there and stick it back up your nose where you found it.
You should ALWAYS look for the easiest way to play things, for you.
Especially in Ravel. In Scarbo, I could find a dozen of editions, with vastly different fingerings and many transfers between right and left hands. Whatever works...
--- you probably consider the use of 4th fingers in octave passages as cheating too --- but who cares what you think
@@vonPunki lol that's not similar - no point in forcing 5th fingers on octaves, especially black keys, unless your hand size restricts it as such, as it's much less pianistic. A more apt comparison would be using the 3rd/5th on the trills in La Campanella that are meant to be 4/5.
