Lovely playing from the best pianist, Perlemuter, performing the works of the BEST composer, Ravel!!!! "Noctuelles" is the most charming piece of music ever written - truly captures the cuteness of night moths!!
These revelatory 1955 performances are truly vintage Perlemuter. Perlemuter was really great in Ravel-- until he got old. His many later recordings are a disservice to his own powers. He had neither the same technical control nor the same expressive nuance as an elderly pianist, a characterization I would also apply to the older versus the younger Novaes.

La beauté, la poésie, le mystère à l'état pur. Et la grande maîtrise!
This performance of Une barque sur l’océan = goosebumps!
the best there is!

"Noctuelles" I'm unsure about. Whenever I hear it I have a more or less constant feeling of needing to brush those moths from my face. :~)
magnifique Ravel!

Wonderful playing, of course, but have any of you heard the Miroirs recording by Pianist ANDRE LAPLANTE?
Yes! It was exquisite!
