Helene Grimaud, Vladimir Jurowski - 2009 - Ravel concerto in G Major - Adagio Assai

Very touching...

Oui ce mouvement est littéralement un hymne à la nature à la vie, une véritable poésie musicale

Grand merci au premier mélomane qui voudra bien indiquer le nom de l'orchestre à tous ceux, très nombreux, qui ont apprécié cette remarquable interprétation.

Beautiful!

Hélène Grimaud 2009 Ravel PC in G major, Vladimir Jurowski, Chamber Orchestra of Europe; Recorded at Cité de la musique, Paris, France on January 24th 2009

The beauty of music is here. 🌹

MARAVILLOSO!!!!!

He oído muchas versiones, muchas, del concierto en Sol de Ravel y de este movimiento, famosísimo. Sin embargo, la interpretación de Grimaud al piano es conmovedora, de una delicadeza fuera de lo común. La orquesta recoge las piezas desprendidas de la fabulosa ejecución y las recubre de suave perfección. La cubre de luz. Enhorabuena.

This is wonderful. Ravel makes a beauty that is fragile, but somehow survives the undercurrents of dissonance, which for me makes his work more precious than that of many more expansive composers, and seems to encapsulate our stormy life on this planet. I do love the glory of Handel, and the spiritual serenity of Bach, but it’s Ravel who speaks most intimately to my heart.

👏👏👏

There are no words for this piece of music. It takes me on a magic carpet ride every time I listen to it. It reminds me of my father God I wish I could talk to him right now.

나의 18번… 후… 좋다. My favorite sound poem ❤

Bach, Mozart y Beethoven son los compositores mas reconocidos, luego podria venir Chopin.... pero Ravel.... Ravel creo que deberia tener al menos un reconocimiento similar.... es uno de los compositores menos valorados y para mi de los mas grandes, al nivel de Chopin e incluso Beethoven..... Rachmaninoff es otro muy grande y que tambien considero que no es tan valorado..... me encanta Ravel, musica moderna con una grandisima profundidad ❤

How else could someone write this

A longing such a longing for love a love that was lost or ended for someone

Can’t listen to this without crying

Such a longing for something or someone

Wish I could have played this for my mom and dad

soo feckin good

What a master peice of a very special song no words you make. your own words to this magical i suppose movement..just lovely

One of the most jazziest piece composed by Ravel in my opinion. Beautiful use of dissonance, tension, and key changes inspires myself to compose music.

Helene. Wat heb je dit stuk toch prachtig gespeeld. Heb al eens vaker gereageerd hierop. Het blijft 1 van mijn favoriete stukken. Zo gevoelig en intens gespeeld. Klasse!

I've just been transported somewhere else for 10 minutes. It's not often one comes across a piece of music so profound that it can do that. And the emotion Helene Grimaud plays with. Just wow!

Magnifique, romantique et mystérieuse cette oeuvre. Elle m'émeut, interprétée par Hélène de façon majestueuse.

Just a beautiful piece of music her piano and the orcestra in harmony just love adagio assai sends shivers through me.

Je pleure à chaque fois... Surtout le combo Cor anglais /piano 👌😍

Bravo! What an inspiration helene

Comment tutoyer les anges ? Cette oeuvre magnifique nous y aide allègrement !

I think she’s having multiple orgazms playing this

This piece makes me extremely emotional it’s not even funny. This is absolute beauty. Amazing work, well done.

I play this everyday for my mom and dad who left this world along time ago

My father would have have loved this piece he’s been dead for over 30 years and everyday I play this for him

This piece a longing such a longing for someone or something

A longing such a longing

Oh this is so lovely. Oh what a music! 👍👍❤️❤️

Adagio assai

This adagio is best performed in the ether

I want this played at my funeral over and over again

which orchestra is that?

I don't know what he intended but I get the sense that Ravel is expressing the essence of Aging, Compassionate Care and Death in this movement. The disjointed piano plods along like the elderly. The first time there is treble fibrillation, the accompaniment comes in like compassionate caregivers. Then there are happy flights of fantasy (Alzheimer's?) in the right hand of the pianist, like butterflies. Until it ends with the final fibrillation and peace.

She is so wonderful. I cry while listening her music. 🙏

Sound sculpture of the soul...

Agreed with so many of the comments of others on Ravel, this particular movement of this particular concerto, and having cherished Philipe Entrement's version since I was a teenager. The most striking thing about Helene's interpretive style is the marked use of space between her right and left hand. That delay keeps the melody floating high and the romanticism alive- plus the ebb and flow in overall time is key as well. Her dynamics are spot on, but her timing is what makes her take on this piece so brilliant. I think a work of this depth needs to be fully drawn out in this way. Achieving an interpretive skill to this degree is a rare thing. Many astounding pianists can play all the notes perfectly, but few can interpret the way she does here. This is a great rendition on everyone's part. Beautifully recorded as well. All instruments and notes are picked up exceptionally well. I can only believe Ravel himself would have been very proud to here his piece played with so much emotion and innate understanding.

SUBLIME………..MILLE MERCI
