Ravel blind taste test ..........2000-08-25
So, last night I sat four of my kids down and played four different pianists performing the first of the Ravel "Valses nobles et sentimentales". They were Paul Crossley, Jean Yves Thibaudet, Friedrich Gulda, and Arthur Rubinstein. I didn't tell them who the pianists were and simply asked them which of the performances they preferred. My middle daughter (13) and middle son (15) immediately and without hesitation picked the Rubinstein performance. They commented on the care he took to PLAY the piece. My son felt the other performers pounded too much and my daughter felt some of the others too rushed. They all liked the Gulda second best, the Crossley third. The middle daughter hated the Thibaudet. She said it sounded harsh and clanged. Brian felt the Thibaudet was all over the place - rushed, then too slow, then rushed again. My youngest daughter (9) liked them all. She noted that they were different, but didn't feel she could like one better than the others. My seven year old son was just too young but knew he liked the music. Then I played the orchestrated version conducted by Boulez and the ALL loved and responded in a big way and decided that the orchestrated version was MUCH nicer than the piano version because of the rich sounds of the orchestra.
For my own rating, I love the Rubinstein, admire the Gulda, and like the Thibaudet and Crossley for what they are while not being totally convinced by their performance choices. And being a pianist of a sort, I always like the piano best even when I also like orchestrations.
Rubinstein at His Best.......2000-08-11
Some of Rubinstein's best work on record is on this disc. Although known as a Chopin player, that was by no means the limit of his pianistic culture. Rubinstein, who lived a considerable portion of his life in Paris, was especially adept in the French repertoire.
Ravel's Valses Nobles and Sentimentales, and the other pieces, benefit from Rubinstein's urbane, unfussy approach. Rubinstein never attempts the "piano without hammers" approach of Gieseking, but his tone is far from percussive.
The Chabrier Scherzo Valse demonstrates Rubinstein's remarkable memory and ability to assimilate new music. While recording this album, a friend showed Rubinstein the printed score for the Scherzo Valse. The pianists liked the piece, memorized it overnight, and recorded it the next day. He sounds like he has known the piece his entire life.
The sound, stereo except the Debussy pieces, is fine.

Piano Ravel in all colours........2001-11-01
This CD of mostly early works finds Ravel at his most pictorial or atmospheric. 'La parade' is one of his most joyous works, an extended evocation of the carnivalesque, full of dances, marches and games, an untroubled vision of the kind of world he would view through a darkened glass in 'la Valse', bubbling with the kind of exuberant energy you find in Chabrier (one of the three composers Ravel pastiches in homage here along with Gounod, Borodin and Haydn). Dance is a common motif in Ravel, and informs the ghoulishly skittish 'Serenade Grotesque', the old-world eeriness of 'Menuet Antique' and the 'Alborada del gracioso' that bursts out of its muted surroundings in 'Miroirs'.
This movement is complemented by the more reflective side of Ravel's art, the indestructibly mournful 'Pavane pour une infante defunte', the dawn ripples of 'Jeux d'eau', or the sprightly, but generally low-key effects of 'Sonatine'. Pianist Thiollier is at ease in these various Ravelian idioms, alive to colour, mood and humour. when he comes to the famous 'Memoirs', however, more familiar in a sinister orchestral version, he doesn't seem to grasp the more diffuse, Debussy-like impresionism and, with the exception of the aforementioned toreador-strutting 'Alborada', makes it sound a bit dull.

Introspective Piano, Take Two.......2000-02-08
I'm really glad to see (and hear) this CD, which is a follow-up to a collection that was so nicely programmed that I used to play it almost every evening for a few weeks. Now I have another CD as an after-dinner favorite. I knew the Brahms Intermezzos and Beethoven's Bagatelles, but many of the other pieces were new to me. All of the performances sparkle, and recorded sound is great.

Finest complete survey ( Vol 1 & 2 ) of Ravel's piano works.......2000-08-16
I own 4 or 5 different complete recordings of Ravel's piano music. In terms of interpretation and ( this is crucial ) the SOUND of the recording, this set ( volumes 1 and 2 are sold separately ) is my favorite. Of course, all complete Ravel sets have their strong and weak points, and Paul Crossley's is no exception. For example, Crossley's "Gaspard de la Nuit" ( Volume 2 of the 2 volume CRD release- this review is of Vol 1 ) features a "Scarbo" ( 3rd movt ) that is slow bordering on mannered. In fairness, Crossley used the deliberate pace to contrast with the absurdly fast tempi that most pianists use, which has the tendency to reduce the piece to (merely) an overly virtuosic display piece. I have no such reservations about the other "large" works ( "MIROIRS", "LE TOMBEAU DE COUPERIN" ) that Crossley plays with great delicacy, nuance and feeling. Sound, both in terms of the players touch AND the engineering of the recording are absolutely key to properly appreciating the works of certain composers like Schubert, Chopin, Debussy and Ravel. Unlike the overly harsh, "clangy" sound heard on the DECCA recording ( Jean-Yves Thibaudet ) or the overly reverberant CHANDOS ( Louis Lortie ) sets, the Crossley/CRD has achieved the perfect balance for the exquisite, fine diamond-cut precision of Maurice Ravel's compositions. Very highly recommended to long time Ravelians or newcomers to this music ( if you like Vol 1, be sure to get Vol 2 ).

You can do better than this.......2007-06-24
Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, who conducts most of the works in this set, is not an idiomatic Ravel interpreter -- for that, you need to turn to Jean Martinon, Paul Paray or Charles Dutoit. On top of that, this Vox recording was made only a few years after the Minnesota Orchestra (aka Minneapolis Symphony) had moved into its new Orchestra Hall downtown, and no one had yet figured out how to make a decent recording in the space (far too much reverb ... not a true pianissimo to be heard). Things have gotten better since then -- not just with the recording engineers but also with the additional baffles that have been installed in the auditorium. I'm not sure why SS and Vox elected to record just the two Suites from Daphnis & Chloe -- the complete ballet contains a third again more music, and it really is disingenuous of them to bill this set as the "complete" orchestral music under such circumstances. (Vox pulled the same thing when they first released this set on LP).
Incidentally, the entire Daphnis & Chloe HAS been recorded in Minneapolis before -- and better -- back in the mid-1950s under Antal Dorati ... that recording truly is noteworthy.
Ravel Orchestral Works=*****, Piano concerto: **.......1999-07-30
If you think you don't like Ravel's orchestral works, and this set doesn't convince you, then it's a hopeless cause. This set is a delight from (almost) beginning to end. The only major disappointment is the piano concerto, which is abysmal, mostly for the awful sound (I can't get past the sound to actually comment on the performance!). Don't buy the set for that. But DO buy it for the rest.
