    Ravel is one of the three "R's" of great orchestraters: Ravel, Respighi, Rimsky-Korsakov. Maurice Ravel transformed his own "Pavane for a Dead Princess", (originally scored for piano). He took up orchestrations for Mussorgsky's original piano work, "Pictures at an Exhibition". Listen to the transformation of all works placed in Ravel's most capable hands..

      It DOES have a sense of finality to it, but always remember: in its orchestrated version, it is vastly more powerful than it is in its rather trite pianisitic version. I'm am grateful for that.

    What an extraordinary orchestra. Could not be better. Bravo. What a treat to hear this great piece performed by these young masterful musicians. Better than most professional orchestras i hear, including the New York Philharmonic. The contrabassoonist is extraordinary. What a great and wild sound she got. And the violinist bird sounds are perfection. All of this is so impressive.

      @@MOGGS1942 Speak for yourself. Oh golly, here we are!
      There are people who downclick for lots of reasons *other than* an honest assessment of the content.
      These are the types who also laugh-react a non-humor post, for example, to downplay the veracity of what another says because they simply don't "like" it or don't "agree" with a discussing and are being petty, though too cowardly to do much else, like have an honest dialog.
      Unless there is something truly objectionable to content here on YT (real and actual violence, harm, hatred expressed, etc), I refrain from 👍 or 👎 in that case if content merely doesn't appeal to my personal aesthics.
      Art and its appeal is always extremely individualistic. Even a piece which isn't appealing to my personal aesthitic doesn't mean it deserves 👎 if the skill, talent, execution of a performance, etc., still has technical merit, for example. That would apply to any performance, really. Credit where is credit due, even if it isn't personally something I'd select for myself to see/hear more of.
      But there are many who don't think very far past their own narrow criteria, and their reactions are very obvious, too. If something isn't appealing to their aesthetic, they are quick to diminish, regardless of other merits.
      That's the point.
      Speaking of reactions, you might want to rethink yours in relation to clear-eyed realizations of human behavior.

    The real problem being that it was conceived as for pianoforte duet but listen to how the orchestration of every nuance can lead us away from Mother Earth into an ethereal place. Allowing for the Beast, of course, I cannot think of any comparable work in the orchestral repertoire - apart from perhaps Respighi?
