She handles the two big crescendos masterfully. She really makes the sea "angry". There is so much depth of expression in the slow parts. She doesn't rush those parts. Beautiful performance!
That pale blue dot. Yeah, that's earth. This is what music sounds like and is the embodiment of the complexity, wonder, beauty, intrigue and mystery of the human mind. Top that.
You can't. This songs sounds like something you would hear floating endlessly inside nothing, as if the entire universe has perished, and you endlessly reflect on everything
I raised a silent objection in my mind to the languid way she commences the piece, but in all honesty, she has made the piece her own and delivered to us one of the most persuasive performances I've ever heard or could hope to hear. Absolutely stunning. Congratulations to Martina Filjak on a truly outstanding performance.
Really?? My favorite part was the beginning where everything is just so lightly calming. I dont have a problem with the louder parts, its just very gentle and pretty it makes me feel at ease.
Pas seulement une pianiste accomplie, mais une musicienne, et pour tout dire une artiste, comme on en entend peu. Expression, nuance, phrasé, compréhension profonde de l'oeuvre. Je lui souhaite la carrière de premier plan qu'elle mérite, sans aucune réserve.
this piece will never be heard the same way as before (which was very uniform along certain lines) she really expanded the concept and with masterful control
Très belle interprétation poétique et nuancée. Un beau voyage sur l'océan à perte de vue. L'exact oposé de la version historique de Richter, remarquable elle aussi évidemment, qui nous immerge implacablement dans un océan déchaîné. Deux voyages différents et pourtant exactement les mêmes notes!
That Ravel piece is captivating and this lady does such an emotionally accurate job of describing it to music I pray she is faithful to God’s Word and gets the chance to play this for the King of kings someday!
She has the technical competence to interpret the score in a way that's fearless, and this execution provided several surprises that I enjoyed extremely. I am now a big fan!
bravo martina ! A la fois extremement douce et parfois furieuse cette poetique marine avec ses plaintes et ses ressacs; Bon tempo qui permet de mettre en valeur les détails d'une oeuvre que je croyais bien connaitre! excellent fini pianistique la ou Richter y va "a la louche"! piano impressioniste certes ,mais d'une puissance toute lisztienne ,assez unique dans l'oeuvre pour piano de Ravel........
If you're talking about 3:04, yes there is a glissando there. As Ravel wrote it the glissando up begins at G sharp and ends at precisely A sharp, and the glissando back down also begins at precisely A sharp and ends at F sharp. But she overshoots the A sharp quite a bit and also goes way over the F sharp :/ I think people sometimes finger the whole passage because Ravel wrote out all the notes for the passage, but he clearly indicated a glissando. I don't think either is wrong though
The coughing and sniffing from the audience is SO annoying and rude! It’s nine minutes of your life hearing a one of a kind, unique, difficultly learned masterpiece that you will not hear often. Hold in your cough!
She handles the two big crescendos masterfully. She really makes the sea "angry". There is so much depth of expression in the slow parts. She doesn't rush those parts. Beautiful performance!
That's a very astute observation, thank you. Her interpretation is probably my favorite.
this SHOWS the emotion of the sea
so beautiful. The attention to every note is just stunning and breathtaking. I love how she took her time so gracefully.
Awesome!!
I love the tempo she takes!!
Everyone rushes so much it's ridiculous.
there’s a recording of Ravel playing it himself pianists use for tempo reference
she doesnt play this piece, she LIVES it!!! gorgeous n powerful

3:35 is probably my favorite part of the whole piece
Really?? My favorite part was the beginning where everything is just so lightly calming. I dont have a problem with the louder parts, its just very gentle and pretty it makes me feel at ease.
Mine's everywhere, but one of my favorites is at 3:52
Holy hell she is mesmerizing to watch, flawless performance
I watch this at least once a week
Best version for this piece ever seen...
That ending is one of the most magically executed i've heard so far

The best interpretation of this piece so far (in my opinion). She really embodied the calm and rages of ocean.
I watched this 20 times and cried each time

Exactement! J'adore les différents visions poétiques...
The sounds emanating from this piece must represent the limit of what you could write down in musical notation.
That Ravel piece is captivating and this lady does such an emotionally accurate job of describing it to music
I pray she is faithful to God’s Word and gets the chance to play this for the King of kings someday!
Superb performance with excellent dynamic control, gorgeous tonal quality and nuances, expressive depth and technical excitement. Bravissimo!!!!
That key change at 6:07 is just........ buttery goodness
Martina is a great artist! One of the big promises of our generation in my opinion
Beautiful girl - beautiful piece.
i got shivers the whole performance. she played it with every fibers of her being.
She has the technical competence to interpret the score in a way that's fearless, and this execution provided several surprises that I enjoyed extremely. I am now a big fan!
Oh so smooth and clean!
Oh this sounds so wonderful.
the composer = genius, the pianist = almost genius.
SO beautiful and musical! Congrats. Ravel is an amazing genius.
Absolutely my favourite interpretation of this piece, to the point where if I listen to any other now it just sounds wrong! Gorgeous playing
very very good interpretation of this great piece, congrat' :)
Waouh !! Superb, I'm speechless...
quel beau jeu, fondamentalement -ce qui n'exclut nullement les progressions et nuances-) doux. Bravo. Michel Prady
So beautifully played by a soft soul. I felt I was there! Thanks for sharing! 🙏😇
Gorgeous! Love it 💕
love the glissando!

this is such an amazing interp my personal favorite is vitally pisarenkos
so soo very lovely. wonderful job.
amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely superb! Bravo!!!
Excellent rendition!
Lovely.
if i could play just one song this would be it,/,
Tellement sensuelle et inspirée, cette approche.
I think all other performances of this piece will be measured against this.
“Mamma mia” 🥹
Wow
beautifully delicate, but violent when it needs to be, what a performance
Prekrasno :)
are there different versions for this piece? I've heard other renditions that didn't have certain parts, like the glissando
If you're talking about 3:04, yes there is a glissando there.

You're correct. Ravel wrote the glissandi out limiting the range. She takes liberties by overshooting, but that is part of her interpretation.
She plays it a bit slower than most interpretations I’ve heard
She's playing with feel
1:04
hot

Tyler ???? Weirdo
I hate when people cough obnoxiously during performances
why there’s always someone coughing and ruining the whole vibe
wrong
Paola Bruni is much better than her!
salouni18
Better?? U mean ..different,right?
You try playing this then critique others...
Wow
