Vitaly Pisarenko, 1st Prize winner of the 8th International Franz Liszt Piano Competition 2008 plays Ravel - Une barque sur l'Ocean. www.pisarenkovitaly.com
the first 20 seconds of your song, they sound the same as Jhené Aiko's song - Sativa ft. Rae Sremmurd. Nothing detracts from the fact that yours is very beautiful
@@l.1244 You didn’t get their comment. They’re saying they would want that guy’s brain and hands to give them a surgery if they were to have a brain surgery because of how precise, delicate, and coordinated he is on the piano.
This is hard to put to words, but: a performance like this is *only* achievable by memorizing. Memorizing is a tool for greater freedom of expression on the piano.
This piece is actually easier to memorize than most of similar length due to frequent repetition, broken chords (one hand position where the fingers are played in sequence), relatively few inner or secondary voices and the "waves" that guide the music. A Bach fugue, by contrast, is more difficult to memorize.
This is a piece I will never learn to play. Why? I want to keep it magical. I recently learned to play Reverie by Debussy and although I love playing it, I no longer see the piece in the same way. So I want to keep this piece as a hearing pleasure, not a playing one. Another reason I won't learn to play this is because I never had any formal music education and it would take me god knows how long to learn it :)
@@theotries i still absolutely love piano, including this song, but i had to stop lessons as it was easier to just pause and study for a while but i plan to pick it up again after school
This song features in the movie Call Me By Your Name. That movie and this song took me to another world which I am still trying to understand Edit: I understand it is a "piece" now. Not a song. Thank you. Have a good life.
You are on the right on the money! I couldn't help but see some Paul Thomas Anderson influence in the camera angles and the color pallete. And that's a compliment to the director. It suits the type of story perfectly
@@thepamesan4184 Your comment reminds me of my first piano teacher, she had a big sign on the wall, next to the piano, saying (in French) : "Le don n'est rien sans le travail, mais le travail n'est rien sans le don". That would translate to " Gift (or talent) is nothing without work, but work is nothing without gift". That was very intimidating !
How is this piece even real?? To think somebody wrote THIS and to see this guy performing this with only 10 fingers..I didn't think it was possible ..mind blown 😭 ♥♥♥ So damn beautiful and touching
A benchmark interpretation.Pisarenko is the only pianist that begins the trills preceding the downward arpeggios, like a whisper, creating the exact magic effect Ravel was striving for.Bravo!
Not only is this performance genius but this song combined with the movie call me by your name is so powerful that it is able to bring me back to the emotions I felt during the movie and that’s amazing.
@@djmotise I know this is a year late but could you explain to me why you hold that opinion? I'd be interested to hear as I watched it again a few nights ago and loved it
@@eoindelahunty74 Hi. Here's why: there were many great things about the film, such as the cinematography, direction, use of the Ravel etc, but the STORY is weak to me. I never felt they were even remotely "in love." And I value relationships above all else when seeing a film or show. I expected better dialogue between the two. I didn't feel any passion, particularly from the older character. (And AH has the potential to give way more than he did) TC played his part so well, but I didn't feel there was any fire between the two. Nothing of interest to me. Bland writing. I felt the older guy USED the younger and spit him out. Maybe that was the intent of the storytelling, but it wasn't clear enough. I expected to see tears and loving embraces. When they went off on that last trip together, I expected a full on expression of love/lust and a brilliant moving goodbye scene. I got nothing. I realize everything doesn't have to be so passionate all the time, but I felt the writing didn't even bring me close to that love and desire I've seen in other films. (The book may be excellent. I've not read it. But the film may have failed to express what is in the book.) I also felt it odd that the parents had no problem whatsoever with their 16 year old son being with the older man. Also, Armie looked way older than 24, and Timothy looked about 14. I got a sense of pedophilia at times. TC lost weight and tried to look younger. It was a bit too much. And I don't have an issue with this kind of story. "Notes on a Scandal" had similar subject matter, and that didn't bother me. Neither did The History Boys. The Italian location is very beautiful. Maybe I shouldn't have said the FILM is awful. To me, the story and dialogue is. But that's a huge part of a film. I also remember being annoyed by numerous other things, such as them not showing any clear kissing shots. They were blurred out at one point, as if Armie didn't want to be seen clearly kissing a man. I found that odd.
C Minor 9: C,Eb,G,Bb,D. C Minor 11: C,Eb,G,Bb,D,F. And you can play this specific voicing for C minor 9: LH: C,G,Bb; RH: Eb, G, Bb, D This for C Minor 11: LH: C,G,Bb; RH: Eb, F, Bb, D The first chord he played sounds like a F# minor 9.
Jesus, the final minute! So heart-breakingly beautiful, Pisarenko's fragile interpretation - those final remnants of prior arpeggios, so like waterdrops! - is just right here, I feel! The piece throughout is played with careful, but strong, opinion. Though his face betrays fairly little emotion, his hands weave a story far more intricate, far more revealing, both of himself and the composer.
@@jazzm786 genetics affect certain physical things like hand size, strength, sure. But being naturally “wired” for piano is a myth. the actual skill is developed by a physical process of repetition, where neural paths in your brain are coated with an insulator called myelin. this is how EVERY skill works, even in sports. the other main important thing is your teacher, someone who can bring out your best. but lacking that, you are sure to improve if you can learn what makes a good player and be consistent in playing well & often.
@@jazzm786 great question, and yes, that is still somewhat the case. before about age 7 you can develop an unusually strong connection between the hemispheres of the brain, and more easily become fluent in languages and music. but don’t worry, the brain is now understood to continue developing until age 25-30. you have plenty of time to enjoy the benefits of being on the young side.
I'm a trained composer and musician, and having watched this, with the feeling of awe that I have from it, I can only imagine that this is how normal people feel when they see an amazing magic act performed. For me, as a musician, what you've done in this performance is nothing short of magical. I was not familiar with this piece before I stumbled upon this video, but I honestly don't think I even want to try listening to another interpretation. This is perfection, and I'm not one to throw that term around.
I’m nearly 15 and my goal is to learn this by the time I reach 16! I will enjoy trying to learn it at least 😅 but I want to learn it so bad. It’s such a beautiful piece. It feels like experiencing a whole lifetime in one song! 🥰
I am living in place such a desert and i have never being in green places like farm or mountains covered by the greenness. This song brings me in those places such a haeven or green villages i wish and i hope to visit Europe countries
I have never heard Ravel played better than this.I would love to hear Pisarenko play Gaspard de la Nuit, which I believe he was born for.His touch, expression, and vivid imagination make his playing a benchmark performance.
juliana ortiz hope you haven’t given up and you can play it now :) For my part, I haven’t played the piano for maybe three years now. And obviously I lost all my skills... But I tried to play this today (I know it’s impossible for someone that hasn’t played for years) and I learned a good part of the right hand :)
From 7:03 to the end of the performance showcases some very very beautiful and thoughtful rubato that gives this performance something magical over the other performances I've heard. 7:05 makes me think of a window on the side of a boat surfacing above the water and seeing water trickle down the window. 7:15 is the last of the rain drops hitting the boat as it leaves the storm.
Я влюблена в это произведение: сегодн Я слушаю подряд уже 6 раз.невероятные краски звучания просто поражают.., всплески, волны, ...брависсими, Виталий!👏
I am listening to this piece just before going to sleep and I feel transported to another dimension !! What a wonderful piece, what an outstanding pianist
yt comments are the best representation of the zeitgeist. the state of humankind in 2018. look at the patchwork here, weaved from the material of all the different people who come here for Ravel, for Pisarenko or for the movie Call Me By Your Name. in hundred years people will use AI to mine yt comments to learn about life in this era (if your’re reading this: hi.)
If I've already posted a comment on here, apologies. This is an extraordinary performance. To make what is basically a percussion instrument sound like water is absolutely incredible. The composition is of course brilliant, but this is a consummate performance. If VP is not already pulling down the big bucks for his performances and recordings, he should be.
I honestly think that call me by your name, and this piece in particular, really reminded me how beautiful classical music is. I used to despise playing the piano and it literally used to make me cry and have panic attacks, but i fell in love with piano and this piece. So I'm gonna learn this piece even if it take my whole life haha
This piece sounds ultra dramatic because it's played on a ultra pro piano. Try it on a cheap E-piano, you will hate Ravel's music's accuracy. Anyway, some of high level music are only for rich people, the invention of grand piano brings us Une barque sur l'ocean, not the poor harpsichord in Bach's hands.
Superb interpretation! So effortless, images of the boat floating at times, then gliding into the water. Great contrast between the sections, total control. Bravo!
I would love to hear him play Garspard de la Nuit. His Ravel is gorgeously lush. Un barque sur l'ocean has similar theme and sound palette as the Ondine.
I bet he loved practicing arpeggios as a kid.
Louis Emery OML yes!!
That made me wheeze a lil
I bet he drinks Carling Black Label.
Damn lmao 😂
@@ollyd9461 lmao

So it is physically possible 😀
Suddenly, I feel very small.

I see you did it yourself on your channel 2 years later though! Good job man.
I love how daunting a next level piece is until you do it. Well done.
Matt Russo what’s that supposed to mean?
@@callmejulia._.610
Yes, it's hard to not see that comment in a racist light, unfortunately.
Ravel is criminally under-appreciated outside of the world of classical piano. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
Always fantasy, outstanding by every note
I mean it’s a love hate relationship with ravel because he always gives bassoons really difficult parts 🤷🏾♂️
Euh, son boléro est tout-de-même une des pièces classiques parmi les plus célèbres dans le monde entier, toute époque confondue...
I love the way there's no showmanship, though he's completely in control of the instrument. Brilliant.
lve thought this many times-he has the mastery of the piano!
mastery becomes showmanship - sprezzatura is its own bravura
Its easy to memorize by piano standards. I am just intermediate and can play this.
He has such a light, fluid touch, without losing a thing. Exquisite.
If I had to undergo brain
surgery, I want

@@TheWelchProductions ok smart guy
Can we just comment on the fact that he MEMORIZED this piece? Pianists are lunatics, they memorize everything.
This is hard to put to words, but: a performance like this is *only* achievable by memorizing. Memorizing is a tool for greater freedom of expression on the piano.
Memorising this piece is easy, compared to actually playing it without mistakes and with such mastery and taste!
VanSensei muscle memory, peaches!
This piece is actually easier to memorize than most of similar length due to frequent repetition, broken chords (one hand position where the fingers are played in sequence), relatively few inner or secondary voices and the "waves" that guide the music. A Bach fugue, by contrast, is more difficult to memorize.
for many people - if you practice a piece to where you can play it to perfection, the memorization comes for free.
This is a piece I will never learn to play. Why? I want to keep it magical. I recently learned to play Reverie by Debussy and although I love playing it, I no longer see the piece in the same way. So I want to keep this piece as a hearing pleasure, not a playing one.

Even as a pianist with 17 yrs experience it has taken me months
Lucas Thats beautiful, thank you for sharing
Exactly
I understand you so much!
Once i learn a piece, i usually can no longer hear it as i used to do before
True, but I also usually feel a greater connection when I actually play it.
Playing this piece is one of my ultimate goals in piano, one of the reasons why I am taking my musical education to next levels.
same here!! update me on how it's going lol
@@jazzm786 same here! Started last week, how is it going for you?

I am still working in Pagodes of Debussy. I hope I am getting nearer.
This song features in the movie Call Me By Your Name. That movie and this song took me to another world which I am still trying to understand

3:33 speechless
This video have 2 excellent things:
- The creativity of Ravel
- The talent of Vitaly Pisarenko
and a decent piano so 3 things i just tried to play this on my upright victorian piano and the boat must have been the titanic lol
It's not talent. It's hard work!

Listen to Rachmaninoff's 3 Piano Concerto or Brahms 2 Piano Concerto. This is by far not the hardest piece in the world to play.
He has 11 fingers.

Minor 11 is my favorite chord, probably because of its deep blue ocean feeling.
What notes? In c minor
C Minor 9: C,Eb,G,Bb,D.
C Minor 11: C,Eb,G,Bb,D,F.
And you can play this specific voicing for C minor 9:
LH: C,G,Bb; RH: Eb, G, Bb, D
This for C Minor 11:
LH: C,G,Bb; RH: Eb, F, Bb, D
The first chord he played sounds like a F# minor 9.
Thx
Same. Sometimes I feel Minor 11 IS the meaaning if life
7b5 add 11 is my personnal favorite

Nice. This is the best version out of all I've heard
No wonder he won the competition - such sublime prowess - one can only say Thank You, Thank You

J'adore la musique de Ravel...ç'était formidable. Merci!
I love this; absolutely breathtaking.
“i know nothing oliver”
Listening to the orchestra version sounds like I’m in the ocean but when listening to piano version it sounds more like falling in love
there were moments I forgot I was listening to a performance, absolutely captivating.
Speechless. Phenomenal technique, and insightful, thoughtful interpretation that can’t be ‘taught’..
The force is strong with this one.
excellente interprétation car il traduit toute la sensibilité musicale de Ravel
I love how his hands float above the keys - sometimes elegantly sometimes frantically and everything in between - like une barque sur l'ocean.
Very good. Not heard this piece before, a boat on the ocean? Can easily imagine that in this piece!
This piece brings you on another planet, that sounds so different, so mysterious, but also incredibly beautiful, can't wait to learn to play it
This interpretation is the best I've heard!!

I have never heard Ravel played better than this.I would love to hear Pisarenko play Gaspard de la Nuit, which I believe he was born for.His touch, expression, and vivid imagination make his playing a benchmark performance.
The first few bars would scare anyone off, or at least give them RSI within an hour of practice.
It is really nice to see pianist full of personality.

Sensual Italian summer, right?
I really hope the whole Miroirs series will be posted. So sublime!

Truly magnificent performance of one of the most magical piano pieces ever composed.
Heavenly performance with magical tonal quality and nuances. Bravissimo!!!!
Ravel orchestrated this piece, with his usual skill, but I'll take the original piano version any day.
There is an orchestration of the Toccata from Tombeau out there somewhere
I dont know who is more brilliant now... Ravel or Pisarenko....
Thing is I've practiced that first phrase about 472 times and I still can't do it NEARLY as fast and beautiful as that. Wow.
