The is performance is UNBELIEVABLE. The whole piece makes musical sense in a way I've not heard before. The tone colours he produces and the perfection of the right hand figuration --- I'm in ecstasy.
To me this is the only version where you have a clean sense of tempo, and where the melody drives the whole architecture. Pretty much how a conductor would drive the orchestra. Virtuosity, as Ravel intended, is a way to support the musical idea, not the other way around. Nothing short of a fantastic version.
To play this piece well, ten fingers and one brain must do the job of an entire orchestra. I never tire of Michelangeli's sublime grace and control. Such sensitive touch and beautiful tone.
At first you think he’s rushing the shimmering opening chords, but then it’s clear that Michelangeli is letting all of Ondine take shape, whirl and glisten incomparably, setting the tone - cool yet supremely virtuosic in the best sense - for the entire miraculous suite. There are many differing Michelangeli renditions but this is my favorite Gaspard.
I can't decide which version I prefer between this one and martha argerich's. This has maybe more light in it. I got chills from the first note he played.
Mi chiedo chi sia il poveretto che ha postato il pollice verso. Si dedichi alla disco-dance, sarà meglio per lui. E dedichi i suoi risparmi a un buon psicoterapeuta.
When you hear Ravel's masterpiece through Michelangeli's fingers and mind, it finally makes sense.

I'm convinced even a player piano can't make the opening that perfectly even and smooth.

He got it.❤
This is my favorite interpretation by the way, so clear, so beautiful...

This is an exquisite, poetic, atmospheric, lush interpretation. Michaelangeli's color and shimmer are stunning as is the melodic line

grande, grandissimo, unico e irripetibile, aveva la capacità di trasmettere lo spirito di quello che interpretava anche alle pietre
This is iridescence and shimmer...exquisite rendition.
Nobody plays this piece like him. Michelangeli is the absolute reference.
This is something else woah
Amazing!!!No words!!!
Outstanding performance.
He is perfect as always!!!
One of the triumphs of 20th century pianism.
That's the only performance where the accompaniment is clear. All others sound blurry and dirty.
i agree with Emmanuel Naim, for the sense of the tempo :)

PeerGyntTheOnion I love Ashkenazy’s rendering of this. This one is computer-like in its relentless efficiency; cold.
@@EmptyVee00000 why do i find a comment of yours about Ashkenazy under every single video? you are quite obsessed, bro
My piano teacher studied with him - ABM said that Ondine was a "cold bitch" and that playing it this way was deliberate
@@ludwigvanbeethoven7045 I think he might be Ashkenazy (or his son/daughter).
MÁGICO!
i agree with Emmanuel Naim, the tempo is only on this version.
he is the god！！！
Da ora credo ai miracoli...
Ondine was never like this and it may not ever be like this again..
Michelangeli had an heart attack in 1988 while he was playing this masterpiece
I'm afraid not... it was "Ondine " by Debussy (prelude).
@@GuillaumeMoix easy enough mistake to make.
Meglio di Praga 60, meglio di Vaticano 87. Meglio di Tokyo...questa è la perfezione... Mai più un Gaspard così...immenso...
