RE: [F_minor] Ravel

GG's transcriptions in general are very good (the Ravel indeed - compare
with the original four-handed version on youtube with Martha Argerich -
to me too muddled and furious compared to GG's - for all trhe activity
you can't appreciate the music); also check out Wagner's Meistersinger
piece he did, the two Beethoven Symphonies, 5 and 6 (the Pastoral is
incomplete) and others.... some he never recorded but only played for
his own enjoyment at home (R. Strauss, etc.). Would there be private
recordings languishing in the Gould collection in Ottawa?

Hi all. I have just stumbled upon a GG recording/movie that is entirely
new to me. I am totally dumbfounded and knocked senseless.

I hope that the links will play for you. This is GG's entirely new
rendition of Ravel's "La Valse".  I am blown away.  GG has captured the
inner essence of this music much more ably than most orchestral
versions.

Now, this is what I call good "shock and awe".

What do you all feel?

Wow.....
