Epithet Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Too bad her Gaspard de la nuit is a travesty. The Marc-André Hamelin videos are where the technique's at. Quote
Larry Kart Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Posted March 15, 2007 You want some Ravel, check out Un Barque and Alborada from Naida Cole: http://www.naidacole.com/web/music/index.php Just files, though, no video. Hamelin strikes me as though I were being struck ... as in beaten, pummeled, etc. Quote
mandrill Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) Her last name actually means FOX in Russian. Foxy Lady indeed! Cecil Taylor must be the main influence here. He's big among Russian intelligentsia- next only to John Zorn. Edited March 16, 2007 by Mandrill Quote

Hamelin strikes me as though I were being struck ... as in beaten, pummeled, etc. Guess I'll have to get RealPlayer going, but I have heard Cole's Gaspard before... Curious as to impact of Hamelin. He can keep things so soft and smooth during difficult passages and never indulges in the Cziffra 'fast = loud' equivalence. As for the Rachmaninov op. 39, no. 6 I have an MP3 of Sergio Fiorentino going at it at the same tempo, so I guess the Lisitsas didn't have the intended impact here. Is there a Richter? Quote
