No. I just don't really enjoy bombast.

You must be another one of those Irish idiots I've offended, greetings !

oups ! I find sometimes the accents a little destabilizing compare to what we are use to hear !! hihi ! but very nice " envolées" ...the sound of the piano is a little funny ! I guess also because of the old recording ! but there is character here, I'm a little " étourdie" dizzy? !!!

i think perlemuters 1955 recordings are the greatest. still, this one is mabe very fast but for me also very coniencing.different but still very enjoyable. thats why i give it 5 stars too.

I didn't like it.Listen to Argerich's recording. This is supposed to sound like water.

i also listened this piece by others pianists. For Jeux d'eau, Robert Schmitz did the best interpretation.

maybe i'm an idiot; but after listening to this piece performed by 6 different great pianists, very many times each, and enjoying it every single time, to me this performance does not ruin any phrases and delivers them with masterful technique and a, should i say, 'expected' deliverance, as if from a dream about the perfect performance of this historical piece.

wow... you really know how to use the dictionary. Sad thing though is that you are not saying anything. "beautifully evocative and insane blend of disparate " is incoherent. What an internet n00b.

I agree he's a bit of a w..ker. 'This performance owns...' is just psychobabble. However, there ARE dark & disturbing undercurrents in this piece that look directly forward to Ondine (1.39 onwards, marked in the score as 'chant')and it detracts from Ravel's genius to insist the whole piece is purely visual.
