Ravel - Gaspard de la Nuit

[getsiegs]

What a terrifying piece to learn, hear, perform  sort of an old video and very far from perfect, but I’m curious if anyone has any particular impressions/suggestions.

Apologies in advance for the poor audio/video quality (if anyone knows how to get rid of the background hiss let me know)!

Gaspard isn't in my regular listening, so it's hard for me to give specific feedback, but it sounds quite sturdy and confidently executed. I think your buildup to the climax of Ondine was quite eloquently done, that's usually what I'd consider the critical part of the piece and I figure is one of the more intimidating parts to lead into in performance.

I enjoyed the overall atmosphere, especially in Ondine. One small suggestion would be to let a few of the quieter passages breathe a little more, as the contrast could make the climaxes feel even more dramatic.
