The Bruno Walter / Paul Wittgenstein 1937 recording is available on you-t:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qERkDYhLlMM&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLB8384D170A1E55BD

In the Scherchen/ Paul Wittgenstein 1957 Tahra CD issue, which I have downloaded from e-music, the playing is very inaccurate & disappointing to my ears.

But I only noticed the Walter/Wittgenstein now and am looking forward to listening to it; it is probably much better ...

I'd have to vote for Ivo Pogorelich's recording of "Gaspard du la Nuit." Simply electrifying.

Brian, thanks much for posting this - it's fantastic. For me Sudbin's body language is almost too much, but never mind: the playing and interpretation are spectacular. Makes me really look forward to his upcoming recording.

I love the Dutoit box of Ravel. It's one of my absolute favorites. But my favorite Daphnis is Munch with the Boston on Living Stereo. Spectacular recording.

Bump.

Herbert Schuch's Miroirs is new on the list, for me.

And Jarnot/Deutsch in Sheherazade, the baryton & piano version, coupled with Duparc's Melodies.

Both cheap at JPC:

BBC Music Magazine features a really nice recording of Daphnis and Chloe (BBC Scottish SO, Runnicles). It is very poetic and beautifully recorded - best I have heard:
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

I've been considering learning one of the big Ravel pieces so I looked thru to see which ones I had favourite recordings of to use as references. And well...

Miroirs - Anna Vinnitskaya, Beatrice Rana, Herbert Schuch, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, Nicholas Angelich, Severin von Eckardstein
Gaspard de la nuit - Alexander Lonquich, Anna Vinnitskaya, Claudio Arrau, Herbert Schuch, Nicholas Angelich, Steven Osborne
Tombeau de Couperin - Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, Steven Osborne, Yeol Eum Son

Kind of makes one feel overwhelmed at the sheer amount of pianistic talent concentrated on Ravel in the last few decades.

(Though not for too long. Leaning towards Tombeau currently.)
