One is spoilt for choice in these shibboleths, no?  It is insane how few I've heard.  I still haven't really done the work to find out where the action is here, and where it's been.  I think I need to hear Ebène, Cuarteto Casals, who else?  Juilliard?  Maybe the Chilingirian?  ABQ?  Hollywood?  It's a no-duh problem....they are everywhere.  Routinization lurks at every turn.  To the archive!

Indeed. In what way can a Piano Concerto be "Impressionistic"?

Just a heads-up that the Gaspard de la Nuit blind listening game will be starting TOMORROW with the first movement of Ravel's piano masterpiece - "Ondine." Do sign up in this thread or that thread so you can compare up to twenty pianists' performances of "Ondine"!

Truly, the more the merrier! And our recordings run the gamut from legendary, to little-known but worthy, to one VERY famous pianist's only known performance of the piece.
