Maurice Ravel — Gaspard de la nuit (1908) (Szuyu Su, piano) [w/ score]
One of Maurice Ravel’s most famous and virtuosic masterpieces, “Gaspard de la nuit” (Treasurer of the Night), and its subtitle “Trois poèmes pour piano d'après Aloysius Bertrand” (Three Poems for Piano By Aloysius Bertrand), takes from Aloysius Bertrand’s collection of poems of the same name. The three poems Ravel chose from this collection depict dark and foreboding imagery, such as the evil seduction of a water spirit, the grotesque world surrounding a hanging corpse, and the terror induced by a menacing gremlin. With exceedingly complex use of rhythm and intricate phrases, ingenious harmonies and colors, and profound structure, Gaspard de la nuit has been famously called one of the most difficult pieces in the entire piano repertoire. In particular, the third movement “Scarbo” is a ferocious technical achievement. Ravel quotes about this piece, “I wanted to make a caricature of romanticism. Perhaps it got the better of me.”
My personal favorite recording of this piece that I’ve heard, this recording was brilliantly performed by Taiwanese pianist Szuyu Su at her Spring 2021 Graduation Recital with the Curtis Institute of Music, which premiered on 4/23/2021.

The brain constantly perceives and creates patterns among ...

The music was inspired by this passage from 'As One Put Drunk Into the Packet-Boat,' a poem by John Ashbery." ...

    This is one of the most beautiful trombone concertos l have heard yet. My hat is absolutely off to Ms. Wagner for composing such a wonderful piece. I'm also sorry to say that l now have a very hard time enjoying an Alessi performance since l became aware that he refused to support Kara Kizer when she was raped by a fellow NYP musician, and even withdrew his support from Amanda Stewart for supporting Kara. Amanda had previously been his number one student at Julliard and was on track for tenure in the NYP bone section until she dared to stand up for a fellow female brass player who had been literally raped. So yeah, l really despise Joe right now, but l love this piece.

    I love this piece (and this recording) so much. It’s no surprise Caroline is a very competent string player herself… the way she uses color in this work is just so beautiful, intuitive, and precise. In fact, I learn more about string writing by studying her scores than I do from the likes of Lachenmann and Ferneyhough.
