bperboy Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 ^^ Piano solo arrangement? I've got the Cleveland Orchestra directed by Lorin Maazel.. quite good. I'm having difficulty in imagining a lone piano doing justice to the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Arrangement? It was originally written for the piano. It is easily my favorite piano piece (or, more correctly, "suite of pieces") of all time. Her rendition is quite good so far (I've gotten just past the Old Castle), if you want a cheap entry point into the solo piano version. EDIT: Oh jesus, I just got to the Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks/Ballet of the Chicks in their Shells, this version is wonderful. EDIT #2: Okay, she doesn't do a perfect job of keeping time, but it's still quite good, and it's a modern recording so there's that. Nothing will ever match the power and pomp of a full orchestra, Ravel really did a wonderful job on that, so you kind of have to get past that to appreciate the piano version. I'm a pianist, so it wasn't difficult for me at all (to get past that as a listener). It certainly helps that I'm predisposed towards loving the sound of solo piano. That said, this has probably more dynamic range than any other piano piece I know. I also have to admit to having "grown up" with the Philips silver line version, which has both versions on one CD. I've actually been tempted to learn it, myself. Edited August 17, 2009 by Dusty Chalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bperboy Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Arrangement? It was originally written for the piano. Oh my, guess I just assumed it was an orchestral work. Thanks for the correction.. I'll have to look into the piece further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 It's certainly worth reading about, if you love it anywhere near as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bperboy Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 It's certainly worth reading about, if you love it anywhere near as much as I do. I don't listen to it terribly frequently, but I did make a note on the iTunes file as to when the Great Gate of Kiev started... quite epic, but I imagine it'd be even moreso if I heard Cleveland Orchestra perform it in Severance Hall.

Dusty Chalk Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) I'm thinking you should probably hear either the Byron Janis version or one of the Vladimiar Ashkenazy performances. I have yet to hear the Kempf myself, but it's widely praised. EDIT: The version on the Philips Silver Line version was played by Alfred Brendel, so I'd recommend that one, too.
