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.

    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.

    This shares some musical material (as well as titles of movements) with his earlier composition from 1993, "Earth and the Great Weather". It feels deliberate, and in some ways like a reworking/reinterpretation of some moments from that earlier piece... It makes me curious to hear his thoughts on the connection between the two pieces for him.
