I've met Beatrice Rana briefly when I was in a master class she gave. She roasted the hell out of me lol. I was still in awe of being in the presence of a truly world class pianist.
@@cadenzalien4554 are you talking about the Prague recording, if so not my jam at all. Recently discovered Robert Casadesus much more interesting interpretation to me.
Dude the color she makes and the atmphispher at 9:19, u can’t even hear each note she’s playing it’s all blended with great touch creating such a dramatic atmpoaphere
10:41 I don't think I've ever heard this section played with such gentle, resplendent subtlety! This is now up there with the Laplante and Bavouzet recordings as my favorite interpretations of Une barque sur l'océan. I could listen to Rana's mind-meltingly gorgeous playing of this section all day 😍😍
A few years ago flying on an airplane, I choose a classical playlist and dozed off to sleep. When this suite came up, I remember distinctly waking up to attentively hear her enrapturing and captivating playing.
Omg her voicing and her mastery of nuances is simply incredible, I didn t know it was possible to perform these pieces like this, this is a totally new miroirs for me 😍 definitely she is i my top tier pianist
Very well professionally executed performance. Great control , touch , colors. There are many beautiful moments in her playing. Yet, I'd often catch myself thinking that some of Ms. Rana's phrasing, rubato and dynamics choices were absolutely foreign to the pieces. They were so exaggeratedly presented that it felt like I am not listening an "impressionism" but rather an "expressionism". In my modest opinion there's no better performance of this cycle than Richter's live recording of his recital in Prague in 1965.
Jacques Poissenot Etonnant comme elle accentue les nuances : cela donne encore plus de mystère à ces Miroirs une des perles de toute la musique pour piano !
It is not only technical in Beatrice, there is a warmth there, a desire that you feel human and close to musical art, I do not know with which other artists the concept of Beatrice Rana would be identifiable, perhaps with Rostropovich? At least he's my favorite pianist right now.
The notes and bars are wider so I thought it was easier to read on a small screen if people watch the video on their phone. I know that it's not worth the urtext though
Horrible version...Is she suddenly losing her mind like Pogorelich? How can she compare her psychedelic "readings" to Lortie 's or Laplante or to the Great Richter...? And she had this level of talent! Truly this appears to me as a messy à la 'Yuja Wang show-off session" avec la robe... with the infantile disastrous eccentric "attempt" to do "otherwise"... Erreur d'achat que je regretterai longtemps.
@@lucas__machado N'êtes vous pas capable de respecter que des auditeurs un peu informés aient une opinion différente de la vôtre, monsieur Machado?...ou devez-vous dénigrer tout détracteur de vos promotions sur CZcams? Fabuleuse dans son Chopin chez Atma mais lamentable ici dans Ravel, je m'interroge seulement sur ce qui se passe dans sa tête c'est tout et je ne suis pas celui dont vous pouvez vous moquer publiquement en décrétant justice.

I'm not wild about it either but I wouldn't call it horrible. Ravel is all about melody (he said so himself) and in this interpretation the melody is often lost. It also makes it sound like Stravinsky.
0:00 : Noctuelles
4:49: Oiseaux Tristes
9:19 : Une barque sur l'océan
17:20 : Alborada del gracioso
24:25 : La vallée des cloches

😍 what did you play in the masterclass if I may ask?
Ms Rana is a phenomenal, and strangely underpromoted, artist. I heard her play this suite in recital; it was a magical, unforgettable experience.
I've never heard Noctuelles played like this before.
This is like a completely new piece to my ears. Beautiful and thank you!
Same here I’m hypnotized this is so good, so lively.
I recommend listening to Richter's interpretation of Miroirs too.
@@cadenzalien4554 are you talking about the Prague recording, if so not my jam at all. Recently discovered Robert Casadesus much more interesting interpretation to me.
@@Cypsky yes, I was talking about the Prague recording. I'm going to check Casadesus rn
Where is the beauty? It hurts my ears. Ah yes she is beautiful, true, but her Ravel is ugly to me.

Best interpretation of noctuelles I have ever heard
When Rana plays Ravel, the world stops turning 🤩
A few years ago flying on an airplane, I choose a classical playlist and dozed off to sleep. When this suite came up, I remember distinctly waking up to attentively hear her enrapturing and captivating playing.
Omg her voicing and her mastery of nuances is simply incredible, I didn t know it was possible to perform these pieces like this, this is a totally new miroirs for me 😍 definitely she is i my top tier pianist
The clarity in Noctuelles is incredible
I had never heard of this pianist before this incredible performance but you better believe I will hear more of her! Wow!
She really is one of my favorite young pianist. An incredible touch and a masterful sense of nuances
Very well professionally executed performance. Great control , touch , colors. There are many beautiful moments in her playing.

Эта интерпретация очень оригинальна, магия звука завораживает. Современный Равель. Спасибо за знакомство с Беатрис Рана
The best interpretation . Gieseking - rana
Richter in Prag is the ultimate interpretation imo
Jacques Poissenot
Etonnant comme elle accentue les nuances : cela donne encore plus de mystère à ces Miroirs une des perles de toute la musique pour piano !
The virtuosity. Omg. 🙌
Masterfully distorted!

0:13 Windows error ;)
why did you choose the practical edition?why not urtext ones?
The notes and bars are wider so I thought it was easier to read on a small screen if people watch the video on their phone. I know that it's not worth the urtext though
@@lucas__machado It was more comfortable to watch.
I was just curious about the reason.
Noctuelles sound like hyper stereoid active mosquitoes on a hot summer evening instead of moths, but it sounds really good anyways. 10/10
rana based
Is this the practical edition version?
와.... 진짜
👍
DAMN Miss Rana Killed THIS
No

Je dois avouer que je ne comprends vraiment pas 😅
