Le jardin féerique est l'un des plus beaux moments d'enchantement musical qui existent.

[Retriever-nknl]

As a child I loved this music, I lived at Lake Constance, on the Gehrenberg, between apple trees and a panoramic view of the lake and the Alps. Very early, when no one was awake yet, I was taken up by these sounds. I heard them from inside, as if in a clearing by a small lake. And it echoed back from the forest, and sometimes God himself seemed to be playing along: Ducks quietly beaking and immediately silent again. Holy peace, God's beautiful nature ... And Ravel, this infinitely enchanting mystic.

The last section was so breathtaking it's difficult to express one's feelings after hearing it.

[tonymiddlehurst]

Ravel was just a genius, there is none of his music that I don't like and a lot that I adore. This piece falls very much into the second category.

[Rx-mnfv]

For me, Ravel will always be the sorcerer of music. There is always something magical about his music, and this score superbly delineates it. Bravo to Conductor and Orchestra for so fully falling under his spell.

[Enr]

Every musician performing Ravel looks transported and dreamy

[homersimpsonIV]

This is such a standout performance, such a loving realization of the tenderness, awe and wonder of one of Ravel's most exalted orchestral works.

[dancouper]

One of my favorite Ravel Piece, beautifully performed

[jerrera]

I have often felt that the last movement is like ascending in to heaven.

[DavidRobinson-rjun]

Ravel can exquisitely capture what I remember was for me my first childhood experiences of reverie.

[steve.schatz]

What a wonderful performance, which brought me to tears. Conductor and orchestra in complete ensemble, committed to a vision. Made my morning. Thinking about this piece as my next indoor cycling journey.

[ShoyuTao]

Transparent, gossamer and shimmering Ravel done to perfection.

[MichaelConwayBaker]

What a great pleasure to listen/watch these great musicians. And what a great composer was Ravel!

[DidierLannoy]

A 6 mn démarre "Laideronnette, princesse des Pagodes". Uune merveille d'écriture musiclae parmi d'autres de ce ce génie... Envisage de l'utiliser dans mon prochain film fiction

[michaelmiller]

What an excellent performance of a masterful composition!

[rozart]

From 17:15 is super peaceful.
Make me miss Karlskrona countryside in the southern Sweden.

[EverGreenElephant]

Große Klasse! Vielen Dank für das Veröffentlichen auf Youtube.

Will American audiences ever learn that a respectful pause at the end of a piece, and before any applause, allows everyone to fully appreciate and digest a piece? This is how it's done!
