		Gaspard de la nuit, orchestrated by Marius Constant
		Gaspard de la nuit, composed in 1908, is at once the most demanding and the most revolutionary of his keyboard works, and altogether the most remarkable.
		The title identifies the inspiration for the work: Gaspard de la nuit was a book by Aloysius Bertrand (1807-1841, actually named Louis Bertrand) which contained verses, prose-poems and drawings relating to fantasies of imps, devils, nymphs, ill-fated lovers, and death and nightmares.

		He composed his three-movement piano suite Gaspard de la nuit between May and September 1908, and the set was premiered by Ricardo Viñes on January 9, 1909, at a concert of the Société Nationale de Musique in Paris.
		Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit settings are informed in a general way by the mood of Bertrand’s poems, but occasionally they seem to translate a line more specifically into sound.
		Constant reports that he was “haunted since adolescence by an obsession to undertake the most perilous of exercises: the orchestration of Gaspard de la nuit,” and he finally made good on this dream in 1988, with the support of the Ravel estate and the Durand publishing house.

		In 1956 de Groot was on the prestigious jury of the 1956 Queen Elisabeth Piano Competition of Brussels which awarded the prize to Vladimir Ashkenazy.
		De Groot was particularly fond of Impressionistic music and included Ravel's Jeux d'eau at the 1936 Vienna Competition, one of several performances that so impressed Von Sauer.
		Of great interest is the live recording of Ravel's Concerto in G from 1940 (specifically, Nov. 28 according to the Q Disc issue) with Eduard van Beinum and the Concertgebouw Orchestra.

		In Gaspard de La Nuit, they are refracted through fantasy and fairy tale.
		There are the aqueous flourishes of Ondine to be projected, the incessant tolling of Le Gibet to be maintained, the quasi-cinematic cross-cutting of the musical ideas in Scarbo to be held together; a lot is crammed into a work that lasts just over 20 minutes.
		French pianists figure prominently in the accounts of Gaspard currently available, from Robert Casedesus (Sony) and Vlado Perlemuter (Nimbus) to Cecile Ousset (Berlin Classics), Louis Lortie (Chandos) and Jean-Yves Thibaudet (Decca).

		It is I, it is Ondine brushing with these drops of water the resonant diamond panes of your window illuminated by the dull moonbeams; and here in the dress of moire, is the lady of the castle on her balcony gazing at the beautiful starry night and the beautiful slumbering lake.
		The death of Ravel's father Joseph in 1908 could have been one of the inspirations for his composition of the triptych Gaspard de la Nuit based on Bertrand's ghastly poems.
		Paracelsus, 1493 - 1541, was the first who dealt with the personification of element, Friedrich de la Motte-Fouque converted it to a fairy tale, E. Hoffmann and A. Dvorak set the story to music in their operas, respectively Undine and Rusalka.

		Both are terribly difficult pieces in their different ways: "Gaspard" for the lushness of its technical undergrowth, "Night Fantasies" for its off-center, ever-changing rhythmic life and the play of opposing meters between the two hands.
		The three pieces of "Gaspard de la Nuit" tend to produce performances accompanied by an underlying stress; it emanates from pianistic problems and is impossible to hide.
		Aimard's "Gaspard de la Nuit" is bathed deeply in the mysteries, sensualisms and grotesqueries of Aloysius Bertrand's poetry, his "Night Fantasies" shows a kind of serene elegance, with never a lurch or a start in the darting transformations.

		Aloysius Bertrand (1807-1841) introduced the prose poem to French literature and defined the macabre and grotesque in his collection Gaspard de la nuit (Gaspard of the Night), just as his contemporary Edgar Allan Poe had in English.
		And listen as the stasis and gloom of "Le gibet" becomes the frenetic leaping and spinning of the menacing gremlin Scarbo, who finally vanishes, not with a bang, but with the sudden exhalation of an exhausted wick extinguished as it falls.
		It is acknowledged that Gaspard de la nuit is the greatest technical challenge in the standard repertory.

		On the rare occasions that Ravel does in fact resort to metronome markings, as in four of the five Miroirs, it is Rudy who is marginally closer to what is requested, I certainly prefer his sprightlier gait in "Alborada del gracioso"—one of the very few occasions where for me Crossley disappoints.
		I also think Rudy's "Le gibet" from Gaspard de la nuit (phrased and shaded as subtly as his "Oiseaux tristes" and "La vallee des cloches" in Miroirs), makes Crossley's conception of tres lent sound just a little sluggish.
		Rudy's is even lighter, and as for his "Ondine" (Gaspard), that's truly the stuff of dreams.

	Miroirs and Gaspard de la Nuit
		In the half century of musical exploration since his death we seem to have forgotten Ravel's stature as an intrepid experimentalist -- and nowhere was he more experimental than in Miroirs and Gaspard de la Nuit.
		On September 25, 1896 Ricardo Viñes, the pianist who would premiere Miroirs and Gaspard de la Nuit as well as others of Ravel's works, wrote in his diary: "Ravel stayed till eleven in the evening.
		The texts by Aloysius Bertrand (1807-1841), a supernatural poet esteemed by Baudelaire and Mallarmé, demonstrate a fantastic and macabre imagination akin to Edgar Allen Poe, whom Ravel also admired.

		The San Francisco Symphony's set last week did the reverse, with the full forces for the first work (Marius Constant's 1988 orchestration of Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit), fewer for the next (Saint-Saëns' third Violin Concerto), and fewest of all for the finale (Haydn's Symphony No. 103).
		That said, Gaspard de la nuit was a quixotic choice.
		As orchestration, it's marred only by his insistence on getting in every last legato line in the original as a legato line in the orchestration, which makes for some clotted textures in places where Ravel was presumably counting on the piano's natural decay to thin things out.

	Aloysius Bertrand: First French Prose Poet--Michael Benedikt, Intro./Translations
		His major work, a book-length series of scenes of (mostly) 14th and 15th-century life, is entitled Gaspard de la Nuit and is subtitled "Fantasies in the manner of Rembrandt and Callot." Gaspard of The Night was begun in l827--but was left uncompleted at the poet's death.
		Callot, on the contrary, is the blustering joker who swaggers through the town, causes disturbances in taverns, makes love to loose women, believing in nothing but his rapier and his blunderbus--his deepest earthly concern being keeping his moustache waxed.
		Composed in l908 and entitled Gaspard de la Nuit, they are among that remarkable composer's most startling creations.
