Ravel - Tombeau de Couperin - Toccata (orch. Hesketh) by Ken Hesketh published on 2013-05-21T00:31:40Z Goettingen Symphonie Orchester, Christoph-Mathias Mueller dirigent Genre Orchestration Comment by Joonghyun Lee All hail Kenneth for this orchestration! 2025-01-13T15:56:33Z Comment by Sérgio Azevedo Very good orchestration, but I really think Ravel was right: it is almost impossible to hide the pianistic origin of the music... but remains a very good work indeed!! 2018-12-26T16:15:49Z Comment by Ken Hesketh Thank you, Kenneth! I feel sure that Ravel decided not to orchestrate the toccata not because of its pianism but because the Rigaudon ended the 4 mvts perfectly already... 2017-07-18T07:55:40Z Comment by Kenneth LaFave I was skeptical, as the toccata is the most pianistic piece in the suite, but this captures the spirit of the other orchestrated movements. Congratulations! 2017-07-18T00:22:05Z Comment by Nicolas Kingman Ken you get a few more hits lol. There is a group called Orchestration on line and someone said why hadn't someone orchestrated the Fugue and Toccata. Hope you are well. x 2015-06-25T06:38:21Z Comment by Sebastian Wurm | Composer Bravo! 2014-04-18T23:00:39Z Comment by Andrew Webb-Mitchell I don't think Ravel could have orchestrated this better himself. 2014-04-01T12:16:55Z Comment by panayiotisdemopoulos Ha! 2013-07-03T19:08:19Z
