And the original piano version? I don't know how you get more dynamics out of a piano than from a whole orchestra but there it is. I have Askenasy playing the piano version and also him conducting the PO with his, slightly revised, version of Ravel's orchestration. I've often wished there was an orchestral version with Carl Palmer on drums!!

BTW, don't rip the vinyl, buy a remastered version. They have cleaned up a lot of the 70's recording inadequacies. You know the music is worth the money!
