Musically Sentimental? Nice. Listen to what the composer said in words, not the tempo set on paper. To a performer who played the piece slow, he said, "Your waterfalls sound sad."Honestly, trust your own ears, paper is paper, music is music. Learn to differentiate. Personally, this is my favorite interpretation.

Great pianist and sophisticated composer. People, stop imposing your view on "too fast" or "too slow" one the others. This is ridiculous.

I would love to hear Perlemuter's edition, especially to understand your point of view. For me, this tempo sounds wonderful, not rushed, not too pensive. It flows where it may, like water itself. I will check out perlemuter's version, however.

I think this tempo is perfect for what Ravel was trying to get across--the sound of running water, or sprays of water. Yeah, it's supposed to be at 144bpm, but this just sounds cool.

I actually legitimately enjoy this more than other renditions. I feel like this tempo makes it flow better, just as water should. Really, just listen; the notes just come out effortlessly, and it has the light, airy feeling like water droplets on a pond.It seems like using rubato too liberally at a slower tempo makes it sound too heavy, too bogged down with extraneous "stuff."Just my $0.02, take what you like from it.
