Wtf! The slow movement is a stroke of gensui and perfectly acts as a prelude to the finale.
His original slow movement was this -
Also why is Korstick barely mentioned around here? Possibly the most consistently brilliant modern Complete Sonata sets.
1st movement, if anyone wants to check it out.
Yes, I know. The only thing I like about the second movement is the transition to the third movement. When I revisited this piece recently when I was back in Oz, I only played through the outer movements. Did not touch the middle one. I don’t like the slow movement of the tempest either. For some reason, I fell completely out of love with that piece after learning it.
Korstick’s set is excellent. And randomly, his Rachmaninoff 3rd was awesome too.
Aite, I have becummah a bit in love wiff da Ravel noble waltzes.
So far heard da Vol a numbah of times and da Grosvenator, vastly prefer da Vol.
What are yo recummendations in diz?
Pogorelich 
In no particular order Gieseking, Richter, Fiorentino, Casadesus, Perlemuter…
I second Richter & Gieseking 
Zimerman, de Larrocha and Laplante have versions worth hearing too, though I’m at odds with all three (five really) for one reason or another myself.
Richter is my go to in that piece.
It was never a favourite of mine but Volodos really convinced me with his interpretation.
The Sonatine has always been my favourite Ravel piano work aside from Gaspard which is undoubtedly his masterpiece.
Miroirs
I only really like the middle pieces from Miroirs (une barque and alborada). I like the sonatine a lot, as well as la valse, the pavane and jeux d’eau.
Basicly all of Ravel’s piano music is great
He cheated by writing such a small amount though 
Even harder!

As much as I enjoy his sonorities, listening to da Pogo sense of style and rhythm when I have da Vol version in my mind… I made it to number 3. I did check out his Scarlatti earlier today, amazing, loved it.
Right, next
