Can't really get the cadenza part out of my head after listening to it yesterday at Lincoln Center performed by NYPhil under David Robertson's baton. This is an exciting and beautiful composition. Worth mentioning is, it is a non-traditional one movement piano concerto where it has dramatic contrasting effect compare to usual-light-hearted temperament of most piano concerti.
As usual, you can find that there are "chord-sweeping" sessions dominating the piano part in Ravel's works. One thing special about this is Ravel combined his unique style of harmony with some jazzy effect. You can enjoy the visual excitement when you watch it live. But without listening live it radiates same excitement.
Here is a version by Richter. Part II is very exciting as it is building up to the climax (cadenza). You can feel the gradual inclination of the intensity and yes it is so excitng.
Part I
