Jeux d’eau

So a six-week hosepipe ban (covering all non-essential use of water) has just started in an area including Maynooth:

(I’m a little surprised that we haven’t been served with an official written notice about this but I’ll observe it anyway.)

Since we won’t be able to play with real water for a while, how about the next best thing in the form of this wonderful performance of Maurice Ravel‘s beautiful Jeux d’eau by Martha Argerich? This is the only version of this piece I have on CD, and I’d be happy to receive other suggestions through the comments box, but I think it must be hard to beat for the sheer fluidity of the playing.
