It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The Ravel Concerto in G

I can see how you might find the outer movements of the Ravel Concerto somewhat discordant in places, depending on what your reference and previous experiences are. I think Ravel often uses these dissonances for humor in this work - I'm so used to them now (after decades of hearing this piece) that they don't surprise me nearly as much anymore. Your post is a good reminder of what a listener's first experience with this work could well be. My first experience hearing it live was with Martha Argerich and the LAPO under Mehta in the late 60's. I was so bowled over that I attended a repeat of the concert the next day! (It was also an incentive that Martha was a babe at that time!) I know Trpceski is an excellent player, so I'm sure the performance you heard was also excellent.
