Weissenberg- Debussy, Clair de lune

[AssassinSteven]

Is it okay that I'm tearing up?

[Grotrian192]

la version idéale, pour moi! Tout y est, on oublie le temps, on oublie le piano, et on se laisse emporter dans le rêve. Un souvenir poignant de ce grand Homme; merci Monsieur W.!

[likethecheeze321]

@Grotrian192 Ouais...c'est exactement ca. C'est un reve si doux. C'est l'ombre et la lumiere du coeur. Il coule comme une riviere dans la nuit. et il vous laisse avec la desire pour quelque chose de plus. Debussy est le premier exemple de la musique pour l'ame.

RIP Master Weissenberg

[AlejandroSanAntonio]

Why did twilight put this? Why? Poor Debussy, but he doesn't have the blame for write a masterpiece...

The bad thing is that everybody is talking about Clair de lune without know who was Debussy.

[fandra]

@AlejandroSanAntonio Twilight is shit!!!! great Debussy...

[Maryfamouslady]

5 minutes, 5 trop courtes minutes à mon gout..

[manonetteolivier36]

Twilight, :$<3

[miisrpattz]

I haven't got any words to describe this lovely song !

But thanks a lot Debussy and Weissenberg !

[benoit2970]

From 2:20 to 2:35, the pianist goes in overdrive! A pity, I don't think it's meant to be played that fast!

[Coliine24]

I love this song <3

[TheIlikeblack]

I listen to screamo. Hard core screamo. I listen to rock. Everyone that i know, knows tht i listen to tht...But Shhhh...I have a secret.....*whisper voice* I like Debussy!!!!(:

[HenriCaboot]

I was atleast excpecting applause on the end of the video..

[BigTuna1994]

My absolute favorite version of the masterpiece.

[VerUniqueV]

very well played! Alexis takes the time he needs to play it and that makes it really beautiful

[MirikuStar]

I love this interpretation so much.

This has moved me.

[ElissareN]

I'm playing this for my end of year presentation and I am definitely taking notes here!! but will that really make me as good as that? naah don't think so... I really wish I could though!!

[TheBlackCheeta]

@ElissareN I think you have to play it the way it means the most to you, don't copy someone else, that's what makes it most beautifull <3

I'm sure it'll be great, good luck ^^

[ElissareN]

@TheBlackCheeta Yeah thanks for the advice but what i meant was that I hoped my version was as beautiful, but i'll see wednesday what it'll be ^^

[TheBlackCheeta]

@ElissareN Good luck ^.^ I hope it goes well (I always get stressed out when I play for more then two people o_O )

[ElissareN]

@TheBlackCheeta Well it actually went pretty well but I was coming back from a really tiring run cause I was doing a little show at my dance school like an open class you know and it lasted too long!! I came back running like a beast and I made it!! but well it could've been better... I might post a response to get your opinion some time =D

[TheBlackCheeta]

@ElissareN I'm glad it went wel ^^ (and glad you made it in time XD, was the dance tyring as well or just the run? ^.^) I can imagine it's difficult to play a soft song like this when you're tired, don't know if I can do that... You know, I think the same thing everytime I play, that it could've gone better, I always remeber every small mistake, but in the end I just love the music, so as long as people like it I'm happy ^^. Is it the same with you or am I just weird that way? XD

[ElissareN]

@TheBlackCheeta The dance was tiring too yeah!! and don't worry it's the same for me ^^'

[TheBlackCheeta]

@ElissareN XD

[TheLol06]

I'm currently learning it! And it is simply beautiful it is magical.

[mallefries]

most beautiful performance ever?

[edward3710]

perfection!

[samoankingtx]

This song sounds like an allusion of how the beginning and end are sometimes the same thing

[Stunt2one]

I have this on a vinyl, I've listened to it for quite some years...and seems like the best as possible for it, I love maestro Weissenberg's interpretations and own works :)

[nicoejz]

Best version on Youtube.

[TheDionysiac]

I think this is Weissenberg's best Debussy. He doesn't rush it like he does Debussy's other works; it seems like he finds more value in this one.

I do wish this was a bit better quality, though.

[TheCharolastraStyle]

reminds me of the Darjeeling Limited.

it`s awesome; thanks so much

[mrmolinodelahoz]

This music is too tame for a man with such  energetic lightening bolts.

Even so, he plays Debussy very well indeed.

[veseli601]

Feeling of wonder.. Thank you for posting all this heritage of great Alexis Weissenberg!

[mubald]

The most beautiful peace for me ever wrote for a piano,with all the respect of the other composers

[elchicodelaparta]

@mubald jajaja ¿por qué todo el mundo se siente imelido a nombrar sus gustos como LA MÁS GRANDE OBRA ... de tal y tal?

¡¡cómo diablos alguien puede sentirse en la sapiencía absoluta como para designar tal o cual cosa como la máxima, ni siquiera en su vida propia!!

Somos gusanitos jugando a ser dioses.

[uvindian]

Not bad... Not bad at all!

[pr6pr6]

Almost as well as Walter Gieseking's version

[neela81]

Thank you. Perfection. Just as I dream it.
