[JHighland1]

This is incredible

[Farvayon]

Astoundingly beautiful.

[jammingtons]

amazing crescendo @ 3:41

[jllsdoe]

It's as if he's making love with the piano, tenderly stroking the keys, mouthing the rhythm of the music, responding to every note as if it were orgasmic...beautiful

[seanchristopherfranc]

@jllsdoe not just orgasmic...its as if some elemental being was conceived by that man's orgasm: conceived, incubated, and rendered into life on those well stroked keys...the afterbirth steaming on the bench that was so recently caressed by his lusty buttocks.

[ljpmn79]

I love this version of Pagodes. I wonder, though, what Debussy would have thought. He wrote in the music that it should be played almost without nuance. I'm learning to play this, and when you play it strictly, the Japanese character in the music seems to shine.

Still, Cabassi is a genius. I've never heard it played with more emotion.

peccato per l'audio!!! davide sei un mito!

[Sk8rboy9782]

that was very neat to see somebody with soo much passion play this piece, It gave me alot of insight-Bravissimo!

[kpshf86]

bravo!

[JHighland1]

Amazing! Anyone can play loud, but to play softly with these dynamics and colors, wow.

[richclayderman]

I owe Debussy my first kiss...this is amazing

[doemmle]

absolutely great interpretation! the only one which gives me goosebumps..

[tigersmoo888]

@doemmle - I know the feeling! It made me calmed, relaxed, a little sleepy. It also gave me goosebumps and a stomach knot -is that normal? :)

[PianoNerd95]

LOVE THIS PIECE.

I'm learning it right now, so i wanna see how it sounds like.

I wish the volume was louder though... :(

[dcailin28]

I used to think this beautiful piece was played by two pianos, how naive of me!! Absolutely best interpretation of this piece. Exactly how Debussy would have played it I would imagine....

[chagabum]

Yes, i agree to you.

I don't often discover such an awesome pianist. he's really a poet of music. He lives the music when he plays it !

[mrmolinodelahoz]

Davide Cabasssi is a poet of the piano.

He always bings me to the point of tears with his etherial spirit.

When one lives in Lago di Como, one is inspired by a beautiful world.

[seanchristopherfranc]

@mrmolinodelahoz so true so true...and when one lives in Mechanicsburg one can be inspired by a pile of used tires...no?

[mit181]

@seanchristopherfranc Logically no. The statement said nothing about the influence of the environment in general. It simply set up the conditional 'If you live in Lago di Como, then you are inspired by a beautiful environment'. You can't substitute into the antecedent of the conditional anything to do with Mechanicsburg as a result.

If the influence of the environment on imagination was IMPLIED, then that still wouldn't follow. Arguments from analogy usually fail.

[seanchristopherfranc]

@mit181 ...i know nothing about the study of logic or whether analogies produce weak "arguments" in a classroom. I do find the implication funny that being from a beautiful locale can create a certain sensibility in this musician or any musician. On the other hand, I think composers can be influenced by their surroundings, which can be heard in their music. But performers, no.

[mit181]

@seanchristopherfranc You are fortunate: I have the misfortune of studying this damn subject as a very small part of my degree. Eugh. And I don't disagree with your point. It was the way it was put across...

[Furnardan]

@seanchristopherfranc As a performer, and having played the Estampes myself, I must argue your statement about performers. Same as the composer was inspired by surroundings and images, the ideas of Eastern Asia for Pagodes, the performer, in attempt to reflect the same experience the composer desired to inspire in his music, may also be inspired by surroundings. Also, a reason for the many styles and variety of music across the world came from Musicians inspired by their different surroundings.

[varsitypianist2012]

BEAUTIFUL. I'm doing this piece and when I do it, the last page with the quintuplets, sixteenths, and triplets slows down so my time runs around 6:15. Awesome stuff...
