Debussy: Prélude à l'après midi d'un faune (1/2)

[flrt311]

Who cares about the breath? It's so beautiful!! :D

[TheProphetEliza]

few, i was wondering whether i was going to get away with breathing in the middle of that phrase in my orcehstras performance! he totally pulled it off, so im going with that :P

[TheWillyJ16]

one of the best performances on youtube

[sylviebb91]

Sublime ! UN morceau de musique que Michael Jackson AIME grave <3

[ninakardec]

magique, merveilleux ... je plane :) .... je virevolte dans la foret magique avec les faunes et les elfes ... hop hop ... mon morceaux favoris de Debussy, et l'interprétation est réussie en plus. Du bonheur.

[jazzmunky]

This is the only piece of music that has actually caused my perception of time to slow down, it's very strange. Listened to it with the score and it went by quicker, but without the score it produces this strange effects. Could explain why in musical terms but would not really explain it.

[ilkinond]

Pity Debussy never wroye a flute concerto

[Jennifersboyd]

i can forgive him for taking a btreath, this piece is demanding on air!!!

[dasteufelhund]

No...it doesn't...it demands color, and control of air and color.

[danny221212]

@dasteufelhund It doesnt "demand" color, its simply (or rather quite complex) an evaluation of addition to orchestral color, such as the 2nd presentation of the theme, varied how? - By addition of harmony.

[dasteufelhund]

@danny221212 are you trying to school me? your perspective and mine are glass half full, or empty. So why don't you talk about harmony since you brought it up.

[rsamsonpicc]

It's nice to see that a professional flutist in a professional orchestra played the opening solo with a breath......flutist will know what I mean!

[mavcopizellonio]

you're right!

[jeddybear]

he didnt though

[cutepuppyeyes]

is this section a? or b? or both?

[eshed888]

Best version in youtube, uhh it's from princess tutu - when femio dances dressed as a cow - when i heard it in princess tutu i looked for it like a mad man - lucky i found it

P.S.

JAPAN KICKS ASS!!

[2007flutestar]

[VANESSAtheband]

debussy has a way with notes, ill put it that way

[ulsbolde89]

One of Debussy's wonderful and otherworldly pieces of music
