@mikejr41387 yes I do.

I was obsessed with this work during most of my 20s. Now, decades later, it is such a satisfying experience to encounter it again in this interpretation by Diane Walsh. I would certainly second the prior commentator's appreciation of her performance. I would encourage anyone who loves this piece by Debussy to also listen to Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's performance, also preserved here on YouTube.

Very very nice! She was noted in the NY Times today for her new CD of the Schubert Piano Sonatas. Clearly her technique is excellent but equally, if not more important (to me) is the music is "musical". She has a very beautiful, musical interpretation in this sensitve and refined performance of this piece by Debussy. Bravo!

[PurpleGravityMusic]

Beautifully interpreted! Thank you, Diane. I agree with others about her tempo, fluidity and overall effect - all marvelously appropriate.

[ltyr2001]

At 3:20 she shows how delicious this music can be! Eveybody always chops this part up, but this gal delivers!

BRAVO!

[FlamingoReaper]

DOH!! 2:15

I love this rendition

[nostalgiacreep]

i'll forgive the mistake since her tempo control is the best i've heard in this piece :D

lots of people play it too fast, it sounds wonderful when kept reasonably calm like this. a real fave of mine :)

[SailorVVV]

the last note was so sad

[wolfho1219]

She is highly caliber,i can't stop to listening her music these few days,but why she seem like not very famous??

[vasabrina]

Reflets dans l'eauis NO1!!veeeeeery wonderful.

[Vlasta4444]

you should hear her Mozart - really great!

[fluterific00]

thank you for posting this. it was wonderful. I have a question about counting, as I am learning this piece for myself. Where do the beats fall on Measure 24 with the 64 count notes? It would help greatly, if someone could answer. Thanks

[fluterific00]

woops, didn't mean to post twice

[TimoAlti]

So soothing, I closed my eyes while listening to this piece of music.

[archangelz1106]

Undoubtedly the best interpretation I've ever heard since I've joined youtube in 2005!!!!!

[wanggengubl]

best interpretation

[mattgamma]

I first heard Diana play nearly thirty years ago and was completely wowed by her performance... as I am now, thirty years later.

[joeshmoe32]

Diane Walsh's playing is impeccable and warm. She really has it all! What a pleasure!!

[lwhitesell]

Diane Walsh has always been a genuine artist, and I am so pleased to find her finely polished and musically sensitive rendition of "Reflets" so fresh and inspiring!

[PSearPianist]

Excellent video and playing!

Diane Walsh is class personified and class pianofied!
