Michelangeli plays Debussy Images 2/3 - Poissons d'or

[Fredericmo]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

[SonitiVeri]

Very nice! The delicate notes are played gracefully and artistically, without excess percussiveness.

[h0bgawblin]

@SonitiVeri perfect explanation thank you. I absolutely agree

[werq34ac]

pardon the french, but the title means fishes of gold right?

[chwatermelon]

@werq34ac yes or 'gold fish'

[Gebissimo]

[looney1023]

how hard is this song? like what grade is it listed as. i can play most of his children's corner and suite bergamasque pieces. im not sure about this though. 2:42 and out looks brutal!

[musicangel25]

this song is listed in the licentiate diplomas LOL

[VYLVicky]

@looney1023 It's ARCT Performers, like, the top grade.

[looney1023]

@VYLVicky

yeah i guess ill stick with his preludes lol

[browny333]

@looney1023 it is listed as an LRSM piece

On ne saura jamais si Claude de France aimait la pêche ou le poisson. Manger est une truite est une chose, la faire cuire une autre, la pêcher ne pardonne pas. Mais composer des la musique pour piano intitulée Poisson d'Or, ou La Truite, ou la symphonie Le Saumon d'Hellen Grincht, ne fait pas de Michelangeli un végétarien. À quand une sonate Tartare, un concerto d'Avril ou un quatuor Aquarium ? Chaque note ici est un hameçon, les doigts frétillent, bref c'est beau.

[rjr1967]

Ha I wish I had the courage to play that last note with a ping instead of trying to make it tinkle (it never works).

[sorobji]

Absolutely incomparable playing.

[hadsell1962]

@sorobji Agreed - Unhuman - listen at 2:41. I teach his technic. It took me 40 years of hard work to figure it out and teach it to my students. The lower arm can never be used. That's why he is always straight. It takes the strain off the Coraco Brachialis and keeps the Bicep Brachii from engaging at the shoulder. Notice the upward moton of the wrist "just" before he moves his upper arm. He could do it, but he could NOT understand it.

[JoFrSc]

Brilliant, brilliant playing - despite the fairly poor quality!
