Debussy - "Clair de Lune"

[bellgene13]

I'm a magician and this is one the most beautiful pieces of music that I have eever heard.I use it in my routines.It adds class to mywhole show.

[huki07]

This is wonderful. I imagine this music to play in heaven

[pianohorse]

It is good, but not as good as it being played with the simplicity of the piano.

[brandonscherrer]

Nice! What orchestra is it?

[BaronWeeren]

@brandonscherrer you may want to open your eyes and watch the beginning of the video again...

[brandonscherrer]

@BaronWeeren oh, I just skipped that and started from the beginning of the piece.

[SmellyPrincezz]

Beautiful!!!!..just close your eyes and let your soul soarrrrrrrr......

[pixelated111]

Oh my god...orchestrated...this sounds so much more beautiful! I love it! There is no amount of words that can describe how happy, how touched this makes me feel. All my problems diminish before it. I feel like crying...

[pharmaboy360]

This is a nice interpretation, but this is a piano song and should only be played on piano. These guys were perfect playing it, yet it sounds worst than an amateur playing it on piano

[CommonOfficeSupplies]

@pharmaboy360 Are you feeling ok in the head. This is one of the best recordings of Clair de Lune I have ever heard. I hope that you have some notion about what you are talking about my friend, musically I mean, because you might want to be prepared in talking a verbal beating about your comment

[MSheekey]

I want this played at my funeral

[elphie1415]

@MSheekey Same here. My best friend and I play piano and I asked him to play this at my funeral.

[thedrumosphere]

The composition is unique in it's beauty, Wolfgang Sawallisch has become one of my favorite conductors in recent years. . .

[Celestios2]

I like this version. It has a living and breathing quality, not like some others I have heard that might be technically perfect, but give the impression of a synthetic, mechanical run through the motions. This version really seems to me the way symphonic ought to sound, alive.

[ziriguidumtelecoteco]

O original é para piano, certo? De quem é o arranjo para orquestra?

[WiggyWittgenstein]

This and Mahler's 5th, and you have my tears.

[PinkLipGlossKS]

that ending was so intense..

[luses30]

Que obra belíssima. Linda melodia!

[suexx09]

l'amour cette chanson tellement .. me fait pleurer et c'est mon lullabuy .. sa parfaite <3 .. Debussy <3 =)

[mabellehardie]

Makes me cry.

[jeffs60s]

And to think, Claude didn't want to be a musician, he wanted to be a painter. His mother wanted him to be a composer. I'm glad mom won out.

[pixelated111]

@jeffs60s I think music has the power to sway your emotions so much more

[fernandochiarelli]

just debussy forever

[prahacitylife]

god its fking good!!!! Not good, perfect <3

[enaralva]

You are young, therefore you think that in your wedding you will order this superb music to accompany such event. I would use it in a divorce because it goes more with the recovery of freedom.

[antar1485]

There's probably one guy who has to sit in a basement office and has to instantly authorize every replay button

[LRClifford02]

I enjoy classical music and it has stood the test of time. This is a very enjoyable and relaxing piece.

[Psico5]

@LRClifford02 is not "classical" its impressionist.

[mstarks11]

And this is what music is supposed to sound like!

[mary43247]

twilighttttttttt

[mstarks11]

@mary43247 This was famous before twilight. Get a grip on yourself.

[Rhyddry]

@mstarks11 hipster debussy?

[89murph]

@mary43247 Do the world a favour, kill yourself.

[renji928]

@mary43247 go kill yourself stupid bitch

[bufetman]

2:19 this part gives me chills, its amazing piece of music....

[zockerbagci]

goose pimples feeling ......

[lacelizabeth]

brilliant

[mireSERBIA]

This is THE perfect song... Have no words...

[Peppi94]

Beautiful. Beautiful.

[bslaozora]

@Edwardgfan

it HAS gone beyond words.

[Oceansandblue]

awwww yeah 240p

[Dawar55]

Somehow just takes me back in time, any time in the past, a past in which I never was but this just takes me there. Example 19th century Europe.

[TheWingus]

No matter how many times I listen to this I seriously still get chills every time I hear that first measure

[ReIog]

Wow.

[dinhodanoninho]

IF THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE HEAVEN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE DOES!!! I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS FOR 4 DAYS IN A ROW AND CANNOT STOP. KKK

[3423ladyblue]

@dinhodanoninho It's so beautiful, that's why.

[shuiguo1990]

This is the only song that could make me cry

[jordan04n]

Perfection at its best.....

[TheGogodiego]

bellizimo!!! y pensar que el autor original no queira que supieran sobre esta obra porque creyo que seria rechasada!!!! 1890 creo

[ceeztehday]

im 17. i guess you can call me a hipster/hooligan who is into indie music, staying out late and rebeling against parents. but you would never think that this is my favorite song.

[sparky7327]

gave me tingles :D

[JAmeixa]

I miss the piano ressonance...

[EasternMerchant]

while most composers reflect of human emotion through their music..... Dedussy reflects the universe at large!

[AttemptingToBeBusy]

That nod at the end... "spot on" he says :)

[KaTuMeLiNa]

;,( MAKES ME REMEMBER TIMES OF MY LIFE....

[chuhangchun]

a very sweet piece

[AgentDC76]

Beautiful beyond description. :-)

[killerfurball]

This music is contentment...pure contentment

[edshift]

Best orchestral arrangement and performance of this I've heard.

This resonates with me like I'm a tuning fork.

Only bit of classical music I'm really enthusiastic about. Go

Clair de Lune is my favourite piece of music.

[kernellmann]

Realmente adoro el modo en que el director acaricia las notas suavemente como si estuvieran palpables, como termina, tomandolas suavemente entre su mano, como pide las notas, poco a poco, como una mar en calma, como una lluvia que refresca el corazón mismo de la naturaleza. La interpretación: delicada, magistral, muy bien cuidada. Gracias por tan bello video. Magnífico.

[superbelladonna]

It must be an honour to be able to play this... Ö ♥

[iluvj35u5chri5t]

I'm still young yet and have no intentions of getting married to anyone in particular at the moment.....but I am not having a traditional wedding march song at my weddng.no sir. I am planning on using this song for my bridal processional. It's a beautiful idea I think.

[0428733]

@iluvj35u5chri5t I might steal your lovely idea.

[JoNnYShizzle]

You would have to be insane to not get chills down the spine with the violins starting at 2:50

[xffghhjf]

WOOOOOOW!!! IT'S WONDERFULLLLLL!!! I LIKE IT!!! HURRAY rderonge AND THE ORCHESTRA!!! LIKE!!! IT!!!

[antznguyen]

You gotta love the flick at 5:13 :)

[urtwilightbuddy11]

Whenever I heard this, I close my eyes and find stars behind my eyelids. :D :D :D

[PETERANDSONA]

A typical classic music that I enjoyed

[GrantilliusMax117]

Oh my...I think I just died a little in my heart. Or was I just reborn from listening from this. :-)

[rybrikat]

Love this piece but the timing of the music does not line up with the video. Watch the harp!!

[renji928]

@dorkfaceflutexo it says in the beginning of the vid

[dorkfaceflutexo]

How old is this recording?

Because that is Mr.Depasqule as concert master, and David Kim is now concert master.

[RicoIII2010]

This was so amazing...this piece literally moves my spirit every time i hear it. Love how you can clearly see the relationship between the conductor and the instrumentalists....Once again, Awesome.

[nvr94]

can someone reply me the instruments that being used for this song? cause I need this for my school project..

[sandovita4]

beautiful!!

[caiobasilio]

Incrível a quantidade de gente batendo palmas. Bela execução!

[nauj325]

does anyone know who orchestrated this??

[TheRowlhion]

@nauj325 It must be the orchestra, because i' ve searched and every orchestrated version has different accommodation for the instruments.

[MrPhilip1032]

@nauj325

The orchestration was done by Gustav Gloez and Andre Caplet ..and has captured Debussy perfectly I think

[Whistlejocket]

Wunderbar!!!!!!!!!

[Motheda111]

Beautiful. The impact that this piece makes as a whole is just so feather-light but depth-full, relentlessly moving.

[elpianisto26]

just beautiful

[NanWhoElse]

This is piece of music is all that I want to hear before I breathe my last.

[tteu123]

@NanWhoElse The best piece to listen to before you die is Dmitri Shostakovich's II. Andante from his 2nd Piano Concerto.. look it up on youtube..

[fakessmile]

@NanWhoElse I actually said that 20 years ago. I'm 26 now, and I've never heard a song that I've felt was more beautiful to me, and I own over 800 CDs. Nothing compares.

[themightycd]

Stunning !

[Dulveira34]

linda

[hawthornmad]

That is so amazingly beauftiful and also touching.

[Sheri451]

This would be wonderful music to put a small child to sleep with.

[mickytwoknives]

when this conductor dies ....all he has to do at the gates of heaven is point  out this piece and hes in......

mickytwoknives

[MrLacidaremlamano]

Cette musique vous ferait pardonner à Dieu le reste...

[marylinmanson73]

I used to cradle my babys on this song, nice memories ..........

[dorkfaceflutexo]

wow, this is gorgeous.

i like it better than the piano version

[anklebreaka03]

this doesn't even touch the piano version! Beautiful indeed, but the piano version is on a level of its own.

[dorkfaceflutexo]

that is true. but im more inclined to liking orchestral arrangements. but the piano version is beautiful as well!

[pancakepuddle]

much better, I agree

[AdamZeppelin007]

symphony is the only way to go ;)

[itzcoatl85]

Esta bien chida la rola

[bheurk]

This is the best version of this song ever!

[ydfitws258]

[tyler00027]
