Claude Debussy Museum - Girl with the Flaxen Hair

http://www.debussypiano.com
This is Debussy's "The Girl With the Flaxen Hair", played by Anthony Tobin, set to scenes from the Debussy museum in St Germain en-Laye, France, west of Paris on RER line 2.

Debussy was born in this house, and lived here a short time before his family moved to Clichy, north of Paris while he was still an infant. The house dates from circa 1650-70. The first floor is the municipal tourist bureau, the second is devoted to the museum, and the third floor has a small concert hall.

Did you ever get to perform in the concert hall on the 3rd floor?

@MusicalOxygen no, but I would like to. have you?

I'd love to go to this museum. I love Debussy's work...such tranquil beauty, all of his pieces.

[piano4film]

@elixiress the museum is well-worth the trip.

[Polygor]

Were it not for Debussy I would never have gotten into classical music. Do you have a similar film of Ravel?

[piano4film]

Not yet, but I may one day!

Since im a child, my dad always said this was my song...." Mi pequeña Debussy, del cabello de lino" ...When i was 17 i had to leave and my country and live in a culture that isnt mine...i spend each day feeling sad, but when i listen this piece i feel in home, i even smell the food of my father and see the smile in my brother face.

Sorry for my bad english

This is so beautiful. I can't help but weep when I hear this because my heart knows I don't deserve to hear something so pure.

Really nice. Reminds me of the time I went to visit Kodaly's museum in Budapest. Must dig out that video and put some music to it ... And do a guitar arrangement of the above piece!

This is pure bliss to listen to...always relaxes me.

@superlimone

vous avez raison! I visited his birthplace in the Rue au pain before it was converted into a museum,many years ago,Then I went to the museum and there was a cabinet which contained his Conductor's dress suit. For an instant I put my hand into the top lefthand breastpocket and I had a strange feeling that I had 'communicated' !
