Comparée à vos autres interprétations publiées sur cette chaîne, je trouve que cette pièce... vous va comme un gant. Votre jeu est ici époustouflant de beauté et de justesse. Je ne vous cache pas que je vous préfère en Debussy qu'en Chopin, et si j'étais à votre place, je n'hésiterais pas à le favoriser dans mes choix: les excellents interprètes de Debussy sont plutôt rares.C'est pourquoi je me suis autorisée à vous écrire en français...:) Bravo!

I learned this piece last year, and it is my favorite piece by Debussy. You and I have very similar interpretations of the piece, except my tempo was different in certain areas. I love your performance. You are a very expressive player. Keep up the awesome work!

It's a very fine performance for his age. Very clean and transparent. No doubt his win was well deserved. Still, for my taste, it is far to "clockwork." Nothing to worry though, those things usually come with age and experience. He will enjoy a find career in the concert hall.

This "sunken" one from Debussy is just like the female beauty: always impressive to the soul when beholden.

I think the speed is perfect. Even if compared with the Michelangeli's one. (this is little slower than michelangeli's one)

I'm studin' this piece for my diploma exam.

Compretly agree with you when you say that a little bit more emphasis is better.
