Arturo Michelangeli - Debussy Reflets dans l'eau
Loading...
Uploaded by thepolonaise on Feb 27, 2007
Pianist: Arturo Michelangeli playing Claude Debussy's "Reflets dans l'eau" in D-flat major from Images Book 1.
"Reflets dans l'eau" translates to "Reflections in the Water." This pianist was hailed as the most mathematical in the 20th century. Aside from Gould, Michelangeli was considered a "human metronome."
I find his Debussy ~slightly~ dry, but still amazingly colorful. contradictory statement, i know.
Images Book 1 consists of three pieces, all composed within 1904 and 1905. I'm intersted to know, DO YOU CONSIDER DEBUSSY "IMPRESSIONISTIC?" if not.. what do YOU think he is?

Oh my godness !
Incredibly perfection reached by Arturo Michelangeli, that's an incrdible artist as we don't see anymore...
-
That was POETRY ... and no one does it better than Michelangeli! I have his recording of Image Books I and II, plus Children's Corner and it is simply wonderful!
-
Debussy's music is impressionistic no matter what. Nobody can deny that. In this recording it sounds more towards Ravel than Debussy.

Insuperabile interpretazione

che eleganza, che bellezza...

ABM could be amazing sometimes as he knows how to cool the blood in your heart by playing absolutely "from outside the music" - I know my expression might not be the max and be easily confusing -, and nobody will shake off my ears and heart Gieseking and Richter here...

Magnificent.

I dedicate this magnificent rendition to my late brother Paul who loved this so much. Thi is in honor of "Brother Week".

Too much push and pull, and agression. Not the right "mood" in my opinion.

This level of perfection is not even believable. Not even the other great pianists come close to this.
