One of Debussy's finest but least known compositions. A noble meditation that rises to intoxicating sensual heights before the large arpeggios which return us to the somber and tranquil reflective mood (now with bells) in which the piece opened. Nice performance here by Ms.

Kano.

The real highlight of this performance was in fact me, the artistic director, running naked around the piano. Alas, north korean decency laws forbade its transmission.

well done girl

[doomguy132]

a great interpretation, the only thing i have a problem with is around 3:05 the way she plays the left hand. its almost like she takes it as a pesante sort of phrase. i just hear it being a little more delicate and questioning rather than stating something. otherwise fantastic. i know i cant play this yet haha
