the most perfectly composed piece of music ever. i can only play a simplified version on guitar but it brings me peace in bad times. thank you from the bottom of my heart mr Debussy
My favorite rendition--ever! Long ago, I danced as part of Wilson Morelli's choreography of Debussy's masterpiece, at the Greek Theatre, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Your playing is how my body felt Debussy's music. I wish Debussy could hear you, Mr. Cyprien.
Thank you for this nice words. I think that many composers would have been glad to have discover guitar during their living. Debussy would have wrote wonderfull pieces for guitar.
Such an outstanding performance. As someone who plays classical guitar, I can really appreciate the use of the sound hole and harmonics in this interpretation and I absolutely loved the rich tone of that guitar. I have a version of this piece that I am going to attempt to play but I think the required barring and stretching is going to kill me 😋
I have the parenting scores for this but never went through. Reading music for guitar is more difficult than Chinese algebra. I’m so impressed by Segovia or Julian bream teaching from them or following along. They have to have IQ’s in the 150+.
Beautifully done, but you guys did him dirty with the intro ..... "Hi, I am Cyprien and I will play for you few unknown pieces..." (plays Clair de lune, arguably one of the most well know pieces on earth) Haha
Hello Phil, Thanks for our comment. This video and his speech at the beginning are part of a longer concert video, where Cyprien played several unknown pieces. 😊 That's why it may be a little bit confusing.
Haha, ya i was just busting your chops, I saw his concert video you guys released earlier and he def played a few pieces I never even heard of before , the intro was just funny for this single. But in all seriousness, you guys put out the best classical guitar content Ive ever found, the musicians, guitars, and recordings are absolutely top quality. Thanks so much for all of it.
Hey, I really love your playing and the compositions you chose. Great, but I don't know if is my ears, but wasn't the guitar slightly out of tune? For some reason, the harmonics plucked in the 1st string on Claire de Lune sounded odd to me. Please don't take this personal, even tough maybe is just my ears. Anyway, I found helpful to let you know my impression. Congrats for your playing.
I've had so many guitars, classical and some steel string acoustic, with "intonation" issues. I use extra hard tension strings on classicals and must file the string to saddle contact point back to slightly lengthen the nodal point in order to reduce sharps higher up the fret, but of course this will influence "non-fretted" harmonics which don't stretch the string. This is an ever ending battle for tonal compromise. I even use top oversized (4mm) saddles in 2mm saddle slots in order to accommodate my virtual string lengthening. My next guitar will be a Kenny Hill "true temperament"🎶🤣
@@christopherstanford5599 , that’s right, this can happen. Some builders compensate in the nut along with the saddle; some even relocate some frets to get a better compromise. Sometimes an easier workaround is to slightly detune the guitar depending on the piece being played and compensate that with more or less finger pressure. A very well known case is James Taylor’s tuning. As you said, is always a matter of compromise, but in this case, I don’t know, just sounded way offset to me. Did you get the same impression?
Dear Mr Fonseca, in a similar spirit of respect, I timidly and respectfully point you to the whole history of "commas" in musical intonation: If a guitar is tuned by absolute pitch, then chords play out of tune. If you suppress the guitar's third string, the G, to make C-related compositions play "in-tune," then A-related compositions play out-of-tune- We can only get "close" to playing in tune on the guitar (such fixed-tuning as we find on the pianoforte, is called "well-tempered" or averaged-out tempering, so that all keys are placed close to being in tune. . . . That's one of the major reasons why guitarists re-tune their instrument when going from the key of one composition to a piece which is in another, distinct key. (to understand, you might start on GGG, the Great God Google, by looking up "COMMA" references, including Wikipedia.
@@TalentedDilittante yep, you are absolutely right. There is no way to get a instrument like a guitar perfectly in tune in all keys at the same time, but you can tune slightly “offtune” depending on the dominant chord and the intervals that once played will be “over the sound”. But it’s always a matter of compromise, you’re right.
Cet arrangement a l'air tout à fait difficile, tout comme l'arrangement de James Bishop-Edwards, joué par Roxane Elfasci, mais deux sonorités différentes.

Possibly the most sensitive interpretation I've ever heard on the guitar simply brilliant.
Beautiful, expressively played with beautiful sounds. A great arrangement by Francis Kleynjans !!! BRAVO 👍👏👏👏
Love the tempo and the softness of strings plucking..... Beautiful.....
the most perfectly composed piece of music ever. i can only play a simplified version on guitar but it brings me peace in bad times. thank you from the bottom of my heart mr Debussy
The best interpretation I've ever seen on the guitar!! I loved it

The sound of the guitar is impeccable. It’s incredible what men can make with their hands and make it sound oh so beautiful
Superbe interprétation,la meilleure à la guitare. Merci beaucoup.
Mesmerizing....., and the technique required for this rendition is world class. Wish you all the best
Bravo!! Your harmonics were the soul of clarity.
So beautiful! I can hear this all day!
I love you playing such sensitivity. Thank you for sharing.
So gentle and elegant
穏やかな感情が広がっていきます♬素晴らしい演奏を有難う御座います。この楽曲も私の大好きです。
BRAVO!! That was wonderful playing and beautiful interpretation!
I really enjoyed listening to your incredible beautiful music. Thank you so much
👍👏.
Cyprien, your interpretation of this piece is masterful and wonderful. I'm so glad to have discovered you.
Thank you for this beautiful performance ❤
This video is real tearjerker!!!🥺❤️👍
One of my favorite tunes ever. So Beautiful. Thank you.
Bravo 👏👏👏👏I love it! Absolutely beautiful .
Beautiful
Stunning!
fantastico, complimenti! Devo provare a suonarlo sul mio liuto barocco 🎶
So beautiful
What a beautifiul piece so beautifully performed!
Sublime...

Toca minha alma!
Gratidão!
私は日本人です。美しく、感動しました。
Belíssimo ,muito sensível
!
Una interpretación fabulosa
Superbe de beauté!
Sublime.
Beautifully played 💛
I have a version down pat with drop d... please post your tab...mine is now redundant after watching this...absolutely beautiful

Does anyone know whether or not this is standard tuning?
Hello Tom, This is not the standard tuning of the piece. Cyprien has tuned the guitar a half tone lower to have more depth.
A 415 ;)
Can I buy tabs for this?

Congratulations! Bravo! I like also the one performed by the Brazilian guitarist Dilermano Reis on his steel-stringed guitar! Check it out!

Nice, but wouldn't call "Claire de lune" unknown.

@@SiccasGuitars Of course, I had realized that 😉. A tiny bit of rewording would have arranged it. Nice instrument and beautiful performance!
Clair et non Claire 😎 est-ce clair ?🙄
Very good but this piece is not adaptable for guitar solo in many aspects!
