    Makes me feel like I’ve never actually heard Debussy before. Genius.

      I think that every time I hear a her play Debussy. Her understanding of the music and how to share it is inspiring. Her playing of Debussy has brought me to tears more than once. Our world is truly blessed to have a musician of her talent as part of it.

    Such a way of laying her hands to the keys, firmly or softly, never throwing them, gracefully presenting them and allowing them to pass the music from her through the instrument...

    • @annehallock5370
      @annehallock5370 10 месяцев назад +9

      I totally agree. Her playing makes my spirit soar, simply because of her relationship with the piano and it with her.

      Yes, I can't stand superfluous hand movements. Glenn Gould would be an exception, he's really expressing himself when he uses his hands in a conductor fashion.

    This is the best pianist I've heard so far. Amazing touch on the keys, wonderful interpretation, perfect tempo, perfect pedaling, just gorgeous. She made this piece sound flowing and there was not a single point where music has stopped until the end...this is the top level of music.

    These performances posted in this youtube playlist are the first I’m hearing of Ms. Pires. She’s wonderful. Her touch, phrasing, dynamics, sensibility - everything - so beautifully played. I love the way she plays Debussey. I am on a mission now to find her other work. Thanks for posting.

  • @davidseymour6246
    @davidseymour6246 4 дня назад +1

    It’s so strange to think that this was written in 1888 and we have had to wait all that time until someone was finally capable of fully realising the composer’s intention. The forward direction of all those longer-note lines is exquisite.

    Classical music describes Life. Imagine leaves sailing in the wind or birds. Water is a major subject in a lot of classical music. Not in words, but through sound.

    Some people say that people play it too fast, but this one is not that fast and is not slow, and, it has lots of emotion😊❤.

    No piece better suits not just the technical style but the core expressivity of Mme Pires than this one. It's totally HER, and she plays the sox off it.

    The interpretation by the enormous Maria João Pires is absolutely extraordinary! Each note is thought out and each phrase has its own meaning, in a captivating fluency. Brilliant, moving and incredible the stratospheric level that our pianist has reached. Sublime, unpretentious, extreme musicality. Thanks for the publication.

    The tempo starts out and generally stays faster than the version I've most frequently listened to, but, it still works wonderfully. It's really interesting, too, how the same notes come out feeling differently with the harmonies standing out in new and exciting ways.

      I think it's some kind of door, repeatedly closing. But I tell you one thing, she truly is a world-class performer by th way she totally ignores those incessant rackets. Also, too, she has obviously captured th hearts of everyone with this performance as yours was th only comment about th noise I could find! I was looking for it from someone as I was going to comment on noise, myself.

    Amongst the beautiful and well versed comments here, I, in my funny way of doing things, would have to allow my OCD get out through my fingertips and ruin the moment by bringing up the sad idea someone had of placing that "interesting" table right next to her.
    There is merit to my words as her hands are the ones creating magic at that moment and you find your eardrums mocking your retinas.
