    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.

      My late godfather studied with a student of Debussy’s and was guided by what were said to be the composer’s intentions with this work, which was to weave an unseen filigree, note attached to note in a shimmering web only ‘visible’ to the ear. I have a recording of Bill playing the Arabesque from when he was a young man and was astounded just now to hear Maria weave the same glistening fabric of sound. Wonderful!

    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 Год назад +12

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    @davidseymour6246 3 месяца назад +6

    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.

    This is what is possible when the artist knows their place, when the point is allowed to come alive because of but not for the artist. Brava, Maria. Exquisite

    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.

    I play this piece every night on the same kind of piano she’s playing, but hearing Ms. Joao Pires makes me feel like I’m hearing it for the first time. Such grace! The arc of her line stretches from the first note literally to the last. I’m in awe.

    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.
