It's such a haunting melody......even before I knew that it was "The aquarium" it sounded like an underwater scene to me......that's how well it was composed.I didn't know that he wrote piano concerto's too.I heard Alexander Malofeev play one and it was awesome!I am really educating myself musically.Have been binge listening to classical music since lockdown and I can't get enough!🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵
Fun fact: This piece was used as the temp track when Disney was creating the Prologue for Beauty and the Beast. Can you hear it? :) Beautifully played!
Yes and it blew my mind when I first heart it on the radio. I HAD to find it. That prologue made that movie for me, like its taking you into another world.
Welcome to the only classical channel on RUclips that isn't spammed with TwoSet and lingling memes.. (Note that I love twoset and am a faithful subscriber, don't get me wrong)
I have been subscribed to your channel for more than 10 years. I’ve watched your videos evolve. I’ve watched you raise your daughter in a musical environment. And to this day, when I search for a specific price I want to hear played on the piano, your video always seem to show up right at the top of the search results. This piece is a nice, and the it’s cool how you play that melody with the right thumb. At first I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. Thank you for more than a decade of wonderful music, that I’ve watched and listened to from several different continents, and continue to share with my 8 and 5 year old daughters.
I can't find the words to describe how I feel when I hear this brilliant piece. Magnificent, Brilliant. I wish I had a time machine. I would meet every composer who has helped me escape the terribleness of this world.
Your playing is phenomenal! And it looks totally effortless, as if you composed this piece yourself. You are truly an amazing pianist! You help me as a game developer immensly by calming my nerves and letting me focus on the task at hand
With all the crap that's going on in the world right now, music like this, and played like this, helps restore one's faith for the future of mankind. Great job.
My oldest memory of that song was there in 2006 watching the Simpsons, I was 8 years old. I have never forgotten it since. The scene of the falling trees, the sad Lisa, I didn't even understand the humor of the drawing, but it stuck in my head until one day in 2017 that I decided to look for this song. I didn't watch the Simpsons at that time, and I even had a certain prejudice, I didn't give a chance to watch, nor do I know why. I remembered that I heard it in an episode of the cartoon, but I had no idea what it was. I tried to describe the scene where it appeared to Google but nothing done. I wasn't in college at the time so I had plenty of time to WATCH 18 SIMPSONS SEASONS in less than 3 months until I finally found it. Having done all that, I found a song that I thought about for most of my life and I also gave the chance for this series that I like a lot today.
Great interpretation!!! Congratulations! Couldn't believe a single piano sounds like this, even on a cell phone sounds amazing!!! The genius o Saint Saent, brought to life!!! Thank you!
This is what they call skills! I was wondering how this would work out since you have to play the string part and the piano part all by yourself and you nailed it!! Much respect!!
Thank you, Paul, I'm very much enjoying your playing skill, and the purity & clarity of the recordings. I hope you find time to delve into more jazz as well, but I know there's so much lovely music and so little time.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gift in music. Listening to you play brings me somewhere and motivates me to someday be a gifted and talented pianist like you! Thank you!
One of my favorite pieces, and beautifully played. The tempo is perfect, and really captures the aquatic imagery

I'm in love with this piece, since most of my compositions have this mystic and emotional feeling to them. By the way, i loved your interpretation, i even shared this video in my personal facebook timeline. Good job my Paul friend!
Wow... I'm so surprised... It's so beautiful and particular... Thanks to this great channel for letting us enjoy and discover these marvelous music and musicians...
Saint Saens is the only composer I'm afraid to play. Like I love his music, but I can't relate to the magic of it. He's my favorite. He has similar vibes with Tchaikovsky, but where T is magical and playful, Saint Saens is magical-complicated mostly eerie and tinge darker. Keke I loooove him, nd I love this. Your hands are beautiful !
Thank you so much Paul, this is magnificent. I'm a pianist too, and I'm having troubles playing my instrument since a year. I know I love it, it's a part of myself, but I'm completely unable to feel it anymore. Have you ever been in that situation ? Would you have any advice to help me playing the piano again ? I would be very happy if you answer this message. Thanks again for sharing your art with us.
+Bataillard Louis -- it's quite easy to fix this situation with the following exercise. When the musical phrase moves upwards, lift your body upwards too from the stool as high as your back will take you, let yourself floating upwards with the music and breath in. When the phrase moves downwards, let your body fall downwards too progressively and breath out. There is rise and fall in each musical phrase and the purpose of this exercise is to physically reconnect with the musical rise and fall in phrases. After that you can do the same thing, but internally.
Bataillard Louis it took me ten years to return to my piano instrument. The passion was dead, and when I took a vacation to Vienna Austria and went to the music museum, there was a Piano there and when I sat down to play I couldn't remember anything of what I used to play. So I endeavor to buy a Piano, but a piano that sounded good and was a good quality, so I settled for a Yamaha keyboard which sounded perfect and felt perfect like a piano, I played my first piece that I ever played which was the Für Elise, and I haven't stopped since. I hope this helps.
I know you wrote this comment a long time ago, and I hope that you're playing your piano again. Your situation kind of reminds me of an anime named "Your Lie In April" It's about a young pianist who losses his passion in piano and goes through a journey to find it again. When you have the chance, I highly suggest for you to watch the anime. Sometimes, watching others go on a journey to find their passion, inspires you to find your own :) I wish you all the best
Your mastery is wonderful to watch and listen to Paul! It's such a beautiful piece....one of the most beautiful of all time actually!! Bravo :-)) ~Jackie
Each time I think of a new piece to learn, I type it in the YT search bar, and the first result is Paul Barton playing it ha ha, you're the most ubiquitous piano player on this platorm
I remember that on my first piano lesson, my teacher showed me how the piano can "play" different instruments. So I guess that would be a perfect harp :)
Saint-saëns was always very inventive in order to create another sound of the same instrument , as he also does in the 2nd movement of his Piano Concerto No.5
Its been used in the 1978 movie drama „Days of Heaven“ with Richard Gere and Brooke Adams, saw it in the late 80s. It gave me the creeps as the movie is epic. Strangely the scenery has nothing in common with an aquarium, nevertheless this piece complimented the drama which by the way has beautiful photography - I think there was an award for the picturesque photography…
So beautifully played! Would you be able to record the rest of the movements transcribed by Garban? There are some other really fun ones like birds, Lions, Wild Asses etc. Your playing is so polished! I would love to listen to you play the rest of the Carnival of the Animals!

It sounds like water, those recurring high notes, ughhhhh my soul.
Saint-saens was such a genius
Mr. Moose I agree with you! He was!
Yes, I am.
All composers were
Yes, we are.
All of them were!!! It's sooo fantastically annoying randomly attacking a keyboard know these guys could just make it up whenever!!!
saint saens music is somehow alive, it tells a story
Did you know he was kind of making fun of other composers and musicians in the carnival, so he never published it. It got published after his death :D
@@tarikeld11 In the "pianists" and in the "characters with long ears"
More greater then Chopin

It sure is!
I am playing piano for 15 years, but I am not sure if i will be able to play this song as flawless as Paul does, respect!
It's been 20 years now, how goes it?
Fun fact: This piece was used as the temp track when Disney was creating the Prologue for Beauty and the Beast. Can you hear it? :)
Beautifully played!
Yes and it blew my mind when I first heart it on the radio. I HAD to find it. That prologue made that movie for me, like its taking you into another world.
0:40 always gives me goosebumps
0:51 for me
Agreed with both, the whole thing fore really.
Unreal playing
Cooper Carter If you would listen and
look "exactly" you wouldn't say that!

awww, your technique is sooo good. I play this piece but envious of your performance here.
perfect tempo wonderful expressive dynamisism
This instantly brings me back to walking in a forest near my grandparent's home and listening to this on my iPod. So magical.
I can't find the words to describe how I feel when I hear this brilliant piece. Magnificent, Brilliant. I wish I had a time machine. I would meet every composer who has helped me escape the terribleness of this world.
Such a beautiful, delicate and effortless touch. Evokes the rippling effect of water and light sparkling on the water.
This is easily the best played version ever. ZERO doubling. If you know - you know! 👍👍👍
Really enjoyed the solo arrangement. Very well done! Thanks for sharing.
This composer seems pretty underrated. A lot of his stuff is pretty masterful.
The talent, the soul, the legacy of real music right here.
Your playing is phenomenal!
And it looks totally effortless, as if you composed this piece yourself.

Magnifique interprétation !!!❤ Bravo !!! 👏👏👏
Unbelievable it is merely a piano I'm tempted to say it is one of the most impressive pieces ever written in that sense.
Hands up who hit like before even hearing it! Magical from Maestro Barton as ever, thank you Paul
Great interpretation!!! Congratulations! Couldn't believe a single piano sounds like this, even on a cell phone sounds amazing!!! The genius o Saint Saent, brought to life!!! Thank you!

Absolutely breathtaking! 😮
oh my goodness! I've been looking for this song for so long and now I stumbled on it and know it's name.... it is soooo beautiful 💖
It just seems the french composers had something...unique. Their music has such a dreamy quality to it.
Thank you, Paul, I'm very much enjoying your playing skill, and the purity & clarity of the recordings. I hope you find time to delve into more jazz as well, but I know there's so much lovely music and so little time.
Une splendeur , ce morceau est magnifique.
Exquisitely rendered once again. Such a light, agile touch.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gift in music. Listening to you play brings me somewhere and motivates me to someday be a gifted and talented pianist like you! Thank you!
He is incredible to play this so accurately
This is beautiful, brings tears to my eyes.
This is the best solo arrangement I’ve heard. 😊
Inspirational performance 😊

Absolute respect for that talent. By the way, the audio seperation is inversed. High keys play to the left and vise versa.

Dude you CRUSHED it!!! Well played sir!
Wonderful to see the construction of the music, great performance Paul.
Beautiful piece of piano music..
This is hauntingly beautiful!! Absolutely incredible!
I've been looking for this piece for 15 years.
Pea-green with envy. It must be wonderful to be so talented.
It's so amazing that it takes me to another dimension

Those glissandos are so clean!!!
One of the greatest peices of music ever!, Great performance!.
It's so eerie and beautiful, like looking into an ocean ravine
It's the first time I've heard this piece. Beautiful!
Das ist so zum heulen schön gespielt! Wie kann man da ein "dislike" geben.....😢
Lovely! Absolutely amazing performance!
Well, I think that this is the best transcription I've ever heard

I am learning this right now. Some of these fingerings are so hard!
BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED!!
Godddd! I can keep listening to this. ❤
I just love your playing!
So eerily enchanting.
That is sublime, thank you for sharing it, I hope one day to play it, that could be my everest.
Watching (and hearing) you play that glissando at 1:46 and on, with such a delicate and graceful movement, is honestly more satisfying than sex.
I camed :0 yeeees o ma gat that fingers
You have terrible sex my friend
At my age I can't manage either.
I remember that on my first piano lesson, my teacher showed me how the piano can "play" different instruments. So I guess that would be a perfect harp :)
Great performance!
Absolutely wonderful
Божественно ! Сказочно прекрасно ! Спасибо !
This could be he background music when I'm dreaming at night.
Very nice, Paul. Very nice indeed. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful piano music. I love it!! God bless you. 😍😍🤹♀️
Parabéns Paul Barton voce e um artista completo e impressionante!
