I saw this guy play in the Champs Elysee theatre in Paris last April. He was amazing. He played some Choping, some Mussorgsky, and I was completely in awe of him.
I understand that people are interested in wrong notes that are played, I am too, in a voyeuristic way, it's satisfying to know that professionals are mortals too, but please don't focus on it. the real sign of a good performer is someone who covers their mistakes well, like Aldo did in this :)
Ricordo sempre i Preludi di Debussy eseguiti a Cagliari tanti anni fa. Un maestro veramente bravo.
French pianist of Italian origin, born in Naples, Aldo Ciccolini won the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud competition in Paris in 1949 (among the other prize-winners were Paul Badura-Skoda and Pierre Barbizet). In November 1950, he made his USA debut as soloist in Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of Dimitri Mitropoulos.
He became a French citizen in 1969 and taught at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1970 to 1988, where his students included Akiko Ebi, Géry Moutier, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Artur Pizarro and Nicholas Angelich.
Ciccolini is a celebrated interpreter and advocate of the piano music of the French composers like Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy and Erik Satie.
The soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf said of him "I have hardly met a more wonderful partner and a more delightful companion."
He nails it. An unbroken spell, just like a ... what do you call it ... a reverie!
Best interpretation I ever heard. Not overemotional, but I feel that is exact what the piece should be as itself.
Ciccolini was a true master and the back of my hand to all those who think otherwise!
Lol he was fabulous, wasn't he?
This is my favourate musical piece perfectly played.
I heard it when I was very very young, and I cannot find an interpretation that echos the sound in my meomory for many many years. Then I bumped into this one and it is like yesterday comes back again.
Bravo! This is how Debussy should be played.
I never heard a more beautiful interpretation of this piano work
What a touch! Wonderful interpretation... So sweet, so sensitive...
i'm playing this piece now, and I know he is a professional, but is his defense, this is NOT an easy piece! LOL! I miss that SAME not at 1:16 ALL the time......I don't know why, but MAN..I feel SO MUCH BETTER NOW!! He missed a few notes, but life goes on, the piece is absolutely beautiful, and the message came across loud and clear!
Great music...it is not easy to play with the right feeling and interpretation. I like this performance. The other videos about this music are not good. Bravo, Ciccolini!
That was just beautiful. He plays with such natural grace and passion.....:-)
For those that hear "wrong notes" I think he is adding them on purpose to create what his ear believes to be a better sound. I don't agree as I would play the notes as the composer wishes and follow a Debussy guideline for expressive interpretation which can vary quite a bit from pianist to pianist.
Or, he is thinking WTF I should have practiced more....... Oh my, look at that cute blonde in the front row........ Oh no! Where am I?
Tocco magistrale e magnifica interpretazione di "Reverie" ( sogno ad occhi aperti, fantasia) .Volo del pensiero e leggerezza della mano che esprime il volo del pensiero . Penso a Janchélévitch che, a proposito di Des pas sur la neige" disse che , per suonare quel brano erano necessarie "mani d'angelo".
A beautifully played version of this. Dreamy, air-like and there is nothing wrong with the piano sound.
i like so much the fact that he's smiling while playing,it makes performance less heavy
C'est juste magnifique!!!!
Fabulous performance. A joy to hear.
Watching and listening to Ciccolini I’m reminded of the deeply mysterious character Conchis in John Fowles’s novel The Magus.
A hieratic quality even in the most popular pieces is Ciccolini’s essence, not affectation. The French sensed this, but he’s less highly prized by most Americans and Brits. They find him insufficiently vaporous, too earthy. Read a good Debussy biography. The man was not as insubstantial as Gieseking made him, just as Chopin the mimic and caricaturist did not lack irony. Buy Aldo’s complete Debussy on Erato. I think the composer would have loved it.
Love this. Aldo plays it to perfection. I used to be able to play this, I might just havta get out my old sheet music and give it another try.
Vaimusic - thanks for posting this, you made my day better! Brings back memories.
Merci Aldo.
I have the CD version of this (Debussy: Dreams on EMI Classics).
This DVD was probably recorded in one take, so it has a few minor mistakes.
In the CD version, it is played with no mistakes
so classy
Mellow mood...
MOOD????

BEAUTIFUUL
Bravo Aldo, non ti smentisci mai
bravissimoooooooo
La.sua capacità analitica mi lascia sconvolto, e mi affascina
So I hope you will enjoy this last piece....Very much.
Aldo Ciccolini, "Velvet Fingers"!
Bravo!!!
Extraordinaire!
grande Aldo!!!
I'm sorry to say you're wrong about the piano. They seem to be known for being one of the best pianos in the world. Handmade, and tested one by one before being delivered. I performed myself in one of these pianos and its sound is the brightest and most unique I've ever heard.

Why are you all iteressed on wrong notes? The great aim of a musician is COMMUNICATE PERSONAL EMOTIONS, not playng right notes!
最高です！
@manthasagittarius I'm sorry but it was written originally for the piano.
And I think this is by far the best rendition of this piece on youtube.
I can only dream (haha) of playing this piece like him.
@Bellevp yea you're right.. i learned this piece i think 2-3 years ago. back then i had followed lessons for about 7-8 years :), but you'll always notice things that you want change, learning the notes isn't very difficult, you need to take some time to understand, to feel the rhytem.
it's and endless piece of piano work mucho props to Aldo Ciccolini :)

i looooove it *3*
Like going to paradise
🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
thankyou! i thought there were more mistakes too, but i was having a hard enough time convincing this lot about the first, really obvious one.
i'm not criticising - i cannot comprehend the incredible level of consistency you see with some performers. some players leave me speechless, they seem superhuman. but nonethless - this performance features mistakes.
i think he does some things like miss out some octaves and even plays the wrong chord in one place. maybe i'll check properly later. :D
You're correct. Too many wrong notes in this performance, some of which hears just peculiar.
@Stellstelladelnord yeah! Wuff wuff!
This was great. Seems to me, that if you play Debussy strictly by the chart, it always sounds terrible. Notes on paper are just trails, and most can follow a trail, but where the feet land, and what you find along the way, is another matter.
The maze wasn't meant for you. It was meant for Debussy.
StarCape Photon wtf are you talking about? Ugh.
che sorpreeeesaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
che ci fai qua???? Ma lo sai che ho studiato con lui + di 2 anni?????
saluti :*
As long as you said "No disrespect" !
@CUNxtTues
Sheet music during a performance is generally not used because it distracts from concentration. Tunnel vision on focusing on the harmonies and colorful tones you make are the only thing a pianist must think about. Even if you memorize the piece and think of the sheet music as an "insurance" of sorts, if you play with the sheet music, it is a bit unnerving not too look at it, and when you do, your concentration falls on notes, and not sounds.
1:16 sounds like a mistake - i know its supposed to be dischordant but it sounds like the wrong dischord?!
beautiful piece anyway, debussy is my personal definition of a genius
i think he got it right the second time
the bass note is different the two times the chord is played in this performance - in every other performance i've heard, its the same both times - i always thought of it as a painful point, made twice. but always the same painful point!
i call a bum note. it looks to me like he strikes the wrong note bass note at 1:16 and then very quickly but weakly plays the correct one afterwards, like a flam.
surely someone else can see this is a mistake?
Big words for a small mind. In my opinion, 'I think' doesn't always mean you're guessing. (hate to get into fights :D)
This does not sound like anything to me
iliketowin win you a fuckin bitch
what door ?
If you approach Debussy like a Romantic composer you lost the game.Debussy is Zen meditation!!!
I wonder if the 5 people who voted negative for this video could play this better than Ciccolini.
left hand arpeggio at 3:48 sounds wrong too. this is a more subtle mistake but it still doesn't suond right. christ! i can't even play the piano!
like many top virtuosi, he is try ihg to be too clever and "musical" by pulling the music about wilfully, but then missing the point and it's intrinsic simplicity. There are even errors in bars 45-6 where he moves the left hand chords forward two beats. Tut-tut!
One day, Richter took one of his students to a Horowitz concert. Horowitz played his ever beautiful take on Rachmaninov's 3rd Concerto. In the end Richter asked his student
"How did you like it?"
The student said:
"Not at all, his interpretation derived from the original intent, the rhythm was off and he made so many mistakes"
To which Richter replied
"Wen you can make your mistakes sound as beautiful, and make a piece your own like he did, only will you be a Master"
He has passed away...
ok ok....allora bisogna pensare a un 4 mani a meta' strada tra oslo e helsinky ;))
I really should proof read my comments: I meant Chopin, not choping, who's that?!?! woops!
i came here because HBO west world
The piano they chose for this performance doesn't quite match the flavour of the song if you ask me. The sound is too warm and not 'floaty' enough (as you'd expect in a dream), they should have gone for a dryer sound...Oh well...
I'm not to imperessed by his performance in general. As Hayden already stated he makes some mistakes and there's not enough tempo/volume changing in my opinion. Overall it isn't bad ofcourse...but this is no reál player...
4/5
the timing is just a little wacky
this is good but isnt the best version by far, and bollocks to all the snobbery comments
not much if you have been playing for.. 4 years should be easy
Didn't like this as much as his rendition of Arabesque No.1
Boo. He butchered the ending. Totally changed it. How dare he.
Tf is this
i agree. it sounds very nice. so you were actually performing IN the piano? wow that must have been one hell of a modern piece :D
@testerama2009 yeah i know John Cage's stuff. Quite cool and percussive sounding.
