Thank you so much for playing my favourite piece of music so beautifully ❤ the tempo is perfect and you play so gently... many performers seem to want to rattle through it but you took your time and it sounds so much better! Thank you!
One of the best interpretations out there. As a professional composer for film and orchestra and being someone who has taught masterclasses in composition, orchestration, and (most importantly) interpretation for composers arranging and transcribing, I stand by my statement (don't let my channel fool you, I do games as a hobby). Dreamy and ethereal is Debussy, 90% of pianists rush this piece and play it FAAAAAAR too fast, which I think is based on a wax cylinder recording before he died where the cylinder is playing it back in the wrong key (a third to fifth above) and any professional worth their salt would know that it was playing it back faster than it was actually recorded (hence the higher pitch on the recording)... but you know... some people don't account for that, for shame. Now we have these wonderful pianists with their weird and rushed interpretations.
Only interpretation I'll listen too. Not even the one in the concert hall by you. I can pick this one part from anyone of them. Beautiful. How long have you played and practiced this piece?
This is one of the early pieces right? It kind of annoys me that there are these extremely tense and dramatic passages that resolve into something that frankly sounds kind of flimsy. It has nothing to do with your playing Andrew, you're playing this piece beautifully as it should be played, it's the composition itself that kind of bugs me in those flimsy parts. But those dramatic passages are so epic! For example at 1:06, awesome, right up until 1:32, then it gets kind of flimsy, and then it goes straight back to picking up the epicness again at 1:46 and resolving into an even more epic passage at 2:02... I mean, this whole part from 1:46 to 2:10, it's just so beautiful, magical and virtuoso-like. I can listen to that part again and again and it really makes me want to start learning to play this piece... but then it resolves to something extremely flimsy sounding again at like 2:10. The only good thing that can be said about those flimsy passages is that they take us into a completely unexpected territory. Then it stays in this kind of flimsy going-nowhere territory until he finds that catchy interlude at 2:54. I also very much like the part from 3:43, but the ending goes right back to flimsy-sounding from 6:10, arrgh, it just bugs me so much how it resolves. And then it gets even more annoying at 6:36. From 7:12 it gets good again, that's pretty typical and beautiful debussy outro. Am I the only one here who feels it this way? I just feel that this piece could have been so much more, had it come later in his career or if he had bothered revising it later in his career or something, cause there's really some good stuff in there. It's clear to me, that he is at a point in his career where he's still very much trying to find his inner voice/sound.
One of the most stirring pieces of music I've come to revere, and certainly the most subtle and beautiful interpretation I've heard myself.
Thank you very much!! I appreciate that you enjoyed my performance and I feel the same way about this piece, it's an incredible composition.
Many thanks for this magnificent interpretation of a little-known piece by Claude Debussy, the genius of impressionism.

So very beautifully played, bravo, Andrew!
a lovely piece by Debussy
Quite talented, I know his father who teaches at Fullerton Junior College. A Very proud father of course!
Excellent.
