That's really lovely! Stumbled upon this ... didn't know about this artist. Without taking anything away from her wonderful performance, there is another unsung hero here: great piano technician whoever he/she is! Hope to hear this pianist live one day.
Hello, Thank you very much for this beautiful piano music ! I select it for my playlist Famous french classical pianists. All the best ! Jean-Charles Bourquin
J'aime beaucoup l’interprétation de Célimène. C'est magique ! C'est le morceau que je joue actuellement et j'aime la regarder jouer avec beaucoup de virtuosité.
Nice but not enough freedom of phrase. It should sound improvisational. Also lacked color and variety of touch and sound even though there were dynamics, in Debussy, this goes beyond sheer dynamics into a world of colors, odors and ephemorals.
Parfois oui, parfois non ! J'ai réécouté le morceau pour évaluer votre jugement qui semble s'appliquer de manière globale à la musique de Debussy (et que je partage, "globalement", d'ailleurs). Mais, s'agissant au cas particulier de "bruyères", il me semble qu'il s'y trouve des moments d'improvisation et d'autres plus structurants, à l'image d'un arbre qui a des branchages qui ondulent au vent, des ramures qui les maintiennent et un tronc qui les porte.
kinda disagree. What fascinates me the most about impressionism is how it conveys so well this idea of "false improvisation".... I don't really know how to explain it, but it's like if a master of harmonies and rythms tried their best at "faking" an improvisation style, when in reality everything is calculated and meticulously arranged. And it's not a bad thing ! far from it. Debussy, Ravel, even Satie, and modern composers inspired by them ; many have mastered the art of "making it feel sound loose and carefree", when in reality we have this sensation because the composer (and interpret) has been skillful enough to "fake" this carelessness to sublime extent where our brain transcribes it as something very natural and organic (Ravel talked a lot about this process for example). And to me it's the magic of impressionism and post romantism : it's "jazzy", but not like actual jazz players. It's like a calculated jazz covered with sheer pianistic talent and focus. That sounds paradoxal maybe but that's what really strikes me in impressionist music. I don't know this woman playing, but I feel like she transcribed that feeling really really well. It's academic, yet you can hear that she takes attention to make it sound as mellow and lyrical as it can be... Not through carelessness and improvisation, but through method and thoughts. And I think reaching this balance is harder than it seems.
I can hear many times and never get tired of listening

Magnifique, bravo Célimène
