The imagery in this prelude is particularly good. I can just see and feel the tumultuous winds slowing down and speeding up through the mountains. Playful, yet abrupt and violent.
Amazing performance ! ABM is unique ! No words to describe his artistry ! The best version of this prelude. A true master of the piano and one of the most sincere and dedicated artists ever existed in this earth. He was seeking the truth not the fame of a star-pianist.His eyes is the evidence of that truth.You can feel that in every note he has played if you ever played a single note
Michelangeli was the greatest Debussy interpret of all the times. No other pianist until today plays Debussy so pure in sound and naration as Michelangeli. The sound enginner who made this recording and also the piano tuner deserve also a huge compliment. One can hear the same music with Richter, and who is still not completely deaf, will remark the huge difference in interpretation and also in sound from the first notes.
c' è una sostanziale diffrenza tra i grandi pianisti e michelangeli che mentre i primi duettano con il pianforte michelangeli semplicemente suona il pianoforte
You're absolutely right. If you know the music, you can tell that maybe 3 chords are missing, and you can also hear the large 'click' where the music was improperly edited together. What is with that?
@arturon111 yes, here the legato and the sweeps sounds like real wind and the tremolos also the prasing, the eveness, the richness of the sound without being ever harsh.
Without his incomparable performance , Debussy's works would have been very lonely and insipid , and the enjoyment and pleasures of Debussy's works would have been less , and I would feel that Debussy's music world is like the taste of vapid beer . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
@arturon111 I have copies of Debussy's manuscripts and can say that the B octave is not there! They are there in the previous sequence of measures, but not there.
@kdj24370 Ok, me too. Arraus version in my opinion is the overall BEST. Not michelangeli's, Arraus has the right Debussy sound different than any other sound Arrau obtains for any other composer. Plus is the only one that brings out the spirtitual side of Debussy's music
michelangeli's playing is quite leaden and mannered in places imho pollini isn't the greatest debussy interpreter but he nails this particular prelude better than arturo

stimmt, er war viel zu "cool", keine Dramatik im Ton. Insbesondere die Stelle mit der Umspielung der trillerartigen Figur - trocken im Klang und in der Emotion
@kdj24370 gieseking is better than michelangeli, has many colors, great sound (even if its an old recording) but lack of details. And debussy wrote TOO many detils on EACH prelude and sometimes on every note. Arrau plays this prelude EXCEPTIONALLY well, full of details power and clarity
The old generation is not about virtuosity but what the piece reflects.

Écoutez bien cette musique...c'est le créateur qui parle.

I am blown away by this piece.
Wow... technically pristine and lyrically amazing!
Exactly as it should sound! Thanks Michelangeli!
Glorious perfection and style!!!
Il est fantastique!!! Cést magnifique!!! divine!!!
What happens around 3:39-3:40? Obviuosly, an entire bar has been cut out.
Good performance, btw. Yuori Egorov does quite good, too.
C'est trop beau ! C'est trop bien joué ! J'adore !!!
LOVE HIS SWEATER!!!
Mais qu'a donc vu le vent d'ouest ? Excellente interpretation Richter est très bien aussi ;-) Merci pour la vidéo
j;adore pascal roge et michelangeli aussi. c'est magnifique...
Quelle maîtrise ! et quelle liberté en même temps !
id have to say i found this absolutely intriguing both the music and the playing
Inarrivabile
C'est superbe!!
absolument génial!
Pollini plays the instrument wonderfully, whereas Michelangeli plays the music wonderfully
Pollini is the athlete, Michelangeli the poet...
... travolgente e stravolgente
Best debussy prelude! YOou can feel the wind blow the socks off your feet! WHEW!!!!!!!!!!

the long Eucalyptus leaves outside my windows are blowing in the wind making these shapes to the rythym
@arturon111 yes, here the legato and the sweeps sounds like real wind and the tremolos also the prasing, the eveness, the richness of the sound without being ever harsh.
@arturon111 Actually, that B is not in the score. While it IS a pedal point, Debussy leaves it out during the second time that theme comes around.
yes we all know this over 15 years ago
5 persons probably hate Debussy and all those who play his music O_o
Without his incomparable performance ,
Debussy's works would have been very lonely and insipid ,
and the enjoyment and pleasures of Debussy's works would have been less ,
and I would feel that Debussy's music world is like the taste of vapid beer .

Thank-you
@Argerich's Thumb
Thank-you
Take care of yourself
Good luck ！
Maybe it's because you are too dumb to grasp the beauty of music itself.
@@hilbert_curve3680there's raves in Japan? They seem too formal for that...
@arturon111 Yes, I have played all of the Preludes in Book 1
that b is correct, it is a pedal point
@arturon111 I have copies of Debussy's manuscripts and can say that the B octave is not there! They are there in the previous sequence of measures, but not there.
@arturon111 Really? I'll have to check that out. I enjoy Gieseking, even though sometimes he's unpopular.
@kdj24370 Ok, me too. Arraus version in my opinion is the overall BEST

@kdj24370 it is an edition mistake
@arturon111 Do you have a link I can listen/watch to?
@kdj24370 do you play the piece?
michelangeli's playing is quite leaden and mannered in places imho
pollini isn't the greatest debussy interpreter but he nails this particular prelude better than arturo
O Metrônomo.
Ick. I don't get it.
@kdj24370 search for arrau debussy Ce qu'a vu le vent d'ouest for some reason youtube is not allowing me to post the link here
