    Sublime! I dedicate this harp version of Clair de Lune to My Heavenly-Resplendent Wife (in Heaven since Nov. 21/22, 2010). MY BARBRA ROSE, this other-worldly-beautiful melody was (and remains) our favorite Classical composition. I played the version by The London Philharmonic (conducted by Bernard Herrmann) many times for us while you were with me in this life. I pray that you can hear this from your mansion and rose garden in Heaven. On Valentine's Day 2012 I tell the world I love you forever!

    I love Debussy since decades. He's one of my favorite composers ever.
    Listening to this I thought that there is something beyond any explanation.
    What a fortune to have somebody wo creates such divine music and another one who plays it that way. It reaches the deepest core of heart and soul.
    I can only thank everybody: Monsieur D., Monsieur X. de M. and harpobird.

    I like the emotions in this version. I did not know that the harp can move while being played :) The harp player is also handsome.

    Wow! What a beautiful video this is. I just love the sound of the harp. It is so soothing and relaxing to the mind, body and soul. This wonderfull piece is one of my favorites in the world. I'm very pleased to have found a fellow youtuber who enjoys lovely classics such as Debussy, Bach and many others. Many thanks to you my friend. :)

    Amazing. Doesn't sound like an adaption from piano. As he plays it sounds like that it was written originally for harp.

    I can't beleive how hard this piece must be on the harp. His feet must be stompin like crazy on those pedals. You do notice some notes edited away in the transcribation but hardly noticeable and wonderful performance!

    この動画を見るまでは“Clair de Lune”をハープ用に簡略化された編曲だろうと思っていたところ、Pianoバージョンと変わらない極めて忠実な編曲だったこと、こんなにも表現力豊かで気品高い万能な楽器だったんだと知りました。演奏者の曲の捉え方も素晴らしく、この動画は間違いなく名演奏です。

    Hi. The more I watch of his playing the more inspirational. I had instructors in the French Method as well as Salzedo...I would say he is of the French School. My former teacher, a strict Salzedo...thought he was too much of a showman, but I truly believe he is playing and deeply feeling the music and that is why he plays so wonderfully. I decided I don't like "stiff" looking harpists. They look robotic. What do you think?

    Actually, the modern pedal harp IS a fully chromatic instrument, but the accidentals have to play accomplished by shifting 7 foot pedals around, so it really is more difficult to play highly chromatic music on the pedal harp.
