He played this very musically, and it sounds very lively. Wonderful. I wonder why Arabesque No.2 isn't as popular as No.1, unless I am mistaken. Sounds harder maybe? I play No.1 and now am thinking about learning a new song. Still searching...
Really nice! I'm practicing this song too, a bit slower of course, but -no offense!- sometimes I miss some dynamics in this version.. Well it could be just me anyway it sounds like a happy flying bird, amazing song.
Such great grasp of the form as a whole. The middle section seems a little too relentless for my taste, I would be slightly more sentimental. But overall, masterful.
I think I prefer the second Arabesque. Maybe because I've heard the first played to death at music college. It is also beautiful (when played by an artist like Gieseking)
Not at all a pianoroll recording, this is an electric recording made in 1928 of Gieseking at his best. You can hear all the refined touches and shadings.
Pianoroll performance probably. If you listen to Rachmaninoff's original pianoroll recordings, it sounds as though a lumberjack had just swapped his axe for a piano.
me neither, it doesn't give the feeling of swirls that it's meant to have (given in the name Arabesque meaning Arabic in french) . it's too fast, definitely
Gorgeous video, beautiful playing and wonderful artwork! Thanx.
Thank you for posting this. Debussy and Gieseking are great. Who could ask for more?
Pleasant to listen to. Thanks for uploading this.
Brilliant! Thank you for uploading this gem.
Very nice video, thanks!
I love the kinda muffled sounds and the hints of dynamics, from according to what I've learnt from my piano teacher, this is very Debussy-like :)
Wonderful! Bravo! TY
lively and capturing..
GREAT music !
beautiful
i have always felt his interpretaions of debussy are supreme

lol, good feeling, concerning the "pentatonic scale" :)
@josephinebijoux Isn't an arabesque a type of dance?

belle immagini - ok
I don't like how quickly this is played. I prefer this slightly slower. But only slightly

Walter better than Claude himself
The tempo is played as if in beat with a metronome.Very little interpretation
this music is depressing :(
