A transcription of this piece is a fascinating proposition, and this one certainly pays due homage to the orchestral original. Both Debussy and Ravel composed transcriptions, and would have applauded the idea. In fact, Debussy himself composed a transcription of this work for two pianos, and Ravel wrote a version for piano, four hands. Every flutist has to learn this famous solo; why should every player have to wait for an appointment with an orchestra to play the piece? Brava to the harpist, who succeeded at a formidable task.
inspired by their splendid performance , I will dream of nostalgic my late beloved mother who deeply loved Debussy's this work . This masterpiece digs up old memories ., and I shed tears This has a magical power From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
They can both can and can't, from an orchestration point of view the timbre is not even similar, but from a functional point of view they are in fact doing a great job portraying what's going on in the orchestra, props to the arranger, he/she did an amazing job.
Ayant toujours été réservé sur l orchestration de Debussy , cette version ne peut que me plaire , mais je suis davantage sonorement convaincu par celle avec piano. Je pressens que ma version idéale serait un quintette.
This is absolutely amazing. The flutist is playing for nearly 9 minutes straight good lord! Music of angels
I never would have believed it but this somehow captured the ENTIRE piece!!
Extraordinary arrangement! The arpeggios contextualize the orchestra so beautifully!
A beautiful performance of a gorgeus piece. Amazing acomplishment of the flutist and harpist. Thanks a lot for your art.

Bravo, Pei-San Chiu! Bravo, Yiyun Loei! Marvelous performance!
A virtuosic transcription for both players. Magnificent playing. Beautiful alchemy.
Heavenly music, what can I say, Debussy is all magic, I adore this piece.
*this is so so beautiful.*
Beautiful and evocative. Simply adore to listen to the flute and harp- the perfect combination.
このフルートのブレスはとても柔らかく、瞑想中の深い呼吸のようであり、はにかむような優しいタンギングには林間を渉る涼風にも似た心地よさを感じる。ハープの音色と音量もフルートとよく調和しており、この曲に大きな包容力と深い陰影を与えている。二人の演奏にはこけおどしの派手さやその場限りの激情はない。だから聴けば聴くほど魅力が増し、何度も繰り返し聴きたくなる。まさに千載一遇の珠玉の名演奏だ。
この曲はフランス人作曲家の手で生み出されたものであるから、当然このフルートも西洋的な技法と理論で演奏されているはずだ。しかしこの演奏には、おそらく作曲者も想定していなかったであろう幽玄で東洋的な世界 ――あたかも水墨画のような―― が広がっており、さらに言えば、あらゆるものに生命が宿る石庭の静けさすら存在している。もしも半獣神がこの演奏を聴いたなら、官能的な夢よりももっと魅力的な奥深い精神世界に気付き、水の精を口説くことなどすっかり忘れてしまうに違いない。
How can two (2) instruments sound so much like the whole orchestral arrangement?
They don't.
none: You're right. Someone couldn't get the orchestral effect from the flute and the harp.
They can both can and can't, from an orchestration point of view the timbre is not even similar, but from a functional point of view they are in fact doing a great job portraying what's going on in the orchestra, props to the arranger, he/she did an amazing job.
They capture the entire orchestra spiritually. The textures are different, sure, but there is a masterful confluence in this arrangement.
Wonderful 😊 version!
Great rendition! Great musicianship!
Wonderful ! Thank you so much, Pei -San ! ♥♥♥
So beautiful what a wonderful performance, they are great.
Truly beautiful!!
Sublime!

I should add that the flutist was wonderful as well.
That girl doesn't play the harp, she pilots it!
Hello- can you tell us who did this arrangement?
Yes please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
De qui est la version réduite pour flute et harpe d'après l'oeuvre originale pour flute et orchestre ?
Ayant toujours été réservé sur l orchestration de Debussy , cette version ne peut que me plaire , mais je suis davantage sonorement convaincu par celle avec piano.
Je pressens que ma version idéale serait un quintette.
I love this arrangement! Does someone know what edition it is? Pei-San?
Judy Loman's arrangement! sheet music is available on internet...
Wow
Who has wrote this transcription ?
😍😧🤩
It is quite well rendered with only two instruments , such a pity the harpist doesn't smile
It's a terrible transcription, a bad idea.
Why?
Could you do, perhaps, something a little better? Honestly, I don't believe that!
Nothing good to say?.....better shut up!
