This piece was never recorded by Debussy, the pieces he played for Welte Mignon are well documented, this one is unfortunately not one of them. In this time of (accidental) misinformation we all need to be more accurate.
Is it known who is playing?
I actually found out in the meantime who is playing - this is a piano roll from the Condon Collection, played by Rudolf Ganz. As I said, NOT played by Debussy.
This is so different to almost every other interpretation I've ever heard. His 16th notes almost sound like they are swung!
its his live trademark
What a masterpiece. I always was in love with this piece but hearing HIM playing it WITH HIS OWN HANDS? Hands down the best interpretation we can hear. I have goosebumps. He was a genius.
Absolutely! Always great to hear this masterpiece played by the master himself :)
Stunning how different his crescendo is at 1:09 compared to every other version I have heard.
I agree completely. I was talking with my daughter who is a pianist and I mentioned that I loved this version better than the others as the pace is a bit quicker and that crescendo makes it feel different. She has smaller hands and said that is such a tough stretch to make at that pacing.
Hm, I was disappointed. Pardon me for saying it (I'm not a musician so maybe I lack appreciation for some aspects), but it sounds like at 1:11 he made an error...
@@Hexanitrobenzene - No mistakes there.
@@anthonyjensen8347 Strange thing at 1:41, i dont ear the g flat re played...before the E flat
@@DjSab1972 - It's there, but it's very quiet.
this was so light and so fast, just like a summer breeze. Very interesting how rigorous he was with the rhythm, which is not something you expect in impressionism. It's so cool we can hear him!
Leaving another comment to combat misinformation: this is not played by Debussy, but by Rudolf Ganz in 1916. It’s a piano roll from the Condon Collection.
I imagine Claude Debussy created this wonderful composition for the girl with the flaxen hair like me😊
How did five people NOT like this?
What a genius! Soul music!
Congratulations you played yourself
My god.. what a luck to listen debussy plays himself his composition.. there's a lot to learn...
Piano rolls don’t usually have the the subtlety of live playing. Actually this is a good quality piano roll.
Me enseñaron a amar la musica de Debussy y de esto haca mucho tiempo y verdaderamente con esa sonido tan peculiar que cada dia le encuentro algo nuevo en su musica
Wonderful. Interestingly, so jaunty the way HE does it. So easy to make it sound like maudlin prog rock.
Heavenly.
I played this piece recently. Debussy is one of my favorite composers. What a wonderful performance!
So lovely!
So many thanks for sharing it🙏🙏🙏
Madoka brought me here.
IN MADOKA IS THIS BEATIFUL PIECE??? WHAAAAAAT
Thanks for sharing this recording of this great prelude, played by the master himself. A little quicker than some, but a great performance. The direction "very calm... " doesn't necessarily mean slow, anyway.
Interesting - molto rubato. Sound quality, as could be expected. Was this from a piano roll?
yes it is from a piano roll, according to the description anyway
💗
OK
I heard this on Classical Radio yesterday while driving my car. And the music made an impression upon me. Beautiful. Was he infatuatedly in love with with such a girl?
🙏
Is it really debussy *playing*
Always transports me. To she.
Amazing.
Hes about as good at pp as I am . Much much better composer 😁
Debussy was said to have sightread The Rite Of Spring In a 4 Hand Piano Reduction with Stravinsky a year before it’s premiere.
This is piano roll...
This is him??
Take a look at this and you will understand m.ua-cam.com/video/JQ47g2u1pIk/v-deo.html
The roll was made 1913 and Debussy was playing himself then. And you do hear his way on an other piano. So sort of, it is the way he played it, with the sound of an other piano. So yes, he is playing. 1913”’!!! Isn’t it amazing!!!
It is indeed him, yes
Unlikely. He didn't play this prelude among the five he recorded for Welte-Mignon. Only these: "Danseuses de Delphes", "Le vent dans la plaine", "La cathédrale engloutie", "La danse de Puck" and "Minstrels.
ok, so Debussy doesn't respect any of the dynamics he wrote himself. I am confused;)
I am not sure, but piano rolls don't necessarily the differences of dynamics (and of timbre) intended by the pianist ; but the nuances of tempo, certainly, and I find them fascinating in this case
@@madrigal1956 The Welte-Mignon sistem was the most advanced one on recording the exact dynamics of the pianist. Many composers changed their interpretations of their own work, depending on the change of their taste.
Hello, I cannot find your email . I would like to ask rights to use 2 recordings from Debussy for a podcast please . Thank you
You’re alloud to, it’s Debussy he died over 75 years ago so it’s free game
Because of the use of this recording and rights I would like to get in touch with Adagietto.
