Best of Debussy / Soothing, Relaxing Classical Music / Extended 

Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world 💕🥰

"Clair de lune" touched my heart as it did for the first time when I was 15 and quite naïve. I will be 69 tomorrow and feel tired of all the hatred, violence and ugliness in our "civilized" world of today. Thanks for this gentle escape tonight with the magical music of Debussy!

Our mother was a gifted pianist. As children, we always came home from school to a house filled with music. Debussy was one of her favorite composers, with his hauntingly beautiful pieces. We lost our mom in 2005, but have wonderful memories of her playing the piano; she gave us the gift of music every day. ❤

Sometimes Debussy is all i can think about.

Most beautiful music. My grandma was a concert pianist. She played Debussy at the Royal albert Hall in 1934

I am dealing with a mother who has dementia and a son who is bipolar. This music is a balm for the soul.

ah yes, Debussy. No matter how hard I try to leave, debussy always lures me back in.

There is something special about Debussy's music. Bach and Beethoven might be powerful and grand. Motzart might range from catchy and light to haunting and beautiful. But Debussy's music sounds as if full of love and care, a love that is untroubled by any of the other problems of the world, where one is completely taken to another place.

If we are at peace, we are happy. We can laugh. And everyone in the family, in the society can enjoy the joy from their own peace. To those who are reading this comment, I wish you always find peace and joy in life.

Grandpa and I lived together in a cozy house in the woods. He was a short, bald and slightly overweight tailor who worked from home. He didn't bother to look good to impress women or men and never got married. His discipline, passion for classic music, and hours of study after work made him into a self-taught pianist. In the occasional instances when I'd shut myself off in my bedroom upstairs, he knew my spirits were low. Like a master, he'd then play Debussy, his favorite composer and mine, for at least half an hour. It's been almost ten years he transitioned into the ethereal dimension. Now, from a distant memory, come the notes that filled the house and reached the small creatures in the surrounding vegetation. Whenever I evoke the image of the movement of his fingers working their magic on the keyboard.

Who knew Debussy was so soothing.

Debussy is beautiful, soothing, and relaxing. I often find myself lost for hours in Debussy.

This guy gets all Debussy.

My morning ritual: Wake up, more or less. Make a strong cup of coffee and listen to the music of Debussy before going to work. For me there is something other worldly about his music. I've listened to some of his other pieces, but these are the best. Very soothing.

The best of debussy is how good it feels

Just when I thought I was out...Debussy pulls me back in.

My love for Debussy’s music is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea From A corner of Tokyo of Japan🇯🇵🏯🎎🎍🗻🌊🎀㊗️💮🌸⛩️🎌

can you imagine what this dude would be going through if he was alive today

Having been raised with no music in my tumultuous home there was no way for me to escape my abusive conditions until I stumbled on Debussy and others whose music was being played in old films my one escape from childhood imprisonment by my disturbed mother. I absorbed this music and regularly played it in my head for my psycholigical survival. As an adult I purchased album after album which has never failed to lift my spirits and the ballets I still envision in my head. Thank you.

Debussy + Chopin + Satie ... what a triology!

Every time I hear Debussy I picture our old fashioned farmhouse in Maine with its quaint wallpaper and white-painted woodwork and braided rugs. I was 9 years old in 1975 and we had just gotten our first stereo record player with the automatic mechanism that allowed you to stack 6-8 records in queue so you didn’t have to stand by and move the arm at the end of one side. My parents played classical, gospel, hymns, and all the sacred Christmas classics. Every time I hear this music I feel the peace and contentment that still lives in my parents’ house no matter where they live. ❤️❤️❤️

The pianist is soo good with Debussy!

My and my boys love Debussy, we have Debussy everyday

Oh! Who in the history of man wrote more eloquently *ethereal* music? He was to music what Monet was to art.

There’s something about Debussy and Chopin that touches my soul more than other composers.

0:00 ~ 4:17 Reverie 4:18 ~ 6:21 La fille aux cheveaux de lin 6:22 ~ 10:05 petite suite, en bateau 10:06 ~ 14:27 arabesque 1 14:28 ~ 18:11 arabesque 2 18:12 ~ 22:59 clair de lune

I just love Debussy. I do not know where I would be without Debussy. It seems that I can not live without it, because it is a part of me. Debussy is life Debussy is everything.

My first time hearing Debussy. Beautiful, relaxing and just melts the troubles of the World away ❤️ Today is a good day.

He put his whole Debussy into these

I'm a pianist & grew up learning & hearing Debussy's pieces. They're so rich-sounding yet generally easy to play. Of all the classical genres, impressionism is my favorite & Debussy my favorite among those composers. One of the amazing things we witnessed whenever my sister would play Clare de Lune was how our cat would react to it - he would jump up into her lap and bump & rub his head all over her arm endlessly. He did this to NO OTHER MUSIC but Debussy's Clare de Lune! It was amazing to witness. It's incredible how modern his music still sounds today - stunningly beautiful note combinations & how it lifts you out of your time & space to another world. What a talent!

For a long time I didn't want to admit I liked Debussy, but thanks to my friends and family's support I was able to come out and tell them I liked Debussy. Now it makes me feel so good, sometimes Debussy is all I can think about.

I've been studying to become a surgical technologist, and Debussy has comforted me all throughout my preclinicals. I wont ever forget the feelings of excitement, exhaustion, doubt and love that Claude paints in my mind. Heres to making it through my clinical rotations!

This music, like ray of light- brake the wall of problems and stress today. Im inlove with its softness and calm. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦

I feel this man has secretly influenced a great number of musicians in various styles, all without them ever knowing. That is the essence of being an artist , who you are is forgotten, but what you have created echoes throughout time.

My 16 year old grand daughter plays classical and introduced me to Debussy, we have really bonded over classical music, going to a concert in Nov

I am listening to this in my lounge with a glass of Rose. Sublime. My eldest son came in asked me why am I listening to Clair de Lune? I explained why and then his girlfriend popped her head around the corner and said to listen to the Reverie as it blew her mind!. My son and his girlfriend mostly listen to grunge, metal etc, so to say I am shocked is an understatement. Their is hope!!!LOL

Debussy is spot on in these crazy times. I wonder how many others have thought the same in the midst of their crazy times.

I can only think of DEBUSSY that's why I came but stayed for the music

As mentioned below, Debussy takes me back to my younger years as well as takes me back to a time to which I imagine...of a quaint home with a beautiful garden of flowers in all colors, of green grass, of a lovely water fountain, of open windows with no screens and mesh curtains gently floating in the breeze, house filled with flowers and comfy furniture.

I totally love Debussy!

The world would be such a better place if everyone would just chill out a little to some classical music..

Debussy is not a musicien, he's a magician.

To him, life is some pure-hearted and cheerful kids, playing in a beautiful garden and never become old.

He put his whole Debussy into these songs

My goodness. I’m new to listening to Debussy and it’s incredible. He takes you on the most peaceful journey. It reminds me of every happy memory I’ve ever had. That’s the feeling his music envokes.

Monica you are a lucky woman with a mother like she was. I learned athome nothing about music, while I love it so much. I had to learn everything from scratch by myself and I feld myself often very lonely . But now these days fiel myself very lucky and I thank the Lord for the music of all kind! ❤😂😅😊

My sister passed away just a couple weeks ago. She loved classical music. She sang in the choir in Hamburg, Germany. I listen to Debussy thinking of her from Co. Springs, Co. USA and the years we grew up together , practicing Debussy music on the old up right piano together.

There are a lot more genuine comments than I expected

He died a relatively young man. What a loss. Can you imagine how many more beautiful works he would have created had he lived another 2o years?

Thank you, France for giving us such a genius.

Clair de lune was the first piano piece my piano teacher challenged me to learn. It took a while but I finally got it, and along the way opened myself up to Debussy’s amazing library of work.

I I loved DeBussy's melodies from the beginning. Melody is my 'thing.' DeBussy is melodic but 'modern' at the same time, meaning he's adventurous, hitting interesting chords, beyond what I could do, but so easy to appreciate. His sense of phrasing is so interactive too, ripples of arpeggios, delightful runs with counter melodies, like he's improvising, which doubtless he was, but he transcribed his spontaneous journeys. He's the whole package. The individual who played piano managed it beautifully and with perfect feeling and freedom. Thanks to ThatClassicalVibe for posting this.

Debussy’s music will quench the thirst of the soul

First time listening to Debussy. Amazing to see how many people like him.

how can you not love classical music??? this is so good sometimes i just tear up mid-listen and get goosebumps, even though i've listened to it 100 times before.

Debussy’s music which cleans away the depression deep inside me, will last forever even if I’m not in this world

My daughter played these for me. She kept me in a relaxed state of bliss.

That cascading waterfall of sound, unmistakable. Beautifully haunting.

What a genius this man was .He is by far my favorite composer of all time .

I just come to the conclusion that I love this artist. I watched a lot of elephant videos and there is a man that played classical music for elephants that were 80 years old and blind and actual tears and it was a beautiful thing. So I like the music he was playing

I love Debussy! His early work was the best. You have to get Debussy while young. But it is a little melancholic, so if you want to have a cheery day, finish on the Bach, never on Debussy.

Debussy is new to me. Really soothing. It has become one of my favorite background musics for work.

I love Debussy, it's not all sad, it's relaxing, it's fun... Even his name makes me laugh ❤😅

For someone with turbulent personal relationships Debussy still came up with these dreamy, ethereal music. Him and Tchaikovsky ❤️❤️❤️❤️

As if clear water flowing from a spring･･･ As if the scent of the forest blowing･･･ As if rose flower start to blooming･･･ Debussy's sounds quitely heal our hearts. I love his delicacy best.♥

8:03 - such a jazz/bebop chord! And the man died in 1918 - amazing.

My daughter was an incredibly gifted pianist. Every day she practice these after school diligently and I'd come home to th beautiful sound of it. It still warms my heart to think of all these years later. Unfortunately she was abducted by aliens and was prisoner swapped by the CIA but now must be held in an underground bunker and i cant get to see her only told she is ok. I pray one day she can play again, but she had no piano in spaceprison, and now they wont let me send her one

Debussy‘s music speaks to the soul The comfort of Debussy‘s music is like slumbering on the chest of my late beloved mother when I was infant

Who don’t love some good Debussy lol

I have truly loved Debussy for many years. I shared Claire de lune with my late girlfriend Michele before she died. She loved it too. Whenever I listen to Claire de lune my heart aches for my sweet Michele.

There is nothing like Debussy; I am sorry you disagree with me. Still the guy is my first, middle and last choice within classic/al composers. He's timeless. I can listen to it hours and hours and at anytime of the day and still I can't get enough. Thank you, Mr. Debussy.

Came here for the comments on Debussy, stayed for the music of Debussy

I love Debussy. Sometimes all I can think is Debussy.

Soothing enough to be Debussified. Free from bad thoughts.

All my favourite pieces of Debussy are gathered here! Thank you so much for the playlist 😀🙏

Debussy is my favorite musician.When i was trapped in my house,i was always listening to his music.

Almost all of Debussy's songs touch my soul, but especially "Clair de Lune" has a deeper meaning for me when I first arrived in London years ago and fell completely in love. Every time I listen to it, it is heart-warming, making me appreciate and feel gratitude for life!

Debussy was a true genius, maestro.

Debussy‘s comforing feeling is immeasurable, and unrivaled, and outclassing

I have come to enjoy classical music at such a late time in my life. But it is never too late. I have watched a lot of elephant videos and there is a man who plays classical music for the old elephants and they respond to the music. It is a beautiful thing. An 80 year old blind elephant that can actually cry tears and will move somewhat to the music. An old bull elephant who is violent and has to be handled by the care givers and behaves well while listening to the music. So I have listened to the music while he plays and have come to a point where I can appreciate classical music more and feel the calming effect it has on me and I could listen all day. I like Debussy. But I will branch out in time. It is beautiful for the elephants and myself. Love the elephants. They are wonderful!!

Debussy's music is that of angels of love.❤️❤️ Claire da lume, for the man I love with all my heart, whatever his name is.❤️❤️

I’ve fallen asleep to this the last 3 nights in a row 😅 I can’t stop playing it

Debussy's composition is eternal. It permeates the body, soul and spirit.

My grandfather would play Debussy for hours, often with us kids in the room. He made it a family experience. I know he's up in heaven now looking down upon us with Debussy on his breath.

Claude must’ve got all Debussy back in the day. Absolute Chad.

I was exposed to classical music early in my childhood years. Exposure is the key. Many people today don’t have a conditioned ear to appreciate, never mind to listen, to this timeless music genre.

I love Debussy

i love how classic music evokes the same feelings and thoughts in all people without lyrics

"I enjoyed the video, the melody is truly delightful. Have a great day!"

The first time, I heard Claude Debussy was in the Twilight movies. I fell in love with it then, and I'm strong enough not to give the internet I sec. of my mind. I will always find his music passionate, relaxing, and ethereal. Any story can be placed in there if you let your mind drift there. I use music like this for doing my artwork, I find I can concentrate a whole lot better, and I can feel the lines in my mind flowing with each note. It's pure magic, and I love it !❤❤❤

I was only 18 seconds into this music and already had a noisey commercial. So I stopped and put my CD on instead. No interruptions

Remember to always finish in the Bach. Never in Debussy.

So gorgeous. I could listen all day. Thank you Debussy for making life more rich.

Indescribable beauty Indescribable comfort The dreams of my youth fade as I grow older and sink to the bottom of mymemories Debussy's music transcends time and borders, My soul remains in the Far East

Some just speak to a soul never uttering a word ✨ C. Debussy does this for me 🌺

Running through Debussy's such a great start to the day.

Oh Debussy, I love Debussy! Sometimes all I can think about is Debussy. And this pianist! This pianist is so good with Debussy!

Listening to this just derailed me from my work. For me this cannot be background music. You have to stop and savor the beautiful moments.

The internet has ruined the word 'Debussy' for me
