This is what Debussy should sound like. Moravec's radiant tone and profound feel for color, and the mysterious atmosphere of Debussy are glorious! I only wish he had recorded more Ravel. His recording of his Sonatine is stunning.
Debussy's Images are some of the most wonderful piano pieces ever written. Thank you so so much for the upload, your choice of recording was fantastic honestly
Debussy was SO original There's a carefree aspect to his music, contrasting with the emotionalism of the previous romantic period,which is relaxing and often expressing contentment and wonder
Here you can actually envisage the rhythmic swaying of the branches in the wind,and the fluttering of the leaves in the bursts of wind and the bursting through of sunlight into the tree I love this work
Debussy was a genius at depicting mystery like the mystery of the stillness in the moonlight Nature in all its forms,was mngeniously depicted in Debussy's works,something virtually vomlletely new in music -- rain,snow falling ,a bleak sniw strewn landscape, streams,fog,wind and gusts,the sea, moving clouds, moonlight,forests leaves drifting in the wind,dead leaves, sunshine bursting through,swaying branches,swimming fish etc
I can't help but imagine that Eric Satie and Claude didn't share some of their best themes with one another at the Chat Noir. I haven't drank Absinth... but I hear they tipped a few and saw the green fairy. Moravec has the most sensitive technique of anyone I ever heard before.
Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction
Belas composições, a essência de Debussy, em puros sons, acordes perfeitos, cadências ímpares ... Tudo de melhor que esse Mago da Sonoridade ofereceu à Humanidade!! Parabéns pela sensibilidade! 🎼🎶🎶🎶
He owes a tremendous amount to Wagner. It took him years to escape the influence. There is also the wonderful influence of Chabrier--the most underrated composer.
@@johnryskamp2943 I hear no musical debt whatsoever to Wagner of all composers. For me, Debussy occupies an entirely different world from Wagner’s dense pomposity. Just zero common ground.
This upload combines Books 1 & 2. You can find this 1982 digital recording on a double CD, "Moravec Plays Debussy and Chopin." Note that it was originally released as a single disc "Moravec Plays Debussy."
Thank you. Following the music is as breathtaking as listening to it. To have conceived such a manner of approach, I suppose one had to be living in that time. How lovely it must have been.
Debussy's music is almost ALWAYS about Reflection. 🙂 I always loved how F.M. Rogers' pieces were extremely introspective, whimsical, and airy like Debussy's as well.
Beautiful interpretations. The Images is a masterpiece in itself, both books. But the ending of Reflets dans l’eau is unparalleled. In my opinion, the most beautiful ending in the piano repertoire.
I agree! The way that three note melody is there in the beginning but get's presented so clearly in the end. What does it mean? I always wonder. It's so beautifully done. Do you know the ending of Feux d'artifice (the last prelude of the second book)? It is ingenious in a similar, but different way as well.
I can't believe I'm just now hearing this amazing recording! I feel as if I've just uncovered a hidden pearl. As much as I love the magnificent Rogé recording, this resplendent recording by Moravec makes me feel like I'm truly listening to this for the first time 😍😍
@stravinskyfan Unfortunately, the Medtnaculus video of the Rogé recording got taken down. I found this recording, which is the same audio as the Medtnaculus video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--c2lzLsd774.htmlsi=9HAs036tKMKfjWbh. I have no clue why it got taken down, but it's a real shame 😔
It seems that Claude Debussy participated in building the path leading to Jazz in 1905 : at times i hear Bill Evans and other works from Jazz composers of the 20th century. I also heard the premices of Rhapsody in Blue around 3:33 ... amazing ♥

Trifonov definitely, not even close. I disagree about Michelangeli though, I think his interpretation is wonderful. I would definitely agree that Moravec's sound is much more controlled, in a good way. As to understanding the text, I think Michelangeli shows a full understanding as well, but arrives at drastically different conclusions than Moravec. He was always like that, he had a very particular sound so most pieces he plays sound like Michelangeli and not like the composer. Some may like it and others may not, that's ok haha
