Debussy: Children's Corner - Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli 

Surely you don't think this is on par with most of Mozart's sonatas... I can picture a 12yo playing this perfectly and without further need for maturity, but I just can't see the same for Mozart. I mean, if we're talking about playing beyond just precision and right notes/pedaling. Can you imagine a child understanding, just as an example, Mozart's A minor?

@@ulengrau6357 you need to overcome every difficulties to understand simplicity. It’s probably the highest level of musical maturity. There is no child who can play children’s corner with that simplicity. Children’s corner are definitely not a technical challenge but a musical one.

Wow, I really love your thoughts on this. Very well said and absolutely correct

Almost?

@@GabrielaFavre Yes Almost. Perfection is not from our world

Well for me it’s perfect

@@GabrielaFavre From this absolutely incredible player Benedetti exists other recordings of Debussy´s music. Pieces that are like 100 times more difficult,... actually I didn´t find mistakes there. In this relatively easy one he actually plays some wrong notes ... I actually couldn´t believe it haha ...maybe he was to lazy to do one more take. He indeed was one of the most nerdy perfectionists of all times... >I< If you want to listen to something really awful difficult played by him - listen to Brahms Paganini Variations or more easy listening Ravel´s Piano Concerto in G major :-)

​@@elvioliniste You can submit a perfect homework assignment, if the requirement is to copy a simple page of addition and subtraction. You can notate a perfect C Major scale in treble clef, if the requirement is that all notes from middle to the next highest C be present. Well, maybe you can't do it, but I know I could do both perfectly.

No il est pas Chopin ni Bach ni Debussy il est just super super bon a interpreter leurs pièces

Debussy o Arturo?

@@Abba08-d6f Penso di Arturo

Non era un interprete? E cosa mai era? Chopin rinato, Debussy rianimato dalla tomba?

@@cescorosa61 penso che quello che lui volesse intendere fosse che Michelangeli fu molto fedele alla composizione. Non so se mi spiego.

No, non ti spieghi. Ad esempio, Pollini (che suona ben diversamente da ABM) cosa sarebbe? Un infedele? Esistono solo interpretazioni, credimi. Saluti.

@@cescorosa61 hai ragione

@@cescorosa61 non c'entra nulla , ma Pollini ha in comune la stessa data di nascita con Michelangeli, il 5 gennaio, ovviamente qualche anno dopo. Imperssionante in Pollini la somiglianza con Rubinstein, figlio illegittimo?

OHHH YEAAAAAH o sware I want to do this!! 💕

@@MartaSilva-mv2eg do it, its worth every minute ❤

I can help you with kids

@@jessepinkman2239 sir? This is disgusting You don't even know how old I am. Please do not respond with this kind of comments.

Anche io sto aspettando, magari...

in Russia, forse. Qui agli studenti non si insegna neanche il setticlavio e il solfeggio ormai, nelle scuole si imparano le canzoncine.

@@francescoanastasio2021 vero! La musica classica, invece sarebbe una medicina per molti sbandati. Per la disciplina, per l'amore, per le emozioni che sa dare.

È come aspettare il Messia

me too

Gieseking and no other is canon

@@jasonhurd4379 Shut up.

^^^

Actually the Debussy authority par excellence is Walter Gieseking, not Michelangeli

​@@jasonhurd4379I love them both, but only Benedetti Michelangeli give us that delicious atmospheres entre deux siècles

Go to Settings and adjust the graphic equaliser until the sound is as you prefer it.

And your opinion doesn’t make any difference.

U serious?

You overrate your opinion

There’s a reason for that. Debussy and Michelangeli are not overrated. That’s just fact. If you deny it, you’re a pillock.

sad that you are such a little tart, isn't it? moron!
