Debussy: Clair de lune ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Jean-Christophe Spinosi

piano version is more dramatic, orchestra's is more magical and dreamy, so i love both

Playing this in a concert was one of the best experiences in my life.

Someone just HAD to cough

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, and this orchestra does it well. Thank you.

Non ci sono parole per descrivere la bellezza di questa musica. So solo di avere le lacrime agli occhi. Mio Dio, ma cosa stava pensando Debussy quando la compose? Che cosa o chi lo ispirò in quel momento? È sublime.

Listening to “Clair de Lune” always evokes memories of my dear friend Marie Louise from Paris, France. Despite her broken English, her French accent was like music to my ears, captivating me from the moment we met. She embodies the same softness, gentleness, and kindness as this piece, and I can’t help but feel enveloped by her warmth whenever I think of her. I don’t know when I’ll see her again, but I pray for her safety and well-being every day. She’s truly a treasure in my life, much like the beauty of this timeless melody.

I long to have my mom and dad back when I hear this

There is not one day I dont think of that piece....

My parents - married 68 years - had this played at their wedding. My husband and I - married 40 years & counting - also had it played as part of our pre-ceremony music. The tension, pain, understanding and freedom is palpable. Beautiful.

Wouldn’t it be great to run a flying boat around the world with this piped into your headset as you glide through the air effortlessly?

Why smoke weed, when you have Debussy?

The french horn part is so majestic

To me, this may be the most beautiful piece of music ever written. There are parts in it that to this day make me cry, it touches my very soul. What a beautiful rendition, I also love the solo piano version.

This is so beautiful. The orchestra version feels more like gliding with the stars while the piano version feels like throwing your best jewelry into the sweeping sea

Meu Deus … ouvir essa melodia com todos esses acordes é a sensação da alma sair do corpo e viajar por outras esferas !! É uma melodia que nos traz tanta emoção e ao mesmo tempo uma nostalgia ….🥹 Deus é perfeito e deu ao homem a capacidade de criar uma maravilha dessas!!!

I absolutely love Claire de Lune on the key board but played by orchestra is absolute dynamite.

I was lucky enough to be born into a house with music. My dad loves to play piano, and he wasn’t the most talkative person, but when he started to play piano, you could feel him speaking to you. When I was 2 years old, he would sit me on his lap and play this song. When I was 14 years old, he was diagnosed with cancer, and they told him he wouldn’t live to the end of the year (it was August) He lived for two more years, defying everything the doctors had told him. He died surrounded by his family, and his last words to me were, “never stop playing, can you please, play for me? And not forget me? Can you do that for me?” At his funeral, I was asked if I would play a song, and I chose to play this song, the song he played while I would sit on his lap. The song that could bring back a thousand memories. And now, 8 years later, I sat down at the piano with my beautiful 2 year old girl, who we decided to name Claire, and played this song for her.

Indeed, it's the epitome of serenity in this orchestral form. But I have to admit the piano version sounds like a bead of pearls being scattered in front of my eyes/ears, and this impression is lost in the multi-instrument rendering. Still, a beatiful and fantastically played piece. Thank you!

Amazing flutist; such control at the end!

that piece is the 8 wonder of the world! one of the best masterpiece of all time for sure
