That wide shot at around 5:23 when you can see the orchestra all moving in time was wonderful. This composition always makes me feel like everything's going to be ok.
The music is gilded in idyllic mystery and is a land of rainbows and unicorns.
I WATCH THIS OVER AND OVER! This video is enjoyable not only to watch the amazing performances of the musicians and conductor but to listen to such a beautiful piece of music. Thank you so very much.
i echo you
Oh how I understand you. It's because of Debussy. One of my favorite composers. It's simple, light, soft, infinitely beautiful, hard to describe because it seems magical. Maybe pure...
4:15 to 6:15 is the most beautiful 2 minutes of music I think I have ever heard and ever will hear. This music truly moves me and so strongly expresses many complex feelings, and while I might struggle to describe them in words, my soul has no difficulty understanding.
To me ,It sounds like pure love !
Completely agree--this gives me goosebumps every time.
This feels like an ascension into Heaven. The conductor has exquisite, absolute control of the orchestra; you can see it, and hear it.
Orchestral design down to smallest detail observed by the LSO, keeping Claude's desire that it should sound as though it had not been written down. Two tiny mini cymbals, two - then one, harps, solo flute and oboe - world class - no nerves. Bravo!
The fantastic Cor Inglese !
It's surprising to see how amazing and fascinating this piece remains; 130 years later
It's Like a marriage of colors being mixed together elegantly and soundly, like the harps are so beautiful along with the mixer of the violin and baritones being with rest of the instruments. Truly a work of art.
This is wonderful - a great recording of a truly great performance. And a respectful silence from the audience before the applause begins. It's my favourite version on CZcams.
what it sounds like when human consciousness is transcended with orchestral music. thank you Debussy and LSO. life is patiently waiting.
The comfort and wonderfulness of Debussy‘s music are out of this world, and irreplaceable
This masterpiece digs up old memories , and I shed tears

This piece is beautiful! いつか、東京に行きたいよ！

Thankyou
Tokyo waits for you forever
I hope you are well
I woke up in the middle of the night dreaming of this piece.
Funny you should write that. Hearing this piece to me was like getting lost in the most beautiful dream...one of which I didn't want to wake up from.
What a fabulous comment 😄
Same here !
Thanks for posting this wonderful performance of one of the most sublime pieces of music ever written. Maurice Ravel went so far as to say in an interview that it was his innermost wish to die to the sounds of this 'unique marvel in the whole of music'.
I love the way the conductor extends the magical mood in total silence at the end. Wonderful!
It’s time to come back again and listen to this most beautiful piece brought out so magnificently by FXR. I’ve never heard a more beautifully performed version. I listen to this with earphones and transcend to another place; an unbelievable experience!
This is my favorite version of this piece and I listen to it regularly. It brings me to tears each time I hear it-today, especially so for some reason. How lucky I am to have this available to listen to whenever I want to hear its loveliness.
This is the best version I have ever heard of this magic piece of music. I adore Debussy!!!!!
One of the most sublime musical performances I've ever heard. Thank you so much for this LSO
Thank you for the wonderful fusion of the tactful peaceful sounds! I love it!!!
By Claude Debussy, one of the best composers
Fantastico!!! Grande interpretazione ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
Questa musica 🎶 strapperebbe un sorriso 😅 a chiunque ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
I return time and time again... this is where I find my inner peace!.... Thank you for sharing!
The first flute played the beginning note perfectly!
*¡Bravo!. ¡Magnífico!... La flauta maestra, el oboe, el clarinete, las cuerdas, el propio Maestro François-Xavier.* Una sublime interpretación... al mismo nivel que el Maestro Jorge Solti y la Orquesta de Chicago en 1974.
Pure magic - thank you for posting
This is the most beautiful renditions of this piece that I've loved and loved for years and years! Thank you so much...
Stunning. Superb woodwind playing.
A wonderful performance
Can’t add much more to previous comment, sublime indeed, and share Ravels wish. Patricia
Wow! What an exceptional performance. I really love it!
Breathtakingly beautiful… like a beautiful dream.
Debussy ha aperto la via al '900 ❤❤❤Giuseppe
I cried listening to this
So it's the battle of the Flute vs. the Clarinet vs. the Oboe, I love it!
A fine performance indeed!🤩🤩🤩
That lovely tri-tone.
I'm on my fifth prestige in the Mesozoic Valley in Cell to Singularity and this beautiful piece of music mocks me as I try to get the achievement medals for 200 of the last four creatures.
Beautiful!
Heavenly with earbuds!
Magnifico
For this reason i love Debussy❤
Un fleuron de la musique française du 19ème siècle ! Un compositeur génial.
Obra genial. Gran interpretación. Bravo.
Stunning
flawless
Awesome ! It's just like peacefulness translated into music. Thanks for sharing this with the world. It's like a Beacon of light amidst the darkness of mankind. :) I am slightly drunk, but I love you London Symphony Orchestra. A very big and warm hug from the pitch of black darkness that is Brazil nowadays.
Maravillosa obra que me encoge el alma de ese compositor Debussy.
Excellent unity
Great principal flute!!!!!!
I just have to unload something here. I just watched a dreadful BBC music special about the Romantics, with some dreadful English lady with two curtains of hair and big teeth, narrating with a constant, fatuous smile on her face. She began to talk about de-BEWW-sea, and when introducing this piece said, "This marvellous orchestral feast portrays the wonder and awe of a young deer as he slowly walks through a forest glen." A young deer. A fawn. *_BAMBI!_* The BBC thinks a "faun" is *_Bambi,_* not some langourous half-drunk satyr wallowing around with stray goddesses. Even _Wikipedia_ gets it right: "The goat man, more commonly affiliated with the Satyrs of Greek mythology or Fauns of Roman, is a bipedal creature with the legs and tail of a goat and the head, arms and torso of a man and is often depicted with goat's horns and pointed ears. These creatures in turn borrowed their appearance from the god Pan of the Greek pantheon. They were a symbol of fertility, and their chieftain was Silenus, a minor deity of Greek mythology." The huge stir this piece caused when it debuted in Paris had little to do with the sensuality of the music, and everything to do with WHAT it portrayed: a lustful pagan goat-man in full rut. But oh, no, the good experts at the BBC, ALL of them, for surely the text must have been vetted by all of them, think that Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un Faune is about A BABY DEER, a *FAWN,* *_Bambi!_* I don't know why I expected better from a British "music expert". But shit, I knew what a "faun" was when I was _eight_ and my parents dragged me off to classical concerts.
ferociousgumby - made me laugh ! No idea who curtain head woman is though !
Funny ! Thanks you .
Unique!
太棒了👍👍👍
Formidable!
This composition is the thing closest to magic.
A little fast for my taste, but greatly performed. The best music from our civilization.
JO B Debussy’s metronome markings are even faster... I think we need to adjust our taste to Debussy’s, not the opposite, no?
@@simonrivardconductor agreed. I've listened to many versions, some even approaching 12 minutes (which to me is starting to not do the piece justice already), however, I just came across an 8:55 version earlier on and I thought that's too fast either 😂
Gareth Davies, principal flute and huge lungs!
Agree, John ! from 1:21 to 1:40 Garteth Davies simply played away, he didn't stop to breathe thus making the whole phrase sound absolutely dreamy
As a fellow flautist , I applaud Gareth Davies' wonderfully lyrical interpretation of one of the most beautiful pieces evert written for flute - or indeed for anything .
Yes! I 100% agree with you on that one. I've been friends with him on Facebook since March 2018!!
Absolutely... it's one of the most difficult pieces for the flute, not so much from a technical point of view: musicality is what really counts and Gareth Davies plays from his soul....
Musica soave e magica
I did not know that Anthony Hopkins was regent ... :)... Very nice! Thank you!
i'm listening to this on my akg k400 headphones
2:31 he looks like an angry Debussy lol
pozdrawiam cieplutko!
Debussy was of God.
Divin...
Why on earth does the title mention the viola player when the brass and woodwinds, most especially the flautist, is the main performer in this piece?
It was part of a concert which also included Bartók Viola Concerto. Each piece on the programme was one file. We had the whole concert in a playlist up for 90 days, then when that passed left this file for everyone to enjoy.
@@LondonSymphonyOrchestra Thank you for the explanation. It’s very beautiful as I’ve posted several times. 🥰
Everyone in LIVP RISE!!
Well this failed 😂😅
This song played in the movie.."The Portrait of Jennie."
is anyone else here for RCM music history?

SI VIENES DE LOS DEBERES DE DAVID NO TE MOLESTES EN MIRAR LOS COMENTARIOS NO HAY NADA://
Roth is the heir to Kleiber and Boulez
Look at 1:30.!
The guy next to the flautist looks like one of my friends from high school. Probably isn't tho.
Mat be not ?
I have the same feeling l would try to contact the orchestra information department !
You’re insane

What’s up with the title
Hmm yes, CZcams seems to have taken all the special accents added with HTML and munged them up in the last few days. How flippin annoying!
London Symphony Orchestra Ah well it's gone now so that's good
Yes we've been through and put the characters back in again. There may be others further down the channel that this has also happened to, in case you spot them! :)

No, it starts when you press play. The absolute silence in the beginning is essential for this piece.
Some conductors might not even start, if they hear a single sound from the audience.
Brian de Palma movie anyone? 😁😬
Yes , Passion ,so what ?

Commercials mid song? What the fuck?
shdhhd I was playing merry go round of life and lost boy on my live stream last night and got a copyright thing for this song 😭
Is that Anthony Hopkins conducting?😅
extremelly fast...
Au Arias - not according to Debussy it isn’t !
@@007KayElleKay Is the sound of Heaven! Bravo, Debussy! Bravo, Roth!
I just came here because I heard that this music would turn me into a degenerate.🤔
The beauty of the music was damaged by the conductor. He was too much in a hurry. He didn't allow the music to breathe.
