Debussy: Arabesque No. 1 in E major (Alain Lefèvre)

- French-born Canadian pianist Alain Lefèvre makes his Warner Classics debut with My Paris Years, a collection of classic piano pieces written by some of the most beloved French composers: Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Erik Satie, and César Franck. Album available now: w.lnk.to/mpyLY
“French literature and art are driven by clarity of thought and a form of elegance,” he declares, a sentiment which carries throughout the music chosen for this album. Every piece channels these very principles into their depiction of a Paris that is, at once, somber yet vivid, peaceful yet full of life, sentimental yet carefree.

Finally someone playing this who isn’t just rushing through it! I’ve been through like 7 other videos cuz they all just rush through the song.
You realize you've written something out of this world when people cry at EVERY listening of your piece. And I do... Well done, mr. Debussy
I can’t express how beautiful this recording is! The pianist’s interpretation is just lovely. Since I discovered it, I listen to this recording several times a day, especially on my way to work(extremely stressful). It not only calms me but also energizes me for my day to come. I didn’t think the two were possible simultaneously. It really makes my day!
I've loved this piece since childhood, & have been listening to many renditions of this piece as I've been learning it. This feels & sounds closest to how my mind/hands WANT to play it.
I love your dynamics, your tempo changes.
I don't want to copy your performance, that's impossible & pointless; but consider me inspired & also validated, because I hear things I'm trying to do (it's a process...) that I hadn't in other's versions, & love the results.
Many thanks for sharing this lovely performance!
O MY GOD! Your comment is so spot on to my thought process / feelings. Since childhood I’ve listened to this. Just now listening again after so many years. The original version just didn’t speak to me. Then i found this video. It has me in all the right feelings. For some reason this is what I hear when I think about the song!!!
Same! I heard it during nap time in kindergarten lol and it has stuck with me since .
simply my favourite interpretation of this piece
Finally someone who doesn't play this like it's video game music.
Yes Indeed! Well said...
Agree
So true
I'm a self taught eastern classical musician, I'm just so amazed that I still have so much to learn... I just found this piece on my keyboard's song bank today... It feels like raindrops are pouring over my skin on a beautiful day with a warm gentle breeze... I sat next to my keyboard for 3 hours as i completely lost myself in this melody... smiling, dreaming, weeping, hoping... it made me feel so ecstatic...
I had a whole rant about the unfortunate state of the present music industry and how music like this will never ever be re-created ever again... But i feel so overwhelmed by the sheer pleasures and the emotions i just experienced... so i'm gonna shut up and continue listening.
You sir did a Fantastic Job! I wasn't even on this planet when i was listening... It was like an Out of Body Experience! I dont understand why Westerners come to my country seeking Spiritual guidance from Holy Men and Gurus... cuz all one has to do is listen to this Masterpiece right from the convenience of their home... Its an experience comparable to Meditating with the Monks on a himalayan mountain top... Kudos!
C' est un petit bijou 😘
La meilleure interprétation que j'ai entendue à ce jour. L'interprète prend son temps et nous permet de savourer chaque moment. La pédale est dosée a la perfection. Magnifique. Bravo.
I was deeply drawn to this perfectly harmonious performance. Just want to say thank you from Tokyo.
Eu tambem
This is how it should be, with space for the music to sing. Far too many pianists are guilty of rushing it, and however skilled they may be, it just doesn't work when taken too fast.
Yes please play it slowly!! I think this speed is perfect for this piece (I play it far too slowly)
One of the best performances I have heard in a long time.
Now THIS is the definitive ellegance that such a masterpiece deserves. Gorgeous rendition!
The best version on youtube
Beautifully played, that was wonderful and nuanced just how I would like to, were I able, lol!
The lack of sustain pedal in this performance is really refreshing and demonstrates a real mastery of the piece
?
Played with the elegance and beauty this music deserves. Thank you!
the most beautiful version of my favorite song !! Bravo 👏🏻👍🏻
this is by far the best arabesque i've ever heard
Wow pièce tout en douceur! Cette mélodie fait rêver à la légèreté . J’imagine voir danser ma petite fille au ballet sur un nuage floconneux! Jouer avec beaucoup de talent. Merci de partager!
J ai eu il y a quelques minutes cette belle musique classique dans la tête brièvement.
Such beautiful playing. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful rendition and love the visuals as well. Such good balance of timing.
He plays it so well
Bravo Monsieur !!!!!!!!!!
Quelle calme merci🧀🍵🥐
Bravo Alain comme d 'habitude tu nous transporte....
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Great video editing.
The music is fantastic but what ur hearing and his hands are not synced at all. Everything else was great
I heard this piece last night being played by Lucy on the 'Piano' and had to find another performance of this such divinely beautiful piece. Such delicate playing like sparkling raindrops on a spring flower. I love it. Thank you! 🙂
It’s *winter*
No musician can describe the aesthetics musically like Debussy
Besides Chopin’s Etude Op. 25 No.1. This piece is my favorite. Play it at my funeral. ♥️
The best version of this piece, with 18k views?!
He played the beginning (and the entire piece) with his whole heart, this was the best version i've ever heard
@@batmintongaming3559 by far
@@aldoringo439but please listen to Samson François !
I can feel you play it softly, mr alain lefevre! I can also learn many things about piano's details
The video certainly makes it clear who the subject is intended to be.
Bene! Meraviglioso!🤩
Best. As written in the score. Perfect
I really admire your interpretation of Debussy.
The best!❤ and nice video clip as well✨👍🏻💯
C'est beau ça ne se dit pas. On devrait en entendre beaucoup plus souvent à la télévision, ça vaudrait peut-être la peine de l'ouvrir.
amazing
superbe pianiste qu'elle belle découverte….Merci radio classique!
Bravo.
Well done. This music makes me feel like I'm in Heaven now
연주. 너무 좋습니다
I love love love this interpretation of the piece!
But, I was really distracted by how the playing in the video didn't sync with the audio! I love watching the playing of music while listening so it kind of spoiled the experience for me :/
I don't now why. I am feeling good after listening and seeing this video.
When I know I'm going to die in 5 minutes, I will listen to this.
His performance has a great healing effect, and a panacea for the soul
beautiful
Sehr schön!
I heared it when I want to stay calm.
Bravo Alain!
Magnificent...
Agora um comentário em português😜; vou partilhar minha "miragem"/"viagem" toda vez que oiço e toco esta obra prima de Debussy:
Tipo...:
É no piano, mas se prestar bem a atenção nota-se que é música árabe mesmo, acho que a palavra "arabesco" que a denomina porque era uma gíria que ele usava para denominar uma peça que o agradava ou considerava uma obra prima de arte(tipo ele costumava dizer "tem ah, peça tal é um verdadeiro arabesco da Música tal", porque arabescos são aqueles trabalhos minuciosos de artistas árabes para as paredes de palácios, mesquitas e cômodos de luxo em mansões - porque o Oriente também tava na moda naquela altura), vai além da inspiração do compositor no que ele viu naquela feira de artigos orientais, onde ele inclusive se inspirou também para a criação de "Pagodes" e "Sarau/Soirée em Granada".
Mas pronto sem mais delongas(😜😅) meu comentário do que sinto sempre que oiço a todas as versões deste primeiro arabesco(também o que imagino enquanto o executo em casa):
O início é como se fosse o sol a nascer no deserto e a visualização pra paisagem(0:13) passos lentos na areia, até o horizonte(na parte 1:19)
A parte lenta(A partir de 1:30) é como se fosse uma marcha duma caravana árabe vagando no deserto com os camelos, barracas armadas e trouxas ao longo do dia, e/ou ainda como se parassem para comer e tocar um bocadinho para fazerem uma pausa, inclusive tocando a melodia dessa parte em instrumentos árabes, de maneira improvisada porém inspirada no feeling do monento.
Aí o final na parte da recapitulação da sequencia de tercinas é como se fosse a visualização à paisagem desértica enquanto começa o entardecer(2:38) no deserto, eles Armando as os pertences nas trouxas, baús e malas (03:00), continuando a viagem(3:13) e por último, termina como se o sol se pusesse(3:57) no horizonte do deserto até anoitecer(04:05 - 04:15)
Espero que mesmo quem não imagina e sente o mesmo que eu curta essa experiência....
Abração!
magnifique
I feel indescribably lonely in his beautiful performance
Très jolie😘
impresionante
Welcome
This might be what love sounds like
Probably one of the, most beautiful pieces of music, ever written.
First time hearing a Pleyel. It sounds... very mellow. Neither warm nor bright (maybe slightly more toward the warm than bright), and clear sound (neither sharp nor round). I didn't know it sounded like marshmallow.
It's comparable to some New York Steinway I'd say, although Steinway is less mellow, more clear and ever so slightly brighter.
The best example on piano... still searching for synthesizer
1:14 that piano 🔥
Played on Chopin's favorite piano brand!
Maravilhoso sublime muito bonito 🌜🌹💚🌛PARABÉNS 🌻SAUDADES 🇵🇹
❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥰
美妙的音乐
That's 100 me. I can't play piano without my fake Rolex 😂
C'est pour moi la plus belle version. Il y a quelquechose qui me gêne au début dans toutes les autres versions, mais là c'est fluide.
*hoche la tête*
Espléndido.
I am immersed in pleasure while listening to his exquisite performance .
From Tokyo Japan where deeply love Debussy .
Which national are you watching this video ？
モロッコから
東京に行きたーい
United Kingdom : )
Singapore
Paris
Brazil
This is how it's meant to be played.
Well, not really. It's just how you prefer it.
Omg, it's a Rolex
Solid gold with the blue bezel?
Beautiful rendition
Omg it's a Hermes belt.
LMAO
More bling than most rappers. 😱😄
Repeat 00:00
A Pleyel piano, wow. How very French.
Greetings, greetings fellow star gazers!
its pretty
“Strangely however it’s not the money that would stop me from buying this car”
This one seems to be the right tempo. Others sound a little too fast.
i’m here from a seonghwa fanfiction✌🏽✌🏽
Well done! I just uploaded this too :)!
Now a comment that might sound weird but😜; I will share my "mirage"/"trip" from every time I hear and play this Debussy masterpiece:
Well....:
I know It is played on the piano(though there's a lot of other versions in other kind of instrumentatio), but if you pay close attention, you can see that it is really Arabic music allusion, I think the word "arabesque" is not only what he used call it as a jargon to name a piece that pleased him or he also used consider it as a masterpiece of art(you know, he used to say "Uhhh, there's such a piece that is a true arabesque of music", because arabesques are those meticulous works of Arab artists for the walls of palaces, mosques and luxury rooms in mansions - as the Orient was also in fashion at that time too), goes beyond the inspiration of the composer in what he saw at that fair of oriental articles, where he was also inspired by the creation of "Pagodes" and "Soirée in Granada".
But ready without further ado hehe (😜😅), my comment is about what I feel whenever I listen to all versions of this first arabesque (also what I imagine while I am executing it at home):
The beginning is like the sun rising in the desert and the view to the landscape (0:13) slow steps in the sand, until the horizon (in part 1:19)
The slow part (From 1:30) is like a march by an Arab caravan wandering in the desert(in a just found oasis on the middle of desert) with their camels, armed tents and bundles throughout the day, and / or as if they stop to eat and play a little bit of qanun, lyra or rebab and to take a break, even playing the melody of that part in an improvised but inspired way as they take a rest, stopped on desert under some trees in an oasis.
Then the end before the recap of the triplet sequence is like viewing the desert landscape as the dusk begins (2:38) in the desert, at this part, 02:38 it's them, arming their belongings in the bundles, chests and suitcases (03:00), 03:13 is them continuing their trip and finally, it ends as if the sun went down (3:57) on the desert's horizon until dusk (04:05 - 04:15)
Hope you can also enjoy this perception of that
😊😊😊
omg i thought this tooooooo!!
i swear i literally thought of this!! i always used this little mini trip when i listened to this pieceee!
idk how u managed to get ur trip so similar to mine! :0
@@mintyants8903
Yeah, I love yo play this piece just to feel like at Sahara desert with this "caravan", listening to them playing lyra and qanun as we eat each other and keep traveling until desert night begins(as the sun disappears at 04:15)🥰
im learning it rn for grade 7. its so hard :(
3:41
Merci de votre économie de pédale qui rend honneur au plus grand des compositeurs...
You look like the man that appears in Amelie the movie, the one that ate the heart of the chicken
How to make the piano sound like a mix of "qanun", "rebab" and "lyra"?
Debussy:
Low key kind of a musical genius
Aldo Ringo are you the real messi
@@nayraa6820 well yes, this is lionel here
@Aldo Ringo 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
I like it, but to me nobody compares to Zoltan playing this piece.
You should listen to Samson Francois !!!
@chantal beckmann
Can you show the link here? I’m trying to find pianists playing this piece.😋✌🏻🌈❄️
damn this samwise gamgee boi has some sweet hair.
Todo buen pianista sabe que no es de culto llevar alhajas en sus manos y muñecas.
En este caso me quedo con su calidad musical y no con banalidades 💁🏻♂️
Don't you think the jewelry and watch are a bit ostentatious?
It is indeed momentarily 'distracting'...
An artist wears whatever his or her heart desires. Vanity drives artistic expression.
A tad bit tasteless imo.
Tempo?
a little slower, good.
No
There’s definitely a link to this video attached to his online dating profile
L'interprétation est très belle, très juste ; mais le clip ... J'ai d'abord cru à une interview , à tout moment je m'attendais à entendre " Alain Lefebvre bonjour... "
Et cette Rolex ... voir une submariner or jaune en entendant Debussy a quelque chose d'antinomique , voire surréaliste.
pokemon detective pikachu
Who else was here to see a Rolex and jewelry?
lily chou chou
You ever smoked weed that's felt like this?
nah but ive heard people play so beautifully its just as good as a good ol' weed stick
