- Please press the subtitles botton (c/c) near the lower right of the window if you want to see the credits (Painting's title and painter's name) for all the paintings in this video. There is only one painting (at minute 3:41) for which I haven't been able to find who the author is, so please let me know if you know.
This is a vinyl recording of Debussy's Clair de Lune performed by the London Symphony Orchestra; arranged and conducted by Stanley Black. It is an arrangement because Mr. Black adds a few countermelodies not found in the original piano score and takes a few liberties with the expression, but overall the final result is awesome and effective. Although there are many orchestrations of this piece (among them a well-known one by Stokowski) I particularly love this arrangement because the orchestra sounds large, but the interpretation is always slow and delicate (or let's say, never too loud, always within the boundaries and the mood that the title of the piece suggests). Also listen to the emphasis on the basses, and the subtle building of emotion achieved with appropriate phrasing! Other highlights are the way the main theme comes back (at 3:45); the violins playing so incredibly soft... and then the reaching of a climax at the end of the phrase with a particularly passionate and daring emphasis on the basses (4:21). - เพลง

I'm an old man of 78 and just heard this masterpiece of music again today which brought me to tears. Unfortunately we will never be privileged to hear it again in such a volatile world, music like this comes from the heart which is now only history.
Honesty, I've tried to listen to other arrangements and I just keep coming back here... Thank you for posting this gem.
Yes I agree! I’ve been trying to download it from one or another plateforme but I’m not to good with that, any chance you would know where I can purchase it? Thank you!
@@caroledube8365 I think it is only available on vinyl. Never seen a CD with this track.
This, my friends, is perfection.
This splendor of words can not arrive
My love for Debussy’s this masterpiece is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea
A corner of Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun🇯🇵
No beauty is as inspirational and admirable and captivating as the beauty of this performance
London/ Decca Phase Four stereo. Marvellous recordings!
Yes!🙂
The most beautiful piece ever written! Even the name is beautiful!
If you've ever lost your soul, here's where you'll find it again.
This beautiful music will quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul
the best version I have finded
My late mother had this on a 12-inch 78RPM record. I still get a little nostalgic for her whenever I hear the piece.
Norman Hinrichs oH！ Very sad and sorrow ！Give my regards.! From Japan
I hate it when people say they don't like classical music. It's the most beautiful, peaceful thing known to man.
I don't get how one can possibly NOT fall in love with a song like this.
Taste is a thing you shouldn’t take from someone, but you’re right lol.
Sometimes due to the lack of exposure, the person just have not had the chance to appreciate something different from what they know.
They are not People bro or sis, they are things whitout soul...
Song?
its also known to woman. debussy was a genius!. i think he would roll over in his grave, if he ever heard all the garbage they have out now!!!
Love when what I think is an Oboe comes in.
Siv Jensen un deleite para vista y oído!
Thank you Katey. I'm a painter myself so every now and then I like searching on the net for great painters, known and not so known. I have found many I didn't even know existed, and some of them (like some of the ones showing in this video) are amazing indeed.
This was our symphony. Her smile was so enchanting and heartfelt just like this composition, she'd give a beautiful pause and then she'd crash into her wide smile that always took my breath away. Time just stops around me when I listen to this arrangement and think of her smile
This is the best arrangement I've ever heard. Thank you for uploading this. I hope you and your family stay safe in this difficult time
@lucy10by: Arguably the best impressionist piece (even if Debussy didn't like that apellation) of all time. Even the simplest piano version evokes in me a whole range of emotions...from melancholy through insouciance and whimsy...to philosophical reflection or nostalgic yearning and ultimately - hopefulness and aspiration. Likewise, this instrumental rendition leaves me smiling in a puddle of tears, and somehow - uplifted.
Thank caress the soul. Beautiful work.
Creo que es maravilloso no tener todos el mismo gusto por la música.
En la variedad está la belleza del Arte.
Melancolía,rabia,dolor,locura,etc.
Es la expresión del yo interno,refleja nuestro estado de ánimo.
The graphics which are delightful enhance the gorgeous melody.
This wonderful performance embodying the musical aesthetics of Debussy
Thank you!
Joyeux anniversaire Monsieur Debussy
beautifully done... not rushed like so many others...
THX for putting this up...
--Mike
Magnifique version... J'ai écouté beaucoup de versions différentes de Clair de Lune mais celle là est particulièrement saisissante ! Pleine d'émotions
Thank you 🇨🇦
You are welcome PA
Awesome orchestal :D
Reminds me of grandpa, he loved it so muc I´ve always appreciated this music, but even more now, 45 years in the making
This is, by far, my favorite version of this song. Sounds so grand!
Una obra inmortal y bellísima en cualquiera de sus versiones para deleite de los mortales.
Genial Debussy
its so beautiful that hurts me...
I think this has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard, it takes me to another place and is so calming.....Love it
Nothing short of incredible artistic expression on every level!!
Nothing short of musical magic! The art only adds to a magnificent posting. The London SO's arrangements are always among the very best. THANKS!!!
This splendor is undisputed
After listening to this masterpiece ,
I might have a dream
It's a dream of Debussy walking in the crowds of Paris in the effulgent night
Wonderful visual accompaniment to a gorgeous piece of music!
Simplement....magnifique !
Wonderful music. And the art you've chosen works fantastic with this song!
Magnificent arrangement!!!
My soul leaves the body and
will stay in the air
and will fall asleep.
Magnificent recording and superb art....thank you!
thank you very much!
I love all kinds of music but this is my favorite song such a beautiful piece of music so amazing music can just be so beautiful I almost have tears of happiness, joy and love
THIS IS A FINE WORK FROM MR. DEBUSSY.A STUNNING PIECE OF WORK.
what a magnificent arrangement!
That's what I keep saying man! Glad you appreciatte that... thanks for you comment.
Utterly beautiful! My favorite piece ever, nothing can compare to the beauty of this piece. I see my mom young again, the grass waving with the wind. It touches my very soul.
Wonderful music!
And great work, nice video!
MAGNIFICENT piece of ART...
This is the most beautiful love song ive ever heard -the arraignment is incredible n touched me deeply the first time i listened to it - and certainly not the last- thank you De lune for this music
Nice comment! However, the composer's name is not "De Lune" it is Debussy, Claude Debussy... ha ha ha. Or perhaps you meant to call me Mr. De Lune? Mr. Lunatic? "de Lune" is the French phrase for "from de moon" or "of the moon". "Clair de Lune" could be translated to English as "moon glade" or "moon gap" or "moon clearing". Some might simply translate is as "moonlight". Just saying!
propably one of the very best recordings.
I can see the moonlight....
superb recording of a perfect arrangement! THANKS!!
@Composerwizard Indeed. It's my favorite version too, I wonder why it isn't very well known. I'm not talking about personal taste, this particular version is outstanding at all lights; you have already pointed many characteristics in your description. Anyway, I'm glad you found and uploaded this, now I can enjoy it too.
Truly AMAZING
Stunning
Magnifique
My heart wavered with emotion .
Thanks... the painting at 4:51 is by victorian-era artist John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893). He is known for his remarkable night scenes. However, if you search for this painting you'll notice the original is much darker (but not less impressive). I wanted my video to to have a lot of color so I added color to this particular image. I guess my editing makes it look more fantastical and more "contemporary"...
This has got to be the best!!! 💕💕💕
@B17Boy Thank you for the link! Yes, it is a very beautiful arrangement and performance. I loved the sound of the strings (specially the first time they appear), and the interpretation was never too loud, and also very sensitive. I had heard that version before (it is an orchestration by Stokowsky) but not by that conductor in the video. I must admit it is at least as good as this version I have here, and not too different (if I compare it to others that I've heard), except for the beggining.
superb
THANK YOU for posting this ! The orchestral version of this classic will Always be My fave. When the woodwinds kick in it can bring Me to tears of joy in the middle.
Your love of music is equal to your selection of art. Well done and thank you for posting the artist names.
I totally love the horn at 4:22 and 4:33! This C-Flat in that Db chord makes the ending so perfect!
Damn, those paintings are also beautiful
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. Matching a sublime musical recording with great visuals... bravo!
This os the sky
Thank you! The painting at 5:10 is one of the many moonlight scenes by 19th century english painter John Atkinson Grimshaw (1848-1918). All his moonlight paintings are remarkable. They are gloomy and splendid at the same time. Just do a google image search typing his name and you'll find plenty of them.
My favorite is the painting @ 3:44. It’s similar to the scene I beheld at our summer camp in NH one evening around midnight. I couldn’t sleep and had put on this music as I sat on the dock and watched as the moon came from behind the tall pines and broke through the few clouds. As the moonlight danced across the gentle waves toward me, the music matched exactly what I was seeing. I understood them that Debussy had seen the same scene and had managed to capture it in music. Magical.
Achingly beautiful video...Exquisite and sublime!
Thank for posting this masterful work! Bravo!
Heaven...
tisha and james love song!!!!!!!!
@417midget Hi, the painting at 1:15 is titled "Moonlight on the Sound" by the great American impressionist painter Frederick Childe Hassam (1859-1935). The same painter has another beautiful moonlight painting called "Moonlight Scene", and another one called The Athenaeum - Isle of Shoals. They are all hard to find in high resolution.
Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So beautiful, I fill up every time I hear this piece. The paintings are exquisite..
ooh gosh! how beautiful!!!!!

That was a fantastic video and a really nice arrangement of the piece.
Thanks for posting.
Really great video.
beautiful.
How can 1 person dislike. what did they expect, An amazing piece of music
The skill of Stanley Black is recognizable here in this rendition by the great London Symphony Orchestra of Debussy's sublime melody.
Totally agree.
Essa música maravilhosa me dá uma sensação de paz.Ouço várias vezes.Amo.
Meravigliosa interpretazione. Grazie ❤
doesn't get much better than that
Words fail, thank you.
You are welcome :)
Regarder des étoiles filantes en écoutant ceci est... epic
1 person clearly doesn't have good taste in Impressionist music. I love this song and I have Radio 1 to thank - just beautiful
Your soul is a chosen landscape... ❤️
@mctimilsworth Thank you for this nice comment. Yes, I agree that a lot of what you hear in commercial music today is superficial (not to say worse things). I'm glad you like this. That means there still hope, and young people who also have a desire for the beautiful and the sublime.
A genius composer like him will seldom appear in this world.
I ｓ to be wandering in the Debussy’s musical aesthetics to spread infinity
Janelle Monae "say you'll go" song brought me here :)

Hey, but I was wondering if you knew the name of the painting at 4:51? Thanks, and great video by the way, the artwork compliments the music so naturally and beautifully.
