I really like that this isn't soaked in reverb and post production. It's nice to hear the natural decay of our instrument!
It definitely has a good amount of post production. But it's done very tastefully and is transparent - as it should be in such works.
@Anthony Lopez Sorry, I assumed it meant audio post production since it spoke of terms like "reverb" and "natural decay". I simply meant to clarify that this recording definitely went through the regular steps of micing properly, eqing, compression, etc etc that comes with any decent audio production.
@Anthony Lopez Well, since the engineers for this recording were savvy enough to do a three mic setup with one condenser mic and two mics for an additional xy mic setup I'd say that it's quite easy to assume that incredibly basic things like eqing definitely did happen. Not sure why it's seen as a mar against the artist. A recording engineer not bothering to eq properly is akin to a musician not bothering to properly tune their instrument. It's an incredibly basic skill to have since without it you would have a lot of issues in the recording. The aim of any audio production is to allow the listener to get the best listening experience and judging by how great this recording is, I'd say that they succeeded.
I don't think there's a lot of eq and if there is any compression at all, it must be very small. What we hear comes mostly from the center mic.
It's also far more revealing of the players "chops".
I am very excited to tell you all that I am now in the process of recording my debut solo album for release later this year. To start with I will be releasing my live performance of Clair de Lune on all music platforms worldwide on May 7th. You can enjoy it here: lnk.to/RECDL
Best !
Awesome thank you!!
❤️❤️❤️
Já tinha ouvido falar dessa música, mas a primeira vez que a ouvi, foi com vc, e vc deu uma interpretação tão íntima pra ela( ñ desmerecendo Debussy) que parece composição sua. Lindo!
Its about time!!! :)
Please keep me posted on this! I would love to have your album - long overdue Roxanne!
So difficult so underrated. Her clair de lune cover was absolutely amazing.
Yes, both are works of art. Debussy would be very proud.

Cover?
@@joaquinodriozola4963 as long as the comment appreciated the beauty of the piece ♡
Yes we are spoiled to have this.
It's not just that the playing is magnificent. The transcription for guitar is a truly work of art.
Absolutely
Heavenly.
and those harmonics!@@michaelrwhelan2669
This is a masterpiece. Makes the piece seem like it was written for guitar.
🎸💓
Totalmente
Tienes razon, suena como una pieza hecha especialmente para guitarra
As a guitarist of many years, it is quite humbling to watch this. But also inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
yup..im going to throw my guitar in the dumpster now.
In these surreal times, there are few things more soothing to the soul than Roxane's guitar. What an unexpected delight... thank you for sharing.
I expect guitar delight from this artist.
Ammirevole è la caparbietà di questa artista nell’affrontare opere di Debussy sulla chitarra.
there is nothing like watching a master at work.
But can she play "little guitars" ?
@@adamwarlock5286 She can play anything she wants ... incl. the horn
If you count the video splicing every time the camera zooms in or out..
@@ShadovvV The sound of the hanging notes carry from one shot to the next seamlessly so try harder. Better yet close your eyes and open your ears.
@@stupor_mundi - Easy to seamlessly splice in a video editor. I've done it many times, especially if there's a a quarter rest every time, which there is in this video. Open your own ears. Educate yourself first though.
My ear is so conditioned to hearing this on piano, this rendition on guitar is a gift, and played so beautifully.
At first I was utterly speechless. The more I analyze, the more I'm in awe.
That... honestly that may be one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...
Like your Clair de lune, I was astonished all the way through, but I'm not sure I remembered to even breath for the last 3 minutes.
It's so hard to imagine a good arrangement of the Arabesque for guitar but this is so astoundingly beautiful and just as how I imagined it to sound like! And that tremolo at the end was a really pleasant surprise! I love it! I love you!
Eu consigo até amar a humanidade ouvindo isso.
Mario Parodi has a good transcript
So intense, so lovely. Would love to see 👀her smile.
It must be such a joy to be able to play like this, after having put so many hours of practicing into it - and so frustrating, to not be able to show your skills in front of an audience. All the best and thank you for posting!
There's so much skill in this performance, you could seriously write a dissertation on it
It's so worth waiting for your videos. Many thanks for filling our hearts and minds with sublime music in these hard times.
When my eyes weren’t closed they were fixed on your left hand. Truly masterful performance. Your use of harmonics in this piece was exquisite.
This is what Debussy meant when he said: “Music is the arithmetic of sounds as optics is the geometry of light.”
I did not know this aphorism, "Music is the silence between the notes" is another good one by Debussy.
Mathematicly speaking, wavefunctions form a vector space, and thus sound does in some ways behave like numbers.
ahhh.. the mathematics of music... it's the mathematics of the Universe.. and the 92 + elements of the periodic table
I am not alone.. far out man
funny thing I began in 1986 to study mathematics at university shortly after having composed (completely without knowing what I was doing :-D as I went to conservatory some years later) 2 homages to Debussy for guitar (1983 and 1985, this latter is also on my yt channel)... anyway she's a great artist, fantastic performer and I bet also a wonderful person
Breathtaking. That was absolutely sublime. Played with such technical mastery, sensitivity and musicality. Yes that tremolo at the end was just mesmerising. I'll be listening to this a lot.
In a better world Ms. Elfasci would be very famous! Amazing performance.
The tone of her playing is absolutely fantastic- So tender yet confident. What a beautiful piece played so beautifully! Thank you for sharing.
A masterpiece played by a master guitarist... thanks for sharing😍🙏👍
Sure, if you count the video splicing every time the camera zoom in or out.
@EpsilonGoods - That's what I'm saying. This wasn't a fluid performance.
@EpsilonGoods - Well, I grew up being deceived by mainstream musicians lip syncing and air guitaring, so honestly, it just really irks me when I see or hear musicians using contrived devices to receive praise from the public. I'm not doubting she has talent, I just want to see the entire thing, uninterrupted. Until then, I will automatically have a lower opinion.
I want to sit in the corner of this lounge and sip absinthe while you play, admiring the art on the walls.
Utterly majestic. This is balm for the soul. I am a piano fan, but I could listen to Roxane all day long. Delighted to see that in spite of only a handful of youtube vids she is deservedly heading for 50k subscribers, me included.
Spellbound and bewitched, all other activity ceased. There was only the performer and the listener in a captivating moment. Simply riveting.
After watching your Clair de Lune interpretation quite a lot of times, and having learned the arrangement myself, I always wondered if you would do Arabesque, as it is incredibly challenge to adapt for guitar. The beauty of those subtle notes is marvelous, bravo!
Lol, humble brag
@@josephjohnherbert Not sure where he bragged. I guess because he said he learned her arrangement? Good on him IMO. I think he's allowed to say that.
Clicked the video, give it a thumb up before the music started, then listen alone with headphone...replay a couple more times.
Thank you, you had just made my day.
As a fellow guitar player, i must say WOW.....beautifully played. Most perhaps don't realize this is a very difficult and intricate piece. My hat goes off to you. You not only played it beautifully but even more importantly i felt every single note. Thank you.
What a lovely transcription. The warm, glowing setting and intimate recording is all a beautiful escape. The tremelo and harmonics make me think of angel wings fluttering away after leaving this wonderful gift behind. A toast to Roxane! And to Claude Debussy too!
This is one of the beautiful gifts given to us by the musical genius of Claude Debussy! Roxane, your performance is equally beautiful and excellent! Bravo! Best regards, Will Ortiz
This is my favorite work from Debussy. I have listened to it many times in piano but this is the first time by guitar. Such a lovely piece of music.
Such a great piece of music, and such a wonderful guitar player blesses us with her amazing talent. The finest is really wonderful, isn't it?
Reminds me of long bright afternoons as grandpa plucked away his 12 string in the living room while i played on the porch. Can still feel the sun on my neck, feel the breeze, hear him playing like he’s just in the other room. That’s a real gift. God bless. Thank you for the music
Absolutely beautiful. Roxane's playing is perfect, it just seems to flow from her. I have never seen such facility and those stretches look impossible but they are played with ease. May the sun always shine on Roxane.
here i go... another guitar in the wood chipper!
incredible! bravo!!
Gulp. Tender, yet strong, structured yet free.
That WAS, IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE, emotional
Quel incommensurable BONHEUR de retrouver votre finesse de jeu à nouveau sur du Debussy!!! MERCI!!
Wow...another difficult piece, executed with extraordinary feeling and fluidity.
Another Debussy jewel in the middle of our Pandemic season. It is always wonderful to hear one of Roxane's offerings. They are too far between each other.
And inside a restaurant or cafe in the Art Nouveau style... a whole vibe
Absolutely magical! The paintings in the background make for such fantastic ambience for an incredible rendition. Debussy's music is timeless and this was fantastically done.
I love this piece. As a child I would lie under the piano while my father would play it. I love most of the music by Debussy for that matter. Lovely rendition Roxanne! Cheers!!!
This feels like stepping back in time. The light, the setting. Most of all the music. You make Debussy sit so naturally across the guitar. Amazing.
This is literally the only thing that got me excited to open the TH-cam app upon the notification
One of the most beautiful pieces of music and playing that i've ever experienced. The world is in shambles, but the human spirit isn't.
1. Great setting - the glassware just sparkles.
2. She really hangs herself out on a limb with this stuff...and lives to tell about it. One false move...and bam! - the whole piece is ruined. One just can't afford to mess this up in the slightest. She's got guts. Even given her incredible talent, this piece still takes a good amount of a steely constitution.
3. Don't burn your guitar and give up - be inspired by things like this. Be the best _you_ can be. Just practice - there's no excuse for failing to do that. If you do, I guarantee you - you'll discover you're better than you think you are.
I love watching classical guitarists play. I love watching every one of their fervent movements: from their fingers to their arms and elbows, to their head movements and their facial expressions. There's much to enjoy from that and without all of these things (and more that words cannot describe) is only a portion of the whole experience.
She's back.
> Everyone liked that.
My late Mother was a fantastic classical pianist. She particularly loved to play Debussy and the first arabesque was one of her favorites. Of all the various interpretations I've heard of this piece, including by greats like Rubinstein, I've always felt that her's was by far the best. It was absolutely magical! And wow Roxane, you play it almost exactly the same way she did! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful performance with us! Brings me right back to my childhood.
Thank You for taking us to Heaven and letting us stay a while. This is another wonderful blessing from the Muse and you, Roxane. The gently falling snow adds to the beauty of Debussey's Arabesque you play beautifully well. A most difficult composition at that.
If Debussy could hear this I'm sure he would be as moved as I am, this is a fantastic arrangement and masterfully played
WOW! FIRST time I ever seen this done on guitar! Beautiful!
Just great! The sound of the guitar, the ambience, the piece and of course the technical mastery. A musical jewel! Thank you.
Wonderful to be sitting in , sipping beverage and listening. Thanks well done!
There is nothing more attractive than a musician that plays it sweetly. Thank you.
Quelle agréable surprise ce vendredi soir... Merci pour cette magnifique interprétation
It's unbelievable what have done here. I didn't think this could be performed on the guitar. Colour me impressed ❤
Vous êtes unique et magnifique dans votre façon de jouer
Un immense bravo pour votre talent
Bravo 👏! Excellent. This is favorite Claude Debussy piece. Great!
I wish she would publish more of these. An antidote for the times..
Beautiful and talented woman beautiful setting and beautiful music. It can’t get any better than this.
You are a wonderful, emotional guitarist.
I hope you have a great career.
You don't just play, you make music!!!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
I always wanted to learn how to play guitar, but after watching this l can be very happy just member of the audience. This is real, nothing fake about this, wow wow what a talent bravo bravo bravo
Magnifique interprétation un doigté "ciselé" d'une rare précision une émotion et une sensibilité musicale d'un bout à l'autre du morceau Bravo !
Admirable is the stubbornnessof of this artist in dealing with Debussy’s works on the Guitar.
Congratulations and thanks on your hard work.
Wow, beautiful! One of my favorite composers. Sounds amazing. Thank you, Sebastian.
Truly underrated..... She deserves more attention to her beautiful art.....
one of my favorites, played beautifully ♥️
Technical brilliance which then lends to her exquisite interpretations and emotion. MAGNIFICENT. Brava! Doc
I cried until the end, when the last flourishes left my laughing for the impossibility I had just witnessed.
There are no more superlatives. What do you say for something that is beyond description. Just the therapy that we need at this crazy time.
Thankyou!
Brava! L'interpretation est magnifique et on a vraiment impression que la pièce a été composée pour la guitare.
It should be noted how incredibly unforgiving guitar is with less than superior technique. Appreciating the delicacy of your musical awesomeness and dedication to the craft.
this is greatest arrangement ever done for solo guitar. Astounding in it's completeness on the smallest of polyphonic instruments. Hard to believe how all the voices are there... even though I'm watching it right in front of my eyes. Roxane has gone beyond her incredible technique and conveyed the exquisite beauty of this piece. Ya can't ask for more than that.
Debussy would be proud...
incredible! one of the best classic player ever!!!!!!
Isso é tão lindo, que chega a tirar lágrimas 😍🇧🇷
This blew me away.
Merci beaucoup Roxane. Beau, beau et encore... beau.
It's beautiful to hear your guitar playing. Thank you
What a gorgeous performance. I've just started playing guitar myself, so I can really appreciate how amazing this is
A beautiful transcription for guitar, stunningly performed. Thank you for this gift.
🌞 My first EP will be released on August 20th !

Hoping you can tour soon!
Beautiful and magical music
So beautiful. What a sound you express from the guitar, thanks for this masterpiece.
Thank you for making me appreciate that I'm alive to hear this. It has completely made my day.
Fantastic arrangement and performance. Sounds great on the guitar. The room was pretty cool too. Very nice location for Debussy.
She speaks the composition; perfectly graceful, articulate, free
Oh Roxane! You stole my heart already, you don't need to drag me on like this. I am slain.
Bravissima!!! 👏👏👏
1:36 - In the back, some birds are singing with Claude and You... I Love that! ❤
More birds (and less Claude!) listening to "Rue Saint-Vincent" :)
que sucessão mais tênue e doce de harmônicos. ahhh, a leveza!
Eu concordo plenamente.
@@Auridian, né? 🎵🎶
I never considered that this piece would ever be played on guitar, let alone sound so wonderful.
I'm speechless, it's so beautifully done!
Everything about this video is beautiful - the performance, the setting, and of course the wonderful musician.
Such beautiful playing, thank you for uploading this 😃
The true magician delivers the magical melody written by the mystic...
Gosh, this is so lush and beautiful.
She plays it like the piece was originally composed for guitar. I love that. So smooth
wow - so beautifully played - Girl - you are great -- 😍
Pardon me MrP., but this person is clearly a woman. A girl perhaps some thirty years ago
@@jackdolphy8965 Chill. Certain cultures say "girl" as a term of endearment, and it isn't meant as a literal category.
@@jackdolphy8965 You clearly have a beautiful me too moment. Feels good?. As the second comment mentions, it is an expression of how captivating Debussy's piece of music is performed. I am filled with admiration for Roxanne's enormous talent and sat with tears in my eyes when I wrote the comment. Dear friend, being offended on behalf of others is a big mistake and you can easily make mistakes of the meaning. Happy New Year to you and to all music lovers in the world.
Debussy is my favorite, not many guitarist play his music well, you are one of the few that do! Larendo A. is the first guitarist I heard play his music, your playing has moved me just like mr Almada’s did, thank you for the beautiful music.
Laurindo Almeida, was quite a player!
Oh boy! So good.
