I can’t express how amazing this interpretation of the piece is. The amount of control he has, the emotions he’s pouring into every phrase, everything’s perfect. It wasn’t rushed, it wasn’t too slow, it wasn’t too loud, it wasn’t too soft... seriously, amazing.
This is a beautiful piece of music. But you played it like no other. Your sound is perfect, forte at times, and piano on other times. When I listen to you play, I feel like I'm being transported to another world where it's just me and the music. Again, you played this magnificently.
@@dynamiteli2572 No, the tempo is right. Check the tempo markings on the score. It is marked Andantino con moto. there is also stringendo as well as other tempo markings. Ricker's performance flowed. It was not rushed.
One cool thing about music is how each person can interpret and play a song in a different way. Some play faster, others slower, some more vibrant, others calmly...
+Ricker Choi Fairly standard interpretation, tempo, dynamics, etc. However: far from phoning it in, you give us an exquisite performance, delicacy, touch and sensitivity. You co-created (or remade) this alongside the composer. Glimmering and beautiful. Thanks!
Wonderful. It feels like water. I just listened to two versions that didn't get a couple parts quite right... I used to play this piece before I became extremely disabled. It transports me back. I'm glad to hear him play the part at around 1:56 that way.
best one on you tube I think, I like the feeling of calm that you project in this, many pianists race away with it playing too fast and with random tempo changes but your control is wonderful.
Your rendition of Debussy's Arabesque No. 1 is so close to my heart now. I don't know how many pieces of poetry I was able to write during this pandemic just by listening to this performance over and over again. Thank you, Mr. Choi, for sharing your talent and blessing our ears with such wonderful piano playing!
It seems to me that this piece is often played at a much too rushed tempo. I get the feeling that it should be more relaxed and airy in it's performance. The bars where the tempo speeds up always sound like they're being rushed along. Have you ever gotten this impression? Still, outstanding work. My favorite Debussey piece ever. I can only hope to one day reach this skill level.
dUsTjUnKy2000 got that feeling too... this is the best cover I ever heard th-cam.com/video/5KiO5kdjvpM/w-d-xo.html don’t know why I can’t find it but just in this video
This peace feels like water. Like leaves falling on a pond during an autumn day before the transition to winter. Reminiscing about life, the wistful past. But hope and vibrancy and life what when thing turn around the corner. I absolutely loved this piece and it made me cry
Respectfully DISAGREE! YES........His TECHNIC is spot-on. But his lack of 'FEELING' and 'SENSE' that playing this piece WAY SLOWER would have catapulted him very close to Chopin, Debussy and Mendelssohn, to me indicates that for him it's ALL about technic and following the script, without ANY inner sense of PERSONAL association! And so my final conclusion: TECHNIC 9; EXECUTION 9; FEELING 4!!
This piece made Claude infamous. Such ethereal beauty. Like being on a calm beach at sunset. Not a cloud in the sky... ❤ From a Christian rhythm guitar player, thank you Mr. Choi...
I really liked this interpretation. I liked how he took the time to be expressive. I heard every note of each harmony. It was just the right level of clarity.
Ricker Choi agree with Andy. This is a lovely version . My son is playing this piece and yours is a lovely interpretation .I plan to share it with him for educational purposes.
They couldn't even hold the video out for his applause? What a wonderful piece performed by such an amazing performer. He was denied. Thank you for sharing this! My heart felt every note!
What a great reading of this piece. I can't believe the people who comment on facial expressions. This isn't X Factor or American Idol where you get grinning "singers" who look like they have a coat hanger caught in their mouths. The man is playing deep music on a piano. He's reaching inside. He's a musician...a rarity these days.
I'm in tears dude. The dynamics were so expressive and emotional, the tempo was to my liking, everything about this piece feels like I'm being sent to another world.
This is the best performance of Debussy's Arabesque I've ever heard. Appropriate use of damper and soft pedal, especially the perfect tempo and feeling... I feel like my arabesque is finally complete... Thank you for the performance video!!!
Sir Ricker Choi I must compliment you, Thank You so much for playing each note so gracefully and beautiful melodies to ones ears is was 'sheer pleasure'. All the very best for the future. Love & Light N.
I listened to your version 10 years ago when I was first preparing this piece for university - I dropped my piano bachelor's to move abroad but kept playing it. I'm currently learning it again, and I've realised that I played it on your tempo this whole time. It never left my ears! I love your performance and your feelings for this Arabesque. 💙🫂
This is the best I have ever heard someone play as a pianist. Just the way you move with the music and have so much expression makes the whole piece perfect. The way you play it is like no other. I am very very late but amazing work. I have been waiting to find someone who plays it just like I imagined, and it is your work. Keep up the great work and thank you for letting me hear this amazing work of yours.
Hearing Mr. Choi playing this gem makes me feel that you did it specially for me. Your phrasing touches my soul so gentle, that I believe Debussy’s spirit is inside you. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Learning this wonderful piece right now. It takes a really long time for me, but i keep practicing and getting forward with it. Your playing is the best lesson for me. I am always like: "Oh, now i get it, this is how it is meant to be played, now this part makes sense!" Thank you, for your wonderful playing!
im not only inspired by your interpretation for this piece, but by how much love you obviously have for it. thank you for this gorgeous rendition!! this is the first piano piece i am learning and i can say that this is the best performance i’ve heard.
I'm in the process of learning and perfecting this piece right now and the way you played it makes such a good reference!! Thank you for posting your wonderful interpretation! (Sorry for being 7 years late)
@@technofeeling2462 W, I play guitar and piano and it takes awhile, but when you really get good and feel the music it’s like a whole nother level man.
Thank you, Ricker Choi! I listened to this video for I am playing this song for a Syllabus test. Achille-Claude Debussy said, "Music is the silence between the notes." You played the silence well with your slower interpretation of the 1st Arabesque. I like how the camera shows the pedals too.
There are many other videos of this song but they don't have the feeling you put, like a robot was playing. I'm glad finally someone is appreciating this wonderful song
this interpretation is wonderful! i love this piece more than anything and the way you play it makes it so beautiful... i'm honestly in awe, this is a stunning piece of music
I cried. I'm tired and this master piece... it really touched me. I felt like it was the first time I was hearing l'Arabesque, even though I've been listening to it since years... Merci beaucoup, je me rends comte que j'en avais vraiment besoin
hi Stan thank you! I work full time in financial services but piano is my passion. If you want to learn more about me, please check www.rickerchoi.com I live in Toronto and give charity fund raising concert periodically
RayMysteryo it's just me being picky :) It's just that when you call something a song, it implies that there are words which are meant to be sung when the music is playing. You should call this a piece of music as there are no words.
Marshall Prods oh ok thats what i thought but then i started making up stuff that i could have possibly been like.. did i spell song right, i was looking at it long enough to the point where i was like..oh i spelled it wrong and then i was like..we both spelled song wrong, then i was like..naw song just looks weird if you think about it too much.. and then i was like.. oh hes probably correcting the word song to the french word for song but then i was like..nahh cant be cause we both got the same word.. and then i was like.. maybe the ' ' around the word is the proper way of saying song or maybe i gotta say it with an accent.. then i was thinking about china then i started to think i was getting trolled and then i saw your profile picture and it was two eggs and im like..ya this guy is definitely a troll for sure.. but then i was like his name is too legit to be a troll and he put capital letters where they are supposed to be.. so i was like..ya song is probably not the proper term to be used to describe something like this but i was like..to be sure...let me ask..
RayMysteryo The word 'song' comes from the verb 'to sing'. Im no troll, but debussy's arabesque 1 is definitely not a song, as nobody sings ! Anyway, it's not important...
I have an electric piano in my house and this song was one of the demos. I always loved hearing it. You played it so wonderfully. Thank you for the great performance.
This is what Debussy inteded and dreamed for this piece in it's perfect creation. Any one who wishes to learn and perform this should learn it like this first. Then play it any way you wish, your performance will only be a reflection pf your own interpretation.
Beautifully done! You managed to show great expression not only through the music but also through yourself. It's clear that you enjoy playing it. I hope to one day be able to play something quite as wonderful as this. But until then, practice, practice, practice... :)
I have heard 100+ performances of this piece, and yours (I only just now discovered) is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Keep being you; you are a gift to the world.
Sempre estou assistindo Lang Lang ou Valentina Lisitsa por causa da técnica e precisão de ambos, foi então que por acaso (ou não) encontrei Ricker Choi e me surpreendi com tamanho talento e perfeição na execução do tempo de cada nota, é como se cada compositor tivesse deixado um manual para ele com todas as dicas.
I am without words! So extremely well played. I appreciate how the phrases are shaped and the timing of the chords, it really suits the tranquility of the piece. Amazing!
I know everyone is already saying it, but it’s honestly so refreshing to hear someone not just blast through this piece
Absolutely this is glorious to the ears .
I finally found the perfect tempo
Thank you!!!!
Saame
Agreed! So often, its played so fast you can't hear all the subtle beauties.
I agree
I totally agree, quite a few pianist play this piece too fast, lost the charm of tranquillity and beauty.
I can’t express how beautiful this piece is. His interpretation of this piece is amazing. I have rarely heard such a moving work. ❤

If You close your eyes, you can almost envision the French country side in the late 19th century. Beautiful music from Claude Debussy.
I envision myself in a park in Germany with kids all around and just a happy environment. Not sure why.
pal joey I don't think you are supposed to tell people what they are supposed to envision...
