I was lucky enough to be born into a house with music. My dad loves to play piano, and he wasn't the most talkative person, but when he started to play piano, you could feel him speaking to you. When I was 2 years old, he would sit me on his lap and play this song. When I was 14 years old, he was diagnosed with cancer, and they told him he wouldn't live to the end of the year (it was August) He lived for two more years, defying everything the doctors had told him. He died surrounded by his family, and his last words to me were, "never stop playing, can you please, play for me? And not forget me? Can you do that for me?" At his funeral, I was asked if I would play a song, and I chose to play this song, the song he played while I would sit on his lap. The song that could bring back a thousand memories. And now, 8 years later, I sat down at the piano with my beautiful 2 year old girl, who we decided to name Claire, and played this song for her.
Hearing Claire de Lune reminds me of my step mom. She wasn't "religious" so there weren't hymns played at her funeral but she loved piano music and this was played.
I have only recently come to know this piece by Debussy, and have listened to it many times played by many pianists. But even if I listen to it everyday for the rest of my life, I do not believe I shall ever hear it more beautifully played by anyone else. It is crystal clear, delicate, and pure.
Doubtful; most of his compositions are trash. This one is timeless and considered a masterpiece (which I can appreciate), but it is grossly over rated. This piece is for academia, not the common listener of music
Well, well this is an excellent interpretation as he respects the rhythm it makes so much sense. The rubato is judged beautifully the touch is exquisite. The balance between voices is delightful. Just brilliant!
If someone put a gun to my head and told me to say my favorite piece for the piano Claire de Lune would likely be what I’d say. Kissin’s playing here is one of the best.
One time, I watched a full moon throught the bay window as I listenend to Clair de Lune. The shimmering brightness of the far away moon and the luminous yet contemplative interpretation of Mr. Kissin brought a lump in my throat. What a magical moment that was!
Благодарю за возможность просмотра этого контента! Исполнитель ,в буквальном смысле, проживает музыку, пропуская через своё сердце!! Великолепное звучание! Восхитительное рубато!!Браво, Евгений!.
Quelle beauté d’exécution. C’est un des rares pianistes, sinon le seul, qui m’émeut autant. Il est seul au monde mais sait faire partager la tendresse de ce magnifique morceau interprété magistralement.
Writing music like this` simple, light and genius... Is something unbelievable..But performing this music and adding more air and more art in it- Is not about just reading the notes... That's a huge connection between performer and composer. Connection that makes this kind of performance..
Claire de Lune is often played by intermediate students who tend to butcher it. When in the hands of a master like Kissin it’s true beauty shines brilliantly.
I play this piece too, but Kissin has the genius to put all the beautiful nuances in the right places with his brilliant expertise. He even makes the simple ascending melodic notes at the end of the piece sound truly divine ✨ 😍 👏👏
the color of his chord and arpeggio is so beautiful. especially I would feel his key board articulation and aogyk is veryvery graceful. Occasionally I love to listen to Victor Borge with orchestra. He is also so graceful. They say that "Beethoven said Tempo is Music" (90yrs.Japanese)
Llegué a sacar lágrimas con esta interpretación. Es la mejor que he escuchado hasta ahora, los tiempos, la expresión, el sonido del piano. Bravo 👏👏por. Evgeny Kissin.
Nunca esquecerei a primeira vez em que ouvi essa música, em 1996. Um pianista veio a Florianópolis, aqui no Brasil, e tocou Debussy com essa mesma leveza desse vídeo. Não é demais confessar que essa peça muito me emociona quando e executada com essa destreza! Maravilhosa! Parabéns!
The mature Evgeny Kissin - more and more like Daniel Barenboim, whose greatness knows no bounds. I have never seen Kissin emote so much, but this is none the less one of the most straight forward renditions of Debussy's Claire de Lune. None the less, it reveals music's subtle beauties.
Amo como toca, es realmente alguien que inspira a ser mejor como pianista, a sentir la música, muchas veces tocamos las cosas sin sentir el trasfondo, el nos muestra lo importante que es en el piano❤
wow‼️thank-you thank-you thank-you for uploading it. What a beautiful harmonic tone that echoes endlessly and spreads forever！ The drops of moonlight spilled over the lake and bounced and scattered quietly. Above all, listening to the tone woven by Kissin is the best✨🌕️✨1:20-2:08 is my fav part.
Very good rendition. I imagine this is very close to how Debussy intended it. Many pianists play the arpeggiated parts very fast and loud, and while I don’t mind the speed for the most part, it causes them to slam down on the keys and it takes away from the subtle emotions
Porfin una autentica interpretaciom de ls verdaders version de Lizt de su famosa danzs hungsra Excelente y brillante interpretacion. Gracias y una excente pianista

This made me cry, all of it, including your little girl’s name. Thank you for sharing your dad’s beautiful legacy of music and love 💕
Conmovedora historia.
Waouh !
Waouh !
Why did you steal this story from another person to get likes? You are really pathetic
This was my dad’s favorite piece of music. He’s been gone since 2013, but when I hear this I think of him and tear up a bit. Beautifully done.
My mom's fav too.
One of my fav pieces. I play this piece often, my son gets sick of it. I believe when I’m gone, he will miss me when hearing this song too.
Thank you so much for this comment
The humility and modesty of this perfect rendition is stunning. What a man has matured from the youth.
You have expressed what I couldn’t put into words.......exquisite
So true. Listen to the space between notes. It make such a diference in his palying.
Definitely! That exactly is what I wanted to write about him!
So true! This is heavenly.
l'humilité et la modestie de cette interprétation parfaite... l'homme a muri dès sa jeunesse , quel beau commentaire
I have listened to like a 100 performances of this piece, and the search is OVER. Every second is pure magic.
This.
There's only one Evgeny Kissin. ❤
Kissin is unique.
100%
A master piece, of course ❤
Hearing Claire de Lune reminds me of my step mom. She wasn't "religious" so there weren't hymns played at her funeral but she loved piano music and this was played.
Bestes Stück für Ihren Abschied. Das möchte ich auch so haben.❤
One of the greatest piano performer in modern time
It’s so beautiful and breathtaking
Amazing rendition, Kissin magical performance.
This one and liebestraum no. 3 always touch my soul.
Kissin é gênio puro. O nível mais alto que se pode alcançar.
SIM! Eu tenho um admiração enorme por ele
It's my favourite piece, too...soulful
I saw his live performance in Netherlands... so good
Я тоже видела и слушала его игру, давно, очень давно. Это было в Нижнем Новгороде, а исполнителю было 10 лет, или чуть больше. Божественно
I have only recently come to know this piece by Debussy, and have listened to it many times played by many pianists. But even if I listen to it everyday for the rest of my life, I do not believe I shall ever hear it more beautifully played by anyone else. It is crystal clear, delicate, and pure.
Tiffany Poon, her version is magic as well
Try also Daniel Barenboim in 2021, it’s on TH-cam, I couldn’t say who is the best , they are in the same league !
it sounds so much better slowed down
@@Fanfanbalibar explaining the left hand's work on this piece ;)
and
they are not competing why should we ! :)
This makes my heart ache. Music touches all languages, and all people, rich and poor. Absolutely beautiful.
Superb! This is pure magic. He makes piano sound as Orpheus' lyre... His playing is simply extraordinary! Bravissimo Maestro Kissin!
So true!!
The day DeBussy finished this masterpiece,....do you suppose he could have even fathomed just how perfect this piece really is??
Doubtful; most of his compositions are trash. This one is timeless and considered a masterpiece (which I can appreciate), but it is grossly over rated. This piece is for academia, not the common listener of music
@@mserth22 good joke
Some people get it some people don't.
This comment is pure trash!@@mserth22
@@mserth22 clearly not everyone has taste or common sense, thanks for reminding the rest of us
This song brings back my son’s few memories of him playing this. No more left from then…
OMG the pace is great, the pauses are so natural. This is true mucisionship
美し過ぎて泣きそう‼️やっぱりキーシンは、私にとって唯一無二のピアニストです。16才で来日したとき、手足のながい可愛い少年が弾く素晴らしい演奏に感動して以来30年以上聴き続けています。巨匠になったいまもえらぶるところは全くなく、大拍手に照れ笑いする姿は可愛いおじさん。大好きです😆🎵🎵
i love kissin so much you're so lucky to have seen him when he was young!!
キーシンの月の光好きすぎて毎日聴いてる
Well, well this is an excellent interpretation as he respects the rhythm it makes so much sense. The rubato is judged beautifully the touch is exquisite. The balance between voices is delightful. Just brilliant!
If someone put a gun to my head and told me to say my favorite piece for the piano Claire de Lune would likely be what I’d say. Kissin’s playing here is one of the best.
I never thought I would hear an interpretation that would move me as much as Sviatoslav Richter's - but this does.
I took a look at Richter and I think this one personally its better. The flow of the music is so nicely paced
If only Richter's did not include the unstopabble moskovskiy couphing...
One time, I watched a full moon throught the bay window as I listenend to Clair de Lune. The shimmering brightness of the far away moon and the luminous yet contemplative interpretation of Mr. Kissin brought a lump in my throat. What a magical moment that was!
absolutely chilling and stunning rendition. I could have cried, but was fully absorbed in processing the tactful arpeggiation
such a wonderful sound, kissin's expression is just gorgeous
I love the feeling of laying back and watching the moon rise over the ocean. I love the lazy atmosphere Kissin's interpretation
Благодарю за возможность просмотра этого контента! Исполнитель ,в буквальном смысле, проживает музыку, пропуская через своё сердце!! Великолепное звучание! Восхитительное рубато!!Браво, Евгений!.
Обожаю звучание фортепианной палитры 5:54 у Е.Кисина. Невероятный мастер! Можно бесконечно слушать и наслаждаться!
Evgeny plays any piece as it’s his own. That is talent. As a side I love the impressionist scale
Прекрасный Кисин в прекрасной музыке! И спасибо за антивоенную позицию🙏Мне приятно быть с вами на одной стороне
It is so beautiful. He is so simple, modest. It is a deep pleasure listening to this wonderful person.
Спасибо за прекрасно исполненное произведение! Потрясающе! Великий мастер!
Truly besutiful rendition of something ethereal and not of this world
Such delicate and exquisite playing, thank you maestro for all the years of joy and delight and great emotion ❤️
Как- будто про него Б. Пастернак сказал: "Во всём мне хочется дойти до сути .."! Восхищение и благодарность..
My beloved version!!!
Wow, just by looking at the expression on his face whilst playing this piece gives you an idea of the emotional depth hidden in this composition
The piano sounds so good
I agree. It sounds soooo good.
@@hyekyoungkim9487Those high crystal notes, true!

Brilliant performance! High class full of feelings makes it a masterpiece.💐💐💐
Absolutely stunning… those melodic lines just shimmering ❤
Colosal, sublime, magnifico!!
Bravo Maestro!
Beautiful! I wish the audience had allowed a few more moments of silence :)
Beautiful, and wretched with sadnees and regret. A pure song of life.🎉
Another brilliant Kissin performance. Is he not top 5 of all time?
Thanks for uploading this video. Wonderful piece of music and beautifully executed. What a nice treat for the ears !.
Que c'est beau... un véritable voyage au pays des songes. Merci du fond du coeur ❤.
Прекрасно!!!!!!!!!👏👏❤️Благодарю!!Загадочно!Волшебно!!! БРАВО!

I think this is the best version on YT I could find.
Favorite piano piece played by favorite pianist
Nice!!!
The ability to interpret pauses and keep the rendition both seamless and musical is so difficult. This is how it is done. Sheer perfection.
That piece is one of my favourites. The whole suite is fantastic, of course, but that one has a special shine.
As a pianist, this is dedication and talent. This girl had to of been a child prodigy. Nice work !
Girl?
Claire de Lune is often played by intermediate students who tend to butcher it. When in the hands of a master like Kissin it’s true beauty shines brilliantly.
I have seen many intermediate students who did not butcher the piece, everyone learns, nobody is perfect
But he sure does play the song brilliantly
Hey we’re trying our best!
Yeah this is really a difficult piece, but many people don’t realize that and dive headfirst into it
I play this piece too, but Kissin has the genius to put all the beautiful nuances in the right places with his brilliant expertise. He even makes the simple ascending melodic notes at the end of the piece sound truly divine ✨ 😍 👏👏
This is toxic tbh
With subtlety and grace, he presents an experience of "moon" that is in the score for all to see, but few depict in their playing.
the color of his chord and arpeggio is so beautiful. especially I would feel his key board articulation and aogyk is veryvery graceful.
Occasionally I love to listen to Victor Borge with orchestra. He is also so graceful. They say that "Beethoven said Tempo is Music"
(90yrs.Japanese)

J'ai eu la chance de le voir en concert à Bordeaux, un artiste brillant !
To my way of thinking this is the loveliest performance of Debussy EVER. (I know I’m wrong.) Exquisite. Evgeny gets to the heart of the matter.
Qué maravillosa interpretación!!
Extraordinarily sumptuous how his fingers make love to the keyboard, teasing out each and every nuance--the consummate lover.
this is pure ecstacy.
GRACIASSSS no sabes hace cuanto estuve esperando esto, una obra de alto calibre ejecutada a la perfección por el mejor pianista de la historia
Thank you for playing this for me god bless you. So calming.
Exquisitely played
Thank eguney for the good night’s sleep your music is true and calming❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's as if he's channeling divine inspiration.
What an amazing piece of music--pure perfection. This is what music is supposed to sound like, the product of genius.

Debussy , "Claro de luna "lo he escuchado Miles de veces , me encantó Evgeny Kissin , sus notas son más suaves y cada nota la expresa de su alma.👏👏👏
The upper line sings out so beautiful ❤
Beautiful!!!!! Played so well... loved listening to this piece played by Sir. Thanks for sharing
C'est merveilleusement interprété en toute humilité ...Je comprends mieux maintenant qu'il fit pleurer Karajan à l'époque. Un génie !!!
my all time favorite played by a grandmaster in is prime time a Royal treat...
Amo como toca, es realmente alguien que inspira a ser mejor como pianista, a sentir la música, muchas veces tocamos las cosas sin sentir el trasfondo, el nos muestra lo importante que es en el piano❤
Admirable interpretación de esta pieza musical la que más me gustó, minuto 1,23 estallo en llanto, gracias por compartir el vídeo.
Delicadeza de música. Excepcional a execução.

Love and passion flow softly from the piano 🎹. 🎉🎉🎉beautiful 💝
thank you thank you thank you you are my angel
Realmente amo la versión y al pianista. Pronto lo veré en vivo.
Um genio. Interpretação que lembra o também genial Claudio Arrau. Perfect!

Adoro essa música🤩🤩. Quando escuto me sinto no país das maravilhas, de sonhos, encantos🤩🤩
Momento magico . ...come la luce lunare che inonda, piano piano, tutte le cose...
