Not only the tempo but unparalleled use of rubato, dynamic and allargando techniques produce a magical listening experience. Nikolai Lugansky's perfect technique and musical sensitivity enable heartfelt expression of great emotional impact. Decidedly, he has it all !
To be so expressive with these relatively simple piano pieces shows the great artistry of Nikolai Lugansky. Ah, Claude Debussy, you are greater than you seem!
It's unbelievable isn't it? I can somewhat understand the coughing between the two movements (not ideal, but it is what it is). But there were literally people coughing ONE MINUTE into the performance! It's pathetic how an adult human can't hold in a cough for a few minutes to let the beauty of the piece flourish, but instead have to prioritise their own comfort levels
I have listened to this version so many times that when I listen to anyone else's version, I can't stand it. They either play it too fast and rigid, or too slow and drawn out. Nikolai's is a beautiful blend of pace and intensity in some moments, then fluidly slowing down and meandering in others. Just how I imagine Claude himself to have played it. It's absolutely delightful, and one of my all time favourite tracks.
Here is the great secret to performing Debuaay:: follow Debussy's explicit directions. No more dramatic infusion, just perform as you are told in Debussy's rather neurotic instructions. And that is exactly what Lugansky does here. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. When Lugansky does this, it speaks to my heart. Thank you for such a wonderful performance.
Debussy, for all his personal faults, aimed for transcendence in his music. Lugansky delivers that in spades, with both tenderness and joy. Thank you for sharing. So, so beautiful.
To hear Claude Debussy performed.by Lugansky.is like to travel in time to another World full of Fantasy, Creatures of another dimensions, forest with lakes with multiple moons and infinity of stars.... Simple Magic. I really love Debussy. He's s Unique. And the performance of Lugansky , make me without words. Marvelous. Thanks you. 🌟🌞💫🌜🍀😺🌝🙊🤟🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤🌹💐🌳🍃🏔️🍄🌼

Bunin’s version is very nice as well

Ah, Claude Debussy, you are greater than you seem!
This piece is definetely not easy
His beautiful performance is a great gift to Debussy lovers
When I am listening to his wonderful performance,
I feel a hundred years of loneliness
listening and learning this piece this 2014, provides me with mental peace and freedom
I feel like being transported to other realm while listening to this beauty.
OMG! Who is that BARBARIAN coughing in the audience!
"barbarian" lollllll
😂😂😂
Right?! Omg that person should've go outside not until the piece is done, I'm so mad.
Another typical Russian coughing. Annoying
This is happening in Moscow. Russians are kinda barbaric on musical concerts . I am telling this as a Russian myself
第一首旋律好聽極了 ! 這個版本聽來很有詩意 !
Фантастика! Браво 👏 👏 👏
So beautiful!
A pro in real life what a perfect play wow

The death of music.
transcendent

Is it not too fast? Im just wondering, cause i play this piece much slower
practice more ;~)
In my opinion I think the second one is a bit too fast for my taste. just my opinion
I play it about the same speed

It's just so dreamy when he meanders softly and slowly. Such is the magic of music like this, and an artist like that.
I do not agree, i think he doesn’t interpretate arabesque at his best…
Is no one gonna talk about the 2nd movement? It feels like he haven’t completed finding all the notes, and mistakes are everywhere

This is the best version of Deux Arabesque I’ve found. His tempo is unparalleled

Lugansky always has absolutely ideal tempo!)
BRAVO.If you can hear a Seurat painting,THIS will be it.

😅not only good taste in music, but also good sense of humor
Marvellous - thank you. Debussy would have liked it.
Ах... какая нежность звучания!
Excelente versión! la guardo ya mismo en mis playlist!!!
Thank you 😊
Listening to his incomparable performance ,
I can feel the aesthetics of Debussy
From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Don't forget that one of the great interpretations of Arabesque #1 is by Japanese musician and composer, Isao Tomita.
