Thank you for your kind and heartfelt comments everyone! Your support means a lot to me and keeps me going. I was thinking that even though I am primarily a solo musician, a video like this is a result of many, sometimes overlooked collaborations: the original arrangement by James Edwards, the guitar by Martin Blackwell, the strings by Savarez, the guitar support by Woodside, the audio and video work by Drew Henderson and all the equipment that he is using, and obviously the timeless composition by Claude Debussy -- so it is in fact a team effort! I am grateful for everyone and everything that helped make this and other videos possible. Thanks again, and I look forward to share more content with you soon!
@@TeeHarb This instantly became one of my favourite performances of all time. I'm not a huge fan of piano arrangements for guitar, but what you did with this piece was truly remarkable, your musicianship and technical skill are awe-inspiring. Congratulations!
Only a few guitarists are able to play and retain the essence of this piece. I didn't even believe it was possible until I heard your performance. Thank you.
*I love how classical music can be both calming and invigorating. Whether it's a soothing Chopin nocturne or a fiery Beethoven symphony, it always touches the soul. 🌟🎹*
Mr. Tariq, I'm Brazilian and Clair de Lune is my favorite song. I know the original for piano, but the guitar is the instrument I like most and play a little. Well, I've never seen anyone play this song like you!!! Execution is extremely difficult. My sincere congratulations and admiration.
I love how classical music can get your attention in an instant. It's like the feeling of watching a movie, hearing someone's story, or witnessing a very beautiful sunset. I'm 24 and I Iisten to all types of genre, but classical music will always have a special place in my heart and it speaks to me even without using words.
Exquisite tone, left hand transitions deftly performed. The musicality, the technique, the recording… all top tier. A performance by a virtuoso of the highest quality, Tariq continues to display grace and God given talent! Bravo!
no other piece of music touches this one if you ask me. it is absolute perfection. every single time i listen i am just sitting in wonder of it and it never gets old. some comment nailed it when they said "with Debussy, the next note is always exactly the note you want it to be"
Julian Bream once told a story that Miguel Llobet was invited by Debussy to come to his home and demonstrate the possibilities of the guitar in that Debussy wanted to write some music for guitar. Some original music. Llobet was so intimidated by Debussy's fame that he never went. Listening to this piece I can't help but dream if Llobet would have gone the pieces Debussy may have written for the instrument would have been stunning. Debussy understood tone color perhaps better than any composer ever and would have exploited colors on the guitar in a way that would have been incredible.
I used to have this song play every night on a random unlabled childrens music cd... I dont think ive heard it since, nor have I been able to find this masterpiece again... Thank you for your breathtaking ability ❤
It's wonderful... the most magnificent version I heard. Each note is stroken differently, by your rich sensibility and touch. Thank you so much for this gift Tariq... You are a godsend. The World needs humans like you to feel grateful to live. Thank you again graceful Tariq. It gives so much peace...
Clair de Lune de Debussy est l'un des rares morceaux de piano que j'apprécie, joué à la guitare c'est pour le moins original, c'est une belle performance, merci pour ce partage mélodique Tariq Harb.
I was a pupil and disciple of Narciso Ypes back in the 60s and he was a master. However your touch, tone and empathic rendering makes the guitar seem like a lover to be embraced - not a challenge to be overcome. It was a joy listening and watching. You play with a sincerity and serenity that feeds and caresses the soul. Thank you for the beautiful rendition of a true classic.
Stupendo Maestro Harb! Ascoltare le sue interpretazioni è sempre un viaggio meraviglioso. Grazie di cuore. TRANSLATE: Wonderful Master Harb! Listening to his interpretations is always a wonderful journey. Thank you with all my heart.
Fabuleux ! Merci pour toutes ces belles ondes musicales ...Une sensibilité et un talent guitaristique exceptionnel; on voyage et on rêve votre guitare.
Dude, I've a few of yours to catch up on here and saw this and thought, I need to hear this again but with headphones on loud and wow. Seriously, man, this is phenomenal. As crisp as a brisk winter walk. Keep pushing, my friend, you are an amazing artist. Love your work.
Bravo Tariq ! quelle beauté, quelle interprétation ! Les adeptes de Debussy ne peuvent qu'apprécier ce magnifique travail qui met cette pièce en valeur au travers de la guitare aux mille sonorités et couleurs...l'esprit de Debussy est là, tout autour de nous... Magnifique ! Jean Marie RAYMOND
Mr Harb ! You are such an amazing musician! Playing these masterpieces with different instruments is a brilliant idea... instead of trying to invent worthless music and neglecting the giants we left since Baroque and Classical eras... even the romantic era ! You made me (who is a classical music passionate) love the guitar !! Thank you ! Keep doing great.
I have no words to describe how wonderful and thrilling this video is. I'm just over thrilled by now. Thank you so much for sharing your art and passion with us!❣️
Thanks a lot.. I appreciate the tempo, modulated to express Debussy's feelings threw your personality. Both complete each other, without any competition. Ability to integrate all cultures within your repertory is what i like the most. :-)

@@avg1500 Thank you, I appreciate it!
La guitarra en buenas manos produce magia.
@@fernandocorado3547 muchas gracias!
Your playing is moonlight itself ... simply magical ...
Thank you இڿڰۣ-ڰۣ-
Played as serenely and soothingly as the moonlit night.
I'm crying like a child, everytime I hear You, playing this wonderful masterpiece ...
Tears of absolute beauty and joy ☺
If Mr Debussy could hear this coming from the guitar he would probably say " Yes that´s how I imagined Clair de lune should sound "
Wouldn’t that be amazing?!! Thank you Kurt!
@@TeeHarb This instantly became one of my favourite performances of all time. I'm not a huge fan of piano arrangements for guitar, but what you did with this piece was truly remarkable, your musicianship and technical skill are awe-inspiring. Congratulations!
@@no-rq7fp I am honoured, Abraham, thank you. So glad to hear that you enjoyed this performance!

Il le dirait dans la langue de Voltaire et de Molière ;-)
No
Only a few guitarists are able to play and retain the essence of this piece. I didn't even believe it was possible until I heard your performance. Thank you.
Isn't it amazing how a guitar can play an entire symphony and comfort us? How beautiful this performance is. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tariq: So achingly lovely. Even the pauses are full of soul, as though your guitar were breathing on its own.
Thank you, Dinah! I'm so glad you also enjoyed the pauses in between the notes. :)
.... revisiting,...man , you're a great guitarist,who were your early inspirations,and your teachers,what comments did they say about you?.
Ho 92 anni e le mani non mi permettono più di suonare; ma ascoltare te, maestro è un piacere immenso. Grande,grande, grande maestro Tariq!
This is the best guitar version
*I love how classical music can be both calming and invigorating. Whether it's a soothing Chopin nocturne or a fiery Beethoven symphony, it always touches the soul. 🌟🎹*
This Guitar has the perfect sound for this piece.
I have been playing and listening to guitar for more than half a century. Epic performance.
This is the best performance of this timeless piece that I have ever heard. Absolutely stunning.
Mr. Tariq, I'm Brazilian and Clair de Lune is my favorite song. I know the original for piano, but the guitar is the instrument I like most and play a little. Well, I've never seen anyone play this song like you!!! Execution is extremely difficult. My sincere congratulations and admiration.
Articulate, expressive, emotional - wow, just perfect!
Thanks, you guys! And thanks for the amazing guitar support!

I'm 24 and I Iisten to all types of genre, but classical music will always have a special place in my heart and it speaks to me even without using words.
I was searching for this for so long. for the people that listen to it, please remind me of it so often its possible.. thanks
This has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written
Amazingly beautiful, there is so much emotion in Tariq's playing, exquisit.
I can only imagine how much practice it must have taken to nail a piece like this. Masterfully played Mr. Harb. Bravo!
I’m a classical pianist and love playing clair de lune. But I have to acknowledge how beautiful it sounds on the guitar. Makes me want to learn
Colorful, airy, subtle, suspended... FANTASTIC
Achingly beautiful. I love the way you put your head down by the fretboard, as if you were cradling a baby.
Everytime I listen to Clair de lune on any instrument, I just melt😢
Wow. That was incredibly amazing! Absolutely superb technique and arrangement.
Damn! This is the most spectacular version I've heard of Clair de Lune.
Exquisite tone, left hand transitions deftly performed. The musicality, the technique, the recording… all top tier. A performance by a virtuoso of the highest quality, Tariq continues to display grace and God given talent! Bravo!
So glad you enjoyed this one, Rob. Thank you for your kind words and feedback!
way to diminish this dude's hard work. nothing is given.
@@sklyrovka all is vanity without God... there is ultimate love and meaning in Him...
This is the one of the best answer from the guitarist.
Amazing tone.
Thank you Debussy, thank you J. Edwards for the arrangement and a standing ovation for the performer.
I'm in tears, my friend. Debussy is my favorite composer, and you did an absolutely perfect job. Debussy himself would be cheering you on.
That is one of the nicest sounding guitar renditions I've heard, absolutely beautiful

Thank master Tariq , Tremendous gift that you give us, thank you very much
Luminous, delicate, subtle timing
Truly a 'miniature orchestra' in Tariq's control...
I love this. One of my favorite pieces of all time. When I get a guitar, I need to learn this. I used to play as a kid, but it’s been decades.
Transportación total.
Una delicia que llega directo al alma
Dios te bendiga infinitamente 🙏❤
What a wonderful performance. I also love the rich sonorous tones from a guitar with a cedar wood top
It's wonderful... the most magnificent version I heard.
Each note is stroken differently, by your rich sensibility and touch.
Thank you so much for this gift Tariq...
You are a godsend.
The World needs humans like you to feel grateful to live.
Thank you again graceful Tariq.
It gives so much peace...

I have no words to describe how wonderful and thrilling this video is. I'm just over thrilled by now. Thank you so much for sharing your art and passion with us!❣️
In a word: Exquisite! I definitely prefer this gorgeous tune played on a classical guitar more than on a piano.
Man, I enjoyed this. Delicately played with satisfying timing and feeling. Start to ending was superb. Great stuff.
Absolutely magnificent.
Exquisite. So many lovely details. And all done without access to a pedal!! I think Debussy would have loved this.
This is so beautiful! I felt in love with this version.
Beautiful. You must continue to create such inspiring interpretations. A memorable performance. Bravo!
Sublime! Now more words is needed!
Incredible Tariq! Proving once again that the guitar truly can sing you to sleep in the warmest and calm way. Bravo!
Thank so much, Nick! Glad you enjoyed this one, currently a favourite to perform! :)
Thanks a lot.. I appreciate the tempo, modulated to express Debussy's feelings threw your personality. Both complete each other, without any competition. Ability to integrate all cultures within your repertory is what i like the most. :-)
Wow
Can't even tell it was originally a piano piece. Fantastic playing and wonderful arrangement skill!
Thank you, Scott! And thanks to James Edwards for the arrangement, and to Drew Henderson for the audio/video!
I just bawled my eyes out. Thank you
Fantastic! Beautiful, Tariq! :-)
