Pianist: Arturo Michelangeli playing Claude Debussy's "Reflets dans l'eau" in D-flat major from Images Book 1. "Reflets dans l'eau" translates to "Reflections in the Water." This pianist was hailed as the most mathematical in the 20th century. Aside from Gould, Michelangeli was considered a "human metronome." I find his Debussy ~slightly~ dry, but still amazingly colorful. contradictory statement, i know. Images Book 1 consists of three pieces, all composed within 1904 and 1905. I'm intersted to know, DO YOU CONSIDER DEBUSSY "IMPRESSIONISTIC?" if not.. what do YOU think he is?
This is my video blog about my musical practice. I decided to start with my favorite classical piano piece. I LOVE water, and I love how Ravel created the feeling of water with the piano. There are a couple of "clams," but I like the overall energy. I will continue posting more music as I record it...
Claudio Arrau pianista Chileno, quizas el mejor pianista del siglo XX, toca majestuosamente esta pieza de Liszt. Una dedicacion especial al tio Guiellermo Elgueta, yo se que gusta mucho de esta melodia tio, espero lo disfrute.
