Happy belated birthday Debussy, I hope you like my second interpretation of this lovely movement from your Suite bergamasque. :)
Your Pianist,

I remember asking my piano teacher, "Could you teach me the middle bit of Clair de Lune" he smiled and said "Sure, but be careful" with a massive grin on his face (he knew I was going to love the crap out of it). I enjoyed it so much I haven't stopped learning the piano since. And now that he has passed and our lessons have finished I can't help but smile uncontrollably throughout the whole piece! And when I get the whole piece just right, I laugh thinking of him. Piano is my drug!

[@fpereira77]

I don't know how this piece is originally supposed to be played, but there are so many versions of this here on KZbin where the notes/chords, especially in the beginning are played in such a rush... I really hate those versions. I like this one because, from the beginning to the end you play every note in such a peaceful and relaxed manner. Thanks for that :)

[@dovestone_]

Filipe Pereira as far as I can tell this is pretty similar? Maybe a bit slower with slightly altered rhythms? V similar tho

[@fpereira77]

Many versions available on KZbin play the first few chords quite hurriedly. Kyle doesn't, and I like the way he played it.

[@thebiggestReeinthebusiness]

if you look at the sheet music, you can see that the way most people play it is very different to the way Debussy wrote it to be played, not saying they're all wrong, just saying he thought different.

[@lara6683]

This is so timeless and dreamy....'What we see and what we seem are but a dream, a dream within a dream'

[@Dernhelmful]

Everything Kyle Landry performs is simply exquisite and magical.

[@fpereira77]

Unless he puts in some improvs and overdoes it, which was not the case here anyway.

[@neilpower60]

The sweetest, most beautiful thing I've ever heard, it's like a Rosepetal, delicate and perfect yet so complex

[@cweb8585]

No Sir. I shall not listen to this. Claire De Lune is my special lifelong gem that I pull out at parties to impress people (EVERYONE likes CDL). If I listen to you play it I will never respect myself again.

[@KathyMaKB]

but you did didn't you. lol

[@prestonrcasey]

@@KathyMaKB Legends say he, in fact, did.

[@muhammadm241]

@@prestonrcasey god.. no.. some legends suggest that he did in-fact reach such level of mastery and approached clair de lune perfection..

[@Tyrannotorresrex]

One of my favourite things about pianists is how their hand can flow like feathers across the keys but all of a sudden change to lead when they have to play loud. You are an amazing pianist, and have been one of my favourites for a couple years now, you go kyle! Great rendition of this wonderful song!!

[@dariettolive1]

not only a faithful reproduction, but a true and warm melody played by you, congratulations

[@Mariofanfreak1]

I honestly have to say that was one of the prettiest interpretations of this song I have ever heard. One thing in particular was that this interpretation didn't feel rushed. It had a nice blend of expression and dynamics and was very well played. Superb job!

[@Truyen]

I have heard so many different versions of this piece, but this one is by far my favorite interpretation of all. The tempo and emotions are just perfectly played! Wonderfully done Kyle

[@sugan6018]

I love the way your fingers glide across the keys... it's beautiful to watch..

[@gayatri11011]

The note at 1.13 and the part from 2.13 to 3.27.. its the best! Simply amazing!

[@eldrake35]

Hello Kyle, I'm a french "fan" ! I follow you for 2 years, and it's every day a pleasure to listen your gift of the music ! :D I believe you're one of the only pianists who feel enough the piano to play so well ! You must receive lots of messages like this one, but for me, you're an example and you gave me the desire to play better than never (I'm a pianist too ^^). In this two years, I have progressed unbelievably and I can say it's thanks too you, Liszt, Chopin, and Debussy ! ;) Thanks you again and again, I hope I would be able to send you an interpretation of one of your arrangements or pieces in order to honor you ^^ (You know, I venerate nobody, but your're nearly an exception !)

[@anonwhathaveyoudone5127]

This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

[@jdaled]

Loved how you held the note in the end. You just gave me an eargasm.

[@paulinejulien9191]

Best version of this magnificent piece ever... the more music I hear from him, the more I think he is a proper genius...

[@Goorlel]

Kyle do you also ever wonder how a person is able to create such beautiful melodies and write them down on paper? A truly phenomenal gift that only few possess.

[@Goorlel]

Music like this is eternal, thank you for sharing the beauty of your talent once more.

[@auerwack]

Those appergios in the left are flawless. Not an easy piece to play without banging, and you do it beautifully.

[@MoisesNieto]

Very nice performance *__* So relaxing!

[@t3hsis324]

I absolutely love how passionate you are when playing the piano, Kyle. Your music is so beautiful.

[@BatesonBen]

Absolutely beautifully executed mate, well done. I've heard this played 100 times, and this is by far one of the best.

[@TylerNBPianist]

You should do more Debussy, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff man. You do them a lot better than most here on KZbin.

[@haruetaimekaroonreung9871]

agreeee

[@lmj0789]

This is...absolutely one of my FAVORITE songs. I feel SO much when I listen to it and I felt that in your playing. Thank you!! :-)

[@Brandencarroll1]

I can honestly say you're my favorite pianist on youtube. You are very talented.

[@xstarxgirlx21]

This makes me so happy. It reminds me of when I was little, my mom would put on a CD of classical music to fall asleep to, and this was one of my favorite pieces from it. Thank you. I noticed you took the rubato a little slower though, but it was so delicate and nice.

[@Mistywind99]

Oh my gosh! I'm halfway through learning this piece and have been trying to find examples to listen to, but all the others have really odd tempos and I don't like it. This version, though. Just amazing. Absolutely perfect. And by one of the best pianists I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, no less. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@katebarnes5126]

I am learning this song for a competition and this piece is such a work of art. It so beautiful and graceful

[@chronoes15]

I'd like to take this as my late birthday gift, which was on the 23rd. This is by far my favourite piano piece of all time. Thank you, Kyle :)

[@filyboy7]

wow. that was mesmerizing. i started playing this song a while ago and never finished though. you totally just inspired me to pick it up again! whenever i'm blocked and not sure what piece to dive into next i can always count on you for inspiration. thanks!

[@SweetSimplicity003]

This is one of my favorites. Thank you for playing it again for us. Absolutely beautiful. :) And happy birthday to Mr. Debussy! Your music lives on!!

[@Skywreckdemon]

What a coincidence! I'd been thinking about this song all day. It's nice to hear it played by you.

[@russianswag409]

Wow! You are incredibly talented. I'm current re-learning after giving up years ago & I'm about 2 minutes in. You definitely given me inspiration & motivation to finish it. I love this song & fell in love with the way you played it. Fantastic, I take my hat off to you!

[@Gene63]

I love this piece. You play it well and with a great deal of emotion. I love to listen to you play, Kyle. As I've said before, I've been playing for 40 years and it is nice to hear someone with the skills you have putting it out there for everyone to enjoy. Keep it up!!! I look forward to your next video!!!

[@sarahlily6436]

This is hands down my favorite classical piece, and you play it to absolute perfection! You get all the props my good fellow... :)

[@flatoner]

Thank you, you played this song beautifully. This song will forever now be in my heart, i have to learn to play it.

[@breebartlett2950]

Absolutely flawless. Could listen to you play for hours.

[@SACLynnFabia]

Beautifully played and artistically expressed. One of the best versions I have heard. It left me with much inspiration to strive for. Thank you so much.

[@Jr.and.Sr.]

I actually enjoyed the middle segment being sped up, put a nice touch to a classic. Keep up the good work kyle *First piece I ever played

[@marybethdietrick79]

Just learning this (at age 68!). It's really helping me to watch you and others play this. Thanks!

[@dearfriday5448]

@melissa 345 lol

[@noob_automata]

I could listen to you all day. This is one of my favourite piano pieces, thanks for playing it so beautifully! ♥

[@paulaspianoperformances6320]

Kyle, terrific performance of one of my favorite and timeless classics!

[@MimiAckleh10]

Even better than your previous rendition. Beautifully done.

[@ThePianoguy89]

You are amazing! You are so a piano inspiration for the whole KZbin community! You can play anything!

[@uwldluvme21]

Absolutely stunning.

[@ecoeco86]

The middel and last part are with great musicianship understanding,but teh first part was imo the static! its Rubato, so fell free to play like a branch in the wind,(my piano teacher said that) forwards and backwards, slow down and speed up. Allthought really really great!!!

[@15971972]

Debussy e seu fraseado musical que dá uma sensação forte na espinha - nos pega na sensação do sentir inacreditável !

[@bakerdu26540]

Fantastique. Tout simplement bravo

[@EePee9]

I still remember when i first heard this :P in Barnston Primary School, after register we headed to assembly and they used to play classical music as we came in. This was played on my first day in year one

[@MooreCookies]

I've been having a really hard time here lately and your music seems to calm me, so thank you. You're fantastic. :)

[@Peter1992t]

This is one of my favorite pieces.

[@jfpalas]

I just close my eyes end let the music take me away... thx Kyle!!!

[@josephkittel2259]

This is amazing. And so are you for learning it.

[@TheSeminoleWind]

Amazing feeling, man. You play from the heart.

[@Buck25thCentury]

Less than 10 seconds into this I suddenly realized how much I suck at playing this...... Your an inspiration for me to practice harder..... a whole lot harder : ) Thanks Kyle

[@beadprincess]

Lovely piece and beautiful playing! I wish I could learn how to play Clair de Lune like that.

[@CreeperInWaiting]

Whenever I want to listen to Clair de Lune, I will now come to you Kyle.

[@Obikin89]

It reminds me of Darker than Black. I loved Yin a lot and her theme (Yin no piano) is inspired from this piece.

[@NotTellingYou89]

Great to hear! Makes me want to work on my Clair de Lune more! ... a couple more years at the piano!

[@TheTrustytrust]

Oh man! I remember asking about a year ago if you were ever going to do this song! I'm so happy you did! =D Absolutely beautiful.

[@alexs.2069]

favorite pianist plays my favorite piano piece ..

[@MaxLucasPiano]

It makes me happy when people over the age of 20 learn! I hear too many "somedays" or "I cant now". Keep on rockin!

[@DragonFire360Media]

I have always loved this piece!

[@NegginandNatasha]

this is so amazing. i want it played at every life event of mine. just softly playing in the background.

[@somethingrandom9219]

Love this! It's soooo beautiful!

[@ForeverImo]

Hauntingly beautiful..

[@Felizia]

YAAY! I wondered if you are going to do Clair de Lune 2 and you did! Thanks c: And also congratz with your nomination for being the FAM Artist of the Week! Voted!

[@MrInsaneCranium]

you are invincible kyle!! way to go!!

[@Dazy143]

Love listening to this song at night. Thanks, Kyle. :)

[@kurantoB]

Having heard this piece a couple times before, I was surprisingly able to flow well with your style. Not surprised that Debussy's one of your favs. I also won't be surprised if they make this rendition to be the "standard" version of the song itself! XD

[@MrJaspermyboy]

I just love how you play. Keep inspiring!!!

[@hatusharu94]

Kyle you're one of my piano idols on KZbin

[@ConfessionsOfAnImposter]

Iiieeehh!! I played this once!!!! So great to hear you play it!!! Loved it

[@PaulTong]

one of my favorite songs. you played this so beautifully

[@TristonianDP]

I just want to say - I love all of your stuff. If there was a button to like everything - I would click it. I wish I could play like you!

[@Rickfernello]

Beautiful.

[@AndrewFurmanczyk86]

I always found this piece hard to pick just the right tempo, Kyle, you NAILED it. This is exactly the perfect tempo. Voicing was splendid!! rubato was jucy and hawwt. haha I love your interpretation.

[@kindlybloody]

Yessssss this is my favourite song by Debussy. Thank you!

[@donkingcpa]

Bravo. You got the tempo right. It is so easy to rush this piece in all the wrong places.

[@lazlopanaflex777]

Absolutely beautiful...I think the master himself would heartily approve :-)

[@ashleyes143]

This is my favorite! Oh my gosh you're amazing

[@veronicarivas3629]

Wonderful!!! Love it!!!

[@claire632]

Your interpretation is perfect. You're amazing!!

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Debussy,s 「Rune 」has the magical power . My soul is purified by this power . Bathed in the light of Debussy,s rune ， our souls become able to see the essence of things in this world .

[@ezenart]

Goosebumps at 3am, best feeling in the world.

[@imkrazy182]

Great song, you did it amazing!

[@yllaw57]

Magnifique, merci kylandry, gros moment d'émotion....

Really beautiful!!!

[@selinehay]

amazing as always.

[@Jordanafolly]

I just Love it !!!!!! :D The moonlight is really beautiful ^^

[@VerdonTrigance]

Debussy, Clair de Lune - my favorite classical composition for a long time. But last few years it sounds really often. I think the reason is Twilight.

[@TweetyBird862]

I love this piece soo much! :)

[@C5films]

Amazing performance buddy. You are truly gifted.

[@orinka9585]

I love how you move your hands😍

[@AlyssaBrookeShafer]
