È come affacciarsi da una terrazza su un immenso e sorprendente panorama mozzafiato. Si scorgono di continuo pezzetti di mondo incantevoli, e i continui intrecci tra pianoforte e orchestra sembrano le meraviglie sparse verso linfinito.

[@pianistluna]

This is it. This is THE most underrated piece I've ever heard.

[@Scriabin_fan]

Debussy has been (for many years) and will always be my favorite composer and this is the first time I'm hearing of this piece. I always wished that Debussy wrote piano concertos and this is the closest thing we'll have to a piano concerto by Debussy.

The closest we'll ever get to a Debussy Piano Concerto. 😩😩

[@matteogenerani5097]

True! Similarly to how “Pour le Piano” is a Sonata that’s not called “Sonata”

[@FossilisedFishooks]

It is a piano concerto, he was just too cool to call it that. Same as La Mer...it's a symphony but he resisted using the term due to being "pigeonholed"

[@sorim1967]

@@FossilisedFishooks Well, he also thought the work was bad and he disowned it, could not have cared less what we call it

[@visveee6678]

If only he had written more concertos in his life. I’m in love with Debussy’s style.

I hear foreshadowings of Afternoon of a Faun, Nocturnes and La Mer. Fine writing! And fine playing.

[@AndrewKierszenbaum]

The color change at 5:35 (and the next 10 seconds or so) is incredibly moving

[@grzegorzpieniek6422]

I love the moment at 13:38. It's like being in a magical garden at night during summer

[@macchupicchu3]

Was not aware that this music existed. Thank you for bringing this piece (and many others!) to my attention, George :D

[@davisjesse7]

The entrance of the piano at 6:40 is so triumphant and beautiful

[@ControTutti]

A 13:38 si dischiude una tra le cose più belle mai concepite da essere umano.

[@yagiz885]

Debussy was against to traditional forms, so he rejected to compose a piano concerto. But I am still satisfied with this fantasy, it has satisfied me much more than most of the piano concertos I've listened.

[@stravinskyfan]

The greatest piano concerto of all time isn't even a piano concerto.

What about symphonies?

[@lisztomaniac2718]

You shouldn't do that.

[@Rhythmmical]

Soooooo.......how is this NOT a piano concerto?

[@milgaru]

i don't know 😔

[@christopherchurcher7319]

debussy actually originally intended it to be a piano concerto (and it essentially is), but he was afraid he would be instantly compared to the previous piano repertoire of fauré + saint-saëns at the paris conservatoire, so he called it a fantasie instead!

[@jiafeiskinnyproducts]

impressionist composers i guess 🤷‍♂️

[@visveee6678]

@@jiafeiskinnyproducts Not because he’s impressionist, Ravel called his piano concertos, well, concertos. Debussy just didn’t like the idea of his concertos being compared to other concertos, i think (probably because he is in a new age of music). So he called it “fantaisie pour piano et orchestra” instead.

Don't know why the term, "impressionism" survived. Debussy, as well as his stylistic contemporaries were early modern composers.

[@7takes]

I think the score is wrong at 18:50, but great video!

I think have the same socre, I think Freire is playing something arpeggios to fill that part as a harp.
