[@Scriabin_fan]

At 1:23 the cellist playing the melody almost makes the cello sound as if it’s crying, beautiful that’s all I can say!

[@stevehartmann8067]

It's there when the tears well up....

[@EMOD564]

Funny, cause for me thats at 1:50, mostly cause the harmonies are much darker here and it higlights the almost painful melody, but In your case its the opposite, the harmony is much brighter and it clashes, not in a bad way, with the melody

[@zoeedmonson1396]

I've watched this at least 30 times. I've cried at least 29 of those times

[@HajoHeinz]

No wonder...

[@Transterra55]

No matter the instruments used or the arrangement, the music of Debussy always moves me...the sheer beauty and emotion he creates is extraordinary. The SAKURA performance is sublime.

[@seannoel8018]

Debussy would be proud, if only he had the chance to hear this...truly a masterful performance

[@SMWhizKid]

I've always loved the piano rendition of this piece, but this made me tear up instantly. It's like it begins breaking my heart into pieces and ends up mending them into place again. Beautiful. Thank you.

[@aysiawrites232]

do you use windows 7?. if you EVER used one, this is gonna be the example music.

[@iscott3550]

How perfect, how can something have such a truth? Debussy said "Works of art makes rules; rules do not make works of art." I am so grateful for his romantic impressionist approach to music, during a time when others were way too restricted.

[@zoeedmonson1396]

1:32 the communication between them is everything. they're so in sync, it's beautiful.

[@kayedeedid]

I heard this and was deeply moved, back to a time when peasant girls worked the fields and would stand among the bright golden shafts of wheat and rye in the bright sunlight. Such a warm piece of music.

[@ryacoli]

Dedra Kaye DeHart chaffs

[@lovemetu]

@@ryacoli WRONG, you cannot stand in a field of wheat or rye chaffs. The lovely description given by @Dedra Kaye DeHart is perfectly ok and referred to the peasant girls standing in a field of uncut wheat or rye and was poetically expressed in her own way. Chaff is created AFTER the wheat or Rye has been cut down and processed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff e.g Chaff (/tʃæf/; also UK: /tʃɑːf/)[1] is the dry, scaly protective casing of the seeds of cereal grains, or similar fine, dry, scaly plant material such as scaly parts of flowers, or finely chopped straw. Chaff is indigestible by humans, but livestock can eat it and in agriculture it is used as livestock fodder, or is a waste material ploughed into the soil or burned.

[@ryacoli]

​@@lovemetu @Dedra Kaye Dehart wrote "...the bright golden shafts..." when they meant to write 'chaffs' I was correcting them.

Those were the days my friends ,when life was pure and simple,..we thought they would never end.

[@jerryhogue3917]

@@janejohnstone5795 Ah yes, we all long for the days when women and babies commonly died during labor, most teeth rotted before old age and had to be removed with crude, septic tools and without anesthesia, diseases were widespread and often fatal, and we all shat and pissed into buckets and then dumped them into the same rivers we got our drinking water from. Purer and simpler times.

Christian S. de Macedo agreed. That and 1:52. Whole body chills.

[@ushoys]

No I can't. Of course I can't do it on a cello either. But this Debussy piece does sound better played on cello or violin than a piano.

[@faustarudyte762]

In case you missed it, listen to Paul Barton's rendition

[@monikathomas4985]

ushoys it actually sounds great in any arrangement. Different feel but all are great. And I get a strong Vaughn Williams vibe. Wonder if he inspired him

[@mcgregorhumanities]

this is the best version of this piece that i have heard. this is as close to paradise as man will ever come.

[@hannemanisunderrated5610]

I had a terrible day today, so I guess having this video pop in my recommendations is a sign to get better

[@Antibellium]

My favorite arrangement. The sensitivity of the cellists’ articulation really captures how delicate of a piece this can be.

[@robertprieto2730]

neither my heart nor my mind can reconcile what my soul hears and feels: there is joy and peace juxtaposed against melancholia and nostalgia; I feel a longing for what is not there... people and places; the memories of yesteryears; the sweet drops of time that seem to last an eternity while at the same time disappear in an instant. I too have fallen in love, but wonder who the recipient is.
