Seong-Jin Cho - Debussy: Suite bergamasque, L.75: III. Clair de lune

[@seong-jincho]

Thank you all!

[@kpluvmusic5876]

Would you please STOP using the pianist's name and picture? Are you doing this because you think it is funny? Well, it is not. Most of his fans know Seong-Jin Cho never gets involved in uploading his own videos or post comments but this might confuse some people. He can't even defend himself and it is totally unfair for him.

[@kpluvmusic5876]

Actually, are you really Seong-Jin? I am embarrassed now. I've seen lots of other channels who use your name and pictures, and I seriously didn't think you would respond to us. LOL. It's such an honor to directly(?) communicate with you.

[@ellend9426]

My family has a summer place on a small lake in NH and one very warm summer evening, I couldn’t sleep, so I put Clair de lune (Reader’s Digest Magical World of Melody 1964) on the stereo and went down to sit on our dock and paddle my feet. It was about 1:00 am and I had it just loud enough for me to hear it. As I sat there, the moon, which was only intermittently peaking through clouds, began to emerge completely and I was witness to something magical: I was seeing before me exactly what the music was depicting. My eyes reared up and my heart filled like it would burst. I had the uncanny feeling that Debussy had seen the same sight one evening and had been inspired to write Clair de lune. That happened more than 45 years ago but the memory is still vivid and cherished.

[@ellend9426]

What I saw was the moonlight as it danced across the water toward me, as if in invitation.

Many many times lost in this magic. Claude Debussy, Seong-Jin Cho, worlds apart, life times apart yet together as one, time and space do not matter at all. Their music travels deeply in the heart of those that have the pleasure to hear it, a kind relief from every day news of war, killings, world burning and so on.

[@evanofelipe]

I’ve listened to this popular piece so many times all my life, but never before heard it played like this. There’s a clarity in Jin Cho’s interpretation that sings out. I’m hearing notes I’ve never before realised were there. The melody is raised to another level. It’s gentle, quietly relax poised and very beautiful - thanks Jin Cho for sharing.

[@lilyomish]

I totally agree with your comment. btw his family name is Cho, and the given name is Seong Jin.

[@tonycollins6]

This version means so much to me, on a personal level. It is played like he wants to enjoy every note/passage of it. It's almost like, through this piece of music, he is telling someone very close to him, how much they mean to him, and he wants them to fully 'get' the depth of his feelings for that someone.

Extraordinary...so many pianists bucher this master piece with a soulless performance. Happy to hear someone who truly feel this beautiful music. When you,as a pianist, can imagine the moon playing hide and seek with clouds in a dark night, you fully understand ''clair de lune''.Each note should be an unexpected ray of light through the clouds. There is a kind of chaos in this music, unplanned emotional bursts. And that's why it is very hard to play. It's not about technics, it's about feelings

[@kelemeno]

My whole life I've thought this was the most beautiful composition I'd ever heard. In 2017 when I was broken up with by my girlfriend of 3 years, I often listened to this song to remember that I still have a chance at love, better than the one I had known. I remember sitting on my empty apartment bedroom floor in tears, alone, holding onto what glimmer of hope and beauty that this song helped to remind me still existed in the world. A year ago I saw the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen walking past me at University. I was blown away and can remember vividly thinking how lucky I would be if I could ever get a girl like her. I never got the chance to meet her, always being in a rush to get to my class. I must have walked past her 5 times. She ended up in one of my courses this semester... I worked up the courage to approach her in the second week and we've since become really close. She knows I have feelings for her, and as far as I can tell, she really likes me too. We're going on our first date soon. I'm often over the top with her to joke about how madly in love I (actually) am with her. The class we share is called Electromagnetic Physics. When thinking about her the other day, I thought.. Trying to use words to describe her is like trying to use an electron to describe the shining moon. Her name is Claire. Update: We've been together for some time now. We just had our first kiss yesterday. She's one of the most amazing people I've ever met. She's everything I dream of in a woman and everything I couldn't have possibly dreamed of at the same time.
