Debargue doesn't even need the conductor. Look at that eye contact, the genuine connection, he is so awesome!

[@pelegrino791]

Bear in mind that was the first time he played with an orchestra ! It's just incredible !

[@harlemqnext4919]

superb

[@alexandervonpreyss283]

Sometimes a genius energy is filling this world. Lucas Dubargue is spreading musical resonance to the world. Brilliant!

[@poetmale]

Nobel peace prize for LD!

[@albertpeckham9515]

What a genius! Apparently, the judges (?) decided that because he didn't use the "accepted" fingering techniques that he was "not worthy" of anything but 4th place. Amazingly, few remember the winner but this young man is taking the musical world by storm....so much for the technocrats! He is truly amazing and exciting to hear!

[@ethansaltmere]

probably partly to due with the very nasal sound he produces and complete lack of legato. It's all too percussive

[@BurningSky9]

@@ethansaltmere Nasal sound at the piano? This level of pretentiousness should hurt.

[@justadude641]

@@ethansaltmere He is not a singer and your comment is ridiculous...

[@davidmoran5431]

@@ethansaltmere I rather like the comparative (not complete) lack of legato; makes for a clearer and more interestingly followable musical performance than most. Usually in Liszt the form and argument are not the chief things heard.

[@ethansaltmere]

David Moran finally a comment from someone who knows at least something about piano playing. Sound quality is one of the chief wonders of the art of piano performance and the difference in sound different artists can male with the same instrument. Take Volodos and Horowitz for example

[@charleshudson5330]

Judges definitely underrated him. There is a magnetism, a charisma that comes through in his playing that can't be denied. Remember the judges in these competitions are often old, conservative and jealous.

[@piettrebernard57]

The russian judjes "loved et supported" him - but some other ones wanted tu push down - said Boris Bezerovski. He said also that Lucas Debargue was a genius...

[@justadude641]

He is truly amazing, a genius, and much better than the winner, who obviously won because is Russian.

[@nandorblue]

They are old liberal not conservative.

[@debussy843]

He deserved to lose because of that mustache so 🤷‍♂

[@AlexanderA-it9is]

The Moscow audience was delighted with him, it seems that they did not notice other performers

[@ehamilton6791]

Lucas, your interpretation here is a spiritual event. Years on, and it still continues shining with so much love and grace, just like Venus in the morning sky in February.

[@adge323]

The way he looks at the cellist at the start.....you can really tell the music resonates within him so deeply. Such a beautiful and poignant pianist.

[@jacksongrant15]

And the way the cellist nods back(this kid wants to make MUSIC, okay!). It was probably unusual for him, but he knew what it was about and could return the gesture.

[@jeromecoulomb7757]

YEAH that's exactly what I thought !

[@charleshudson5330]

Just listened once again and I'm more convinced than ever that Lucas should have won. The sensitivity in the opening is tear-evoking in its beauty and elegance.

[@damiaubay2027]

Superbe! votre interprétation est un enchantement! et quelle émotion d'être dans cette salle!

[@francescobenasaglio7964]

L'ho ascoltato il 19 maggio 2022 al Festival Pianistico di Brescia. Non sapevo nulla di lui. Si è subito avvertito che in lui c'è qualcosa in più rispetto a molti suoi colleghi pur dotati di tecnica ineccepibile. La sua esecuzione di Gaspard de la nuit e di Scarlatti hanno lasciato il segno. Molto coinvolgente !

[@Starritt_Piano]

I love the way Debargue plays along with the orchestral interlude when the main theme transforms into a march ... It heightens the true sense of triumph Liszt longed to convey 😂

[@JJTownley_Classical-Composer]

What do you do when you're playing an impossibly difficult piano passage, written by Liszt no less, and the orchestra gets ahead of you? Why you just play the impossibly difficult passage faster! At least that's what Lucas Debargue does in such scary situations, like 11:36 And notice at the double glissandi at 11:23 he uses only one hand (no, he doesn't do them in a single octave, though that'd be a neat Weberian trick). There really should have been platinum, gold, silver, and bronze this competition because really there were FOUR winners. From the looks of things, however it will be Debargue pushing the three very able medal winners into the shadows because of his spectacular playing combined with that novel, James Bond-like surreal early life he had...playing piano by ear as a beginner at 11, giving it up to become a bagboy at a supermarket, then resuming it at 20, combining serious study with honing excellent jazz piano skills, to place 4th at the most prestigious competition in the world four years later and only because, as someone who was a fly on the wall during jury deliberations, he played scales using only his thumb and index fingers. Apparently such techniques are beneath an artist of quality. Whaaaa...? Want to hear a "dream gig"? Debargue and Matsuev, who is the most incredible jazz pianist since Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum, together on stage doing sets. I'd pay all $2.49 in my bank account to watch that. Hey, why looking so disparaged? You never heard of the Widow's Mite?

[@rosejewel4]

Well said!!

[@frederiquechesnais]

Actually, he never was a bagboy (there are no bagboys in France), he was just part of a band, playing bass while he was in highschool. But he is a great musician, I had the chance to hear him last saturday in Compiègne, the city where he grew up.

[@KayHarpaGone]

Bagboy ???? "there are no bagboys in France" ? Can you explain this word "bagboy" please :-)

[@horatiodreamt]

"Garcon de bague".

[@KayHarpaGone]

ça ne veut rien dire en français ou alors c'est un jeu de mot avec "Debargue" - "de Bague" mais ça n'a aucun sens - tant pis... laisse tomber.

[@effemusik]

The most sensitive musician of the times!

[@leonsundermeyer]

obviously great Pianist. The reason why he got 4th place might be that he did some mistakes and others can do it "without any mistakes"- obviously thats wrong. I think he Shows the Impressionist side of Liszt with his 2. piano concerto. i heard his Gaspard de la nuit by Ravel i really like the sensitivity in his fingers!
