Our mother was a gifted pianist. As children, we always came home from school to a house filled with music. Debussy was one of her favorite composers, with his hauntingly beautiful pieces. We lost our mom in 2005, but have wonderful memories of her playing the piano; she gave us the gift of music every day. ❤

Most beautiful music. My grandma was a concert pianist. She played Debussy at the Royal albert Hall in 1934

Sometimes Debussy is all i can think about.

he put his whole Debussy into this frfr

Debussy is beautiful, soothing, and relaxing. I often find myself lost for hours in Debussy.

Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world 💕🥰

I am dealing with a mother who has dementia and a son who is bipolar. This music is a balm for the soul.

The internet has ruined the word 'Debussy' for me

"Clair de lune" touched my heart as it did for the first time when I was 15 and quite naïve. I will be 69 tomorrow and feel tired of all the hatred, violence and ugliness in our "civilized" world of today. Thanks for this gentle escape tonight with the magical music of Debussy!

There is something special about Debussy's music. Bach and Beethoven might be powerful and grand. Motzart might range from catchy and light to haunting and beautiful. But Debussy's music sounds as if full of love and care, a love that is untroubled by any of the other problems of the world, where one is completely taken to another place.

This guy gets all Debussy.

Every time I hear Debussy I picture our old fashioned farmhouse in Maine with its quaint wallpaper and white-painted woodwork and braided rugs. I was 9 years old in 1975 and we had just gotten our first stereo record player with the automatic mechanism that allowed you to stack 6-8 records in queue so you didn’t have to stand by and move the arm at the end of one side. My parents played classical, gospel, hymns, and all the sacred Christmas classics. Every time I hear this music I feel the peace and contentment that still lives in my parents’ house no matter where they live. ❤️❤️❤️

If we are at peace, we are happy. We can laugh. And everyone in the family, in the society can enjoy the joy from their own peace. To those who are reading this comment, I wish you always find peace and joy in life.

Who knew Debussy was so soothing.

My morning ritual: Wake up, more or less. Make a strong cup of coffee and listen to the music of Debussy before going to work. For me there is something other worldly about his music. I've listened to some of his other pieces, but these are the best. Very soothing.

The best of debussy is how good it feels

can you imagine what this dude would be going through if he was alive today

ah yes, Debussy. No matter how hard I try to leave, debussy always lures me back in.

Grandpa and I lived together in a cozy house in the woods. He was a short, bald and slightly overweight tailor who worked from home. He didn't bother to look good to impress women or men and never got married. His discipline, passion for classic music, and hours of study after work made him into a self-taught pianist. In the occasional instances when I'd shut myself off in my bedroom upstairs, he knew my spirits were low. Like a master, he'd then play Debussy, his favorite composer and mine, for at least half an hour. It's been almost ten years he transitioned into the ethereal dimension. Now, from a distant memory, come the notes that filled the house and reached the small creatures in the surrounding vegetation. Whenever I evoke the image of the movement of his fingers working their magic on the keyboard.

My love for Debussy’s music is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea From A corner of Tokyo of Japan🇯🇵🏯🎎🎍🗻🌊🎀㊗️💮🌸⛩️🎌

Having been raised with no music in my tumultuous home there was no way for me to escape my abusive conditions until I stumbled on Debussy and others whose music was being played in old films my one escape from childhood imprisonment by my disturbed mother. I absorbed this music and regularly played it in my head for my psycholigical survival. As an adult I purchased album after album which has never failed to lift my spirits and the ballets I still envision in my head. Thank you.

Just when I thought I was out...Debussy pulls me back in.

My first time hearing Debussy. Beautiful, relaxing and just melts the troubles of the World away ❤️ Today is a good day.

Debussy + Chopin + Satie ... what a triology!

There’s something about Debussy and Chopin that touches my soul more than other composers.

My and my boys love Debussy, we have Debussy everyday

Oh! Who in the history of man wrote more eloquently *ethereal* music? He was to music what Monet was to art.

As mentioned below, Debussy takes me back to my younger years as well as takes me back to a time to which I imagine...of a quaint home with a beautiful garden of flowers in all colors, of green grass, of a lovely water fountain, of open windows with no screens and mesh curtains gently floating in the breeze, house filled with flowers and comfy furniture.

Debussy is spot on in these crazy times. I wonder how many others have thought the same in the midst of their crazy times.

I just love Debussy. I do not know where I would be without Debussy. It seems that I can not live without it, because it is a part of me. Debussy is life Debussy is everything.

He put his whole Debussy into these

I'm a pianist & grew up learning & hearing Debussy's pieces. They're so rich-sounding yet generally easy to play. Of all the classical genres, impressionism is my favorite & Debussy my favorite among those composers. One of the amazing things we witnessed whenever my sister would play Clare de Lune was how our cat would react to it - he would jump up into her lap and bump & rub his head all over her arm endlessly. He did this to NO OTHER MUSIC but Debussy's Clare de Lune! It was amazing to witness. It's incredible how modern his music still sounds today - stunningly beautiful note combinations & how it lifts you out of your time & space to another world. What a talent!

For a long time I didn't want to admit I liked Debussy, but thanks to my friends and family's support I was able to come out and tell them I liked Debussy. Now it makes me feel so good, sometimes Debussy is all I can think about.

My 16 year old grand daughter plays classical and introduced me to Debussy, we have really bonded over classical music, going to a concert in Nov

I feel this man has secretly influenced a great number of musicians in various styles, all without them ever knowing. That is the essence of being an artist , who you are is forgotten, but what you have created echoes throughout time.

The pianist is soo good with Debussy!

I've been studying to become a surgical technologist, and Debussy has comforted me all throughout my preclinicals. I wont ever forget the feelings of excitement, exhaustion, doubt and love that Claude paints in my mind. Heres to making it through my clinical rotations!

This music, like ray of light- brake the wall of problems and stress today. Im inlove with its softness and calm. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦

I love Debussy. Always finish on the Bach...never finish in Debussy.

Clair de lune was the first piano piece my piano teacher challenged me to learn. It took a while but I finally got it, and along the way opened myself up to Debussy’s amazing library of work.

I am listening to this in my lounge with a glass of Rose. Sublime. My eldest son came in asked me why am I listening to Clair de Lune? I explained why and then his girlfriend popped her head around the corner and said to listen to the Reverie as it blew her mind!. My son and his girlfriend mostly listen to grunge, metal etc, so to say I am shocked is an understatement. Their is hope!!!LOL

Thank you, France for giving us such a genius.

Debussy is new to me. Really soothing. It has become one of my favorite background musics for work.

My goodness. I’m new to listening to Debussy and it’s incredible. He takes you on the most peaceful journey. It reminds me of every happy memory I’ve ever had. That’s the feeling his music envokes.

how can you not love classical music??? this is so good sometimes i just tear up mid-listen and get goosebumps, even though i've listened to it 100 times before.

He died a relatively young man. What a loss. Can you imagine how many more beautiful works he would have created had he lived another 2o years?

I love Debussy! His early work was the best. You have to get Debussy while young. But it is a little melancholic, so if you want to have a cheery day, finish on the Bach, never on Debussy.

Debussy’s music will quench the thirst of the soul

I I loved DeBussy's melodies from the beginning. Melody is my 'thing.' DeBussy is melodic but 'modern' at the same time, meaning he's adventurous, hitting interesting chords, beyond what I could do, but so easy to appreciate. His sense of phrasing is so interactive too, ripples of arpeggios, delightful runs with counter melodies, like he's improvising, which doubtless he was, but he transcribed his spontaneous journeys. He's the whole package. The individual who played piano managed it beautifully and with perfect feeling and freedom. Thanks to ThatClassicalVibe for posting this.

As if clear water flowing from a spring･･･ As if the scent of the forest blowing･･･ As if rose flower start to blooming･･･ Debussy's sounds quitely heal our hearts. I love his delicacy best.♥

There are a lot more genuine comments than I expected

What a genius this man was .He is by far my favorite composer of all time .

Debussy is not a musicien, he's a magician.

That cascading waterfall of sound, unmistakable. Beautifully haunting.

Debussy’s music which cleans away the depression deep inside me, will last forever even if I’m not in this world

I love Debussy. Sometimes all I can think is Debussy.

Soothing enough to be Debussified. Free from bad thoughts.

I can only think of DEBUSSY that's why I came but stayed for the music

There is nothing like Debussy; I am sorry you disagree with me. Still the guy is my first, middle and last choice within classic/al composers. He's timeless. I can listen to it hours and hours and at anytime of the day and still I can't get enough. Thank you, Mr. Debussy.

My sister passed away just a couple weeks ago. She loved classical music. She sang in the choir in Hamburg, Germany. I listen to Debussy thinking of her from Co. Springs, Co. USA and the years we grew up together , practicing Debussy music on the old up right piano together.

The world would be such a better place if everyone would just chill out a little to some classical music..

To him, life is some pure-hearted and cheerful kids, playing in a beautiful garden and never become old.

I totally love Debussy!

I love Debussy, it's not all sad, it's relaxing, it's fun... Even his name makes me laugh ❤😅

8:03 - such a jazz/bebop chord! And the man died in 1918 - amazing.

I just come to the conclusion that I love this artist. I watched a lot of elephant videos and there is a man that played classical music for elephants that were 80 years old and blind and actual tears and it was a beautiful thing. So I like the music he was playing

Almost all of Debussy's songs touch my soul, but especially "Clair de Lune" has a deeper meaning for me when I first arrived in London years ago and fell completely in love. Every time I listen to it, it is heart-warming, making me appreciate and feel gratitude for life!

The first time, I heard Claude Debussy was in the Twilight movies. I fell in love with it then, and I'm strong enough not to give the internet I sec. of my mind. I will always find his music passionate, relaxing, and ethereal. Any story can be placed in there if you let your mind drift there. I use music like this for doing my artwork, I find I can concentrate a whole lot better, and I can feel the lines in my mind flowing with each note. It's pure magic, and I love it !❤❤❤

Listening to this just derailed me from my work. For me this cannot be background music. You have to stop and savor the beautiful moments.

For someone with turbulent personal relationships Debussy still came up with these dreamy, ethereal music. Him and Tchaikovsky ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Monica you are a lucky woman with a mother like she was. I learned athome nothing about music, while I love it so much. I had to learn everything from scratch by myself and I feld myself often very lonely . But now these days fiel myself very lucky and I thank the Lord for the music of all kind! ❤😂😅😊

My daughter played these for me. She kept me in a relaxed state of bliss.

Indescribable beauty Indescribable comfort The dreams of my youth fade as I grow older and sink to the bottom of mymemories Debussy's music transcends time and borders, My soul remains in the Far East

there's something different about Debussy piano music. Elegantly melodic and also make listeners picture some kind of calming relaxing scenes. Thank you for sharing this beautiful compilation of his music. 🍀💚

Debussy‘s music speaks to the soul The comfort of Debussy‘s music is like slumbering on the chest of my late beloved mother when I was infant

Debussy's composition is eternal. It permeates the body, soul and spirit.

Debussy is my favorite musician.When i was trapped in my house,i was always listening to his music.

I was only 18 seconds into this music and already had a noisey commercial. So I stopped and put my CD on instead. No interruptions

All my favourite pieces of Debussy are gathered here! Thank you so much for the playlist 😀🙏

He put his whole Debussy into these songs

Painting, cooking and listening to this. 😊

I’ve fallen asleep to this the last 3 nights in a row 😅 I can’t stop playing it

Debussy‘s comforing feeling is immeasurable, and unrivaled, and outclassing

Remember to always finish in the Bach. Never in Debussy.

Some just speak to a soul never uttering a word ✨ C. Debussy does this for me 🌺

his music is full of light and shine, charming!

So gorgeous. I could listen all day. Thank you Debussy for making life more rich.

I've only just come to Classical music at age 60, alas. This is entirely beautiful. I love Debussy. If there are others like him I'd be pleased to know so I could listen! Just lovely. So evocative.

First time listening to Debussy. Amazing to see how many people like him.

I was exposed to classical music early in my childhood years. Exposure is the key. Many people today don’t have a conditioned ear to appreciate, never mind to listen, to this timeless music genre.

Who don’t love some good Debussy lol

There is no hit or miss with Debussy's music. All is great. The only problem would be the quality of performance and sound

I love Debussy's music his music is beautiful and marvelous it helps me to study and work

Debussy was a true genius, maestro.

18'.11'' Claire de lune - an Absolutely favourite!

I was listening to Debussy on PBS "Star Gazer" and I loved the theme song. Little did I know it was Isao Tomita's rendition of Arabesque #1. I always loved this song and now I listen to much more Debussy. When I listen to Debussy I seem to conjure thoughts and ideas. Very relaxing and soothing music.

Debussy is the seed of the Bossa Nova. I thank him for this to.

It feels like dreaming! So good! I've also loved Debussy's music.

My daughter was an incredibly gifted pianist. Every day she practice these after school diligently and I'd come home to th beautiful sound of it. It still warms my heart to think of all these years later. Unfortunately she was abducted by aliens and was prisoner swapped by the CIA but now must be held in an underground bunker and i cant get to see her only told she is ok. I pray one day she can play again, but she had no piano in spaceprison, and now they wont let me send her one
