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.

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.

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 4 жыл бұрын

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.

This reminds me of how lucky we all are to be in this world. This song is so powerful I was just sobbing the whole time it made me forget all my past anger I've had with my family and friends, because it reminded me how much i love them, and that one day they won't be here anymore and I won't be here anymore. No matter how much time you have left, enjoy every second of it because you never know when you won't have it anymore.

성진씨 연주를 들을때면 피아노는 분명 현악기라는 사실을 확인하게 되어요.. 물위를 잠시 걷는 시간이였어요.. 고마워요..

I really like how Cho uses the pedal. The layering of textures is pretty awesome

That was amazing. I can definitely see the influence from Debussy's own recording (which I adore) so this already captured my attention from the first few bars. Great control over dynamics and excellent rubato that makes it feel so natural, akin to breathing, just like what Debussy is known for. The love and respect for the composer is clearly shown in this recording and this definitely earns a top spot in my favorite interpretations.

Magique et tellement magnifique cette Lune évanescente accrochée au ciel si miroitante de par les brumes et nuées.

마치 달빛이 반사된 강물 속으로 녹아 들어가 강물과 하나된 듯한 섬세하고 유려한 소리같아요 너무 좋아요 아름다워요 It's as if the moonlight melts into the reflected river and becomes one with the river. I love it. So beautiful.

Cho Seong Jin has probably, among other compositions, recorded the best version of this piece to date. The sound penetrates into you and conjures up memories of your past: moments of pure bliss, heart-wrenching pain and eye-widening hope. Thank you Maestro Cho for bringing us this majesty for our ears; your artistry has changed the way I hear music and I cannot repay you enough. May your sound live on through the ages.
