This is so good, I get teary-eyed just listening to it.

[poigmhahon]

Truly wonderful....wow....thank you Seong-Jin Cho, much respect.

[bertrandgandubert]

Seong-Jin Cho interprète à ravir cette magnifique page de Debussy. Qu'il en soit remercié.

[alexroznowski]

For me one of the best interpretations, so much grace and control. Simply stunning!

[tornasolito]

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.

"the most important things in music are not the musical notes, but the silence between the notes" : Claude Debussy. This is the first time on YouTube I can hear a pianist who truly understand that !

[kimkwangoh]

Definitely The Best of all of clair de lune.
this is clair de lune on the water in the middle of the night in the clear - green - forest itself.

[lexbraxman]

This is the best version ever. I can tell immediately it's different

[창백한푸른점박이]

조성진의 달빛은 청각뿐 아니라 시각과 촉각까지 같이 느껴지는 달빛이다. 들을 때마다 내 마음속에 떠오르는 심상이 너무나 뚜렷하다. 음악으로 이렇게까지 전달할 수 있다는게 정말 대단함

[LiquidTurbo]

The delicate extra press @4:02 shows how much mastery there is over this piece. Amazing!

[VisualCalculus]

I have never heard this piece played like this. Its amazing.

[roncline]

Seong-Jin -- this piece is my meditation, and you play it with the same understanding of Debussy's intent that I feel. I see you. Thank-you so much.

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.

I'd listen to you a million times, Maestro Seong Jim Cho ❤.

[Zach_Routhier]

Words fail to describe what we are witnessing here as we all listen to this man play the piano. My goodness.

[lilyomish]

moonlight touches a silky curtain very subtly, and the curtain flows shattering the light like diamond grain

[deutschegrammophon]

Cho is a superstar in Korea and has studied in France where he fell in love with Debussy. What does the winner of the Chopin Competition evoke with his Clair de Lune?

[aloe.]

This might be the best rendition of Clair de lune ever played

[TINA]

Cho best interpreted the quietness of moonlight and seemingly twisted mood of Debussy that this piece is trying to convey.

[SeymourBernstein]

Dear Jin Cho, this is one of the most beautiful interpretations of Clair de lune I have ever hear. Beautiful phrasing and beautiful choreography of your wrists and hands on the keyboard. Bravo to you.Seymour Bernstein
