Suite Bergamasque.

"Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres

Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau,
Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres."
Paul Verlaine

Son: Yves Schotte

I have only heard this piece played once by a harp at a high-priced restaurant in Grand Cayman when I was a relatively young man. I thought it was stunningly beautiful and would have requested that the harper come to our table, but I really did not know an appropriate amount to tip.

I'm a simple gal, I see Clair De Lune...
I click.

This piece seriously sounds beautiful in every instrument

[peterrollinson-lorimer]

One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

[Krillisander]

I don’t know that I’ve ever heard a rendition of Claire de Lune quite at this level. Devastatingly beautiful.

We need this beautiful music so much right now, thank you our angel 🥰 stay safe and healthy

For those who don’t know piano is like a giant automated Harpe.

I used to play this piece so much for my 16 year old teen when he was a baby. We are quarantined from each other in the house right now (so far all ok, not ill!). Sent this to him to help him sleep tonight. Thank you for this most lovely arrangement. <3 from Philadelphia, PA.

When anyone plays the harp really well, as this young woman does, I always think of "liquid silver." I've thought that all my life (and I'm almost 70)---it's just the most beautiful image and I can't explain how the silver makes the music, but it's what I see every time.

My workplace is closing because of post-covid internal reorganization. I haven’t seen my friends and family in months. Inside I feel such a burden. So I truly appreciate the great soothing value of music. This melody has truly helped me today.. no matter what is going on, I can find peace in its complexity and in the beauty of those timeless patterns. I feel healed. Grateful.

This is the height of the beauty of human expression.

I am always a bit biased when it comes to hearing Heloise play the harp. Not only is her playing exquisite but all the music she plays is perfectly suited to the harp. Whenever I listen to Heloise I completely in her thrall. To see her delicate fingers caressing the strings to produce magical sounds. I also think that debussy had the harp in mind when he wrote claire de lune. Thank you Heloise for your beautiful playing.

Her pace, rhythm and phrasing, as well dynamics are so beautiful, elegant, and angelically romantic. Sophisticated and soulful artist.

Sometimes it's good to go to a place to be reminded of what magnificent and beautiful things human beings are capable of doing.

[pinefir]

wow i love this, i honestly didn't connect in my brain that a piano is a string instrument until i heard this played on a harp. i'm so glad my seventeen left n right random streaming brought me here.

[noahsanders]

I’m not crying... you’re crying. 😭😭 and whoever is the, at this moment, only person to dislike this, I’m sure it was only a slip of the thumb.

[irgialbert]

I can see the countless hours of work it took to play like this.

[CaresinVerse]

Tears in my eyes. Nothing ever sounded so beautiful in my lifetime. Thank you. This is music that would make God smile.

[johnrowland]

....and just when you think there's no joy left in the world, a familiar piece of music springs to mind and somehow you wind up here and get blown away by a truly wonderful rendition of it.

I’m starting school tomorrow and I got so stressed at the through of it that my chest started to hurt, my head was just pounding and I was cold sweating but when I saw your video while scrolling through YouTube trying to find a distraction. I almost cried from relief the moment you started playing. I just want to say that you are an angel for being here and for sharing your talent. I know you get that a lot but you don’t know how much you mean to so many of us. 💖✨
