Amazing, i have lived 60 years and after life of gigging with a guitar and singing and then retiring from that life. I treated myself to a nice electric piano as a late 60th birthday present. My piano journey has just begun and i will not have enough years in me to reach a fraction of what you have mastered in probably a third of my life but a musical journey is personal experience and gift, aided greatly by one such as yourself, who unselfishly helps others and is a candle of light for us just starting out. I wish i had stared as a kid but at least i have now and learning makes me feel like one in a fabulous way. Stunning performance, thank you young lady. 👏👏👏

This leaning forward to exude full tonal power is breathtaking to behold!

Gorgeous music. From the first few notes it was clear this music fits you like a glove! It breathes its truth so radiantly in your hands.

I think this is the best performance of Debussy's Images book 1. The clarity, lushness, colours!!! Thank you Danae for always bringing out the best of every piece. ❤️❤️❤️

I love "Images" because it has so much jazz-chords, starting in the 1st movement. "Hommage a Rameau" is my favorite of book 1. It's very interesting to notice that those two main composers of impressionistic pieces always reminded on their long history of composers. Ravel created a tune called "Le Tombeau de Couperin". When I was much younger I played chamber music ( French baroque- music) with a flute- professional. The architecture of jazz chords took place a few hundred years ago. Claude Debussy will always take place in my heart. Thank you for your very sensitive performance! I appreciate! Kinds.

You have the special gift of drawing the listener in, so that we have a complete mental and physical experience.Truly fabulous. Thankyou Danae.❤❤❤

In the 2nd. prelude you unleash such tonal power ( 9.00 approx) that it’s difficult to imagine how you bring this weight to the notes. It’s truly thrilling, and a masterclass in full tone- colour.
Thankyou.

Dear @youtube would you please stop interrupting in the middle of classical pieces to put ads. It’s disrespectful!
