Debussy again! Brings back a lot of memories, I play this on the piano a lot. A personal favorite, along with Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, here's Claude Debussy's Claire de Lune, interpreted splendidly by Leif Ove Andsnes. The music floats like a whiff of fresh air, or a gentle breeze on a starry night, and the magical moment it creates permeates the air like perfume, ravishing our senses with such an exquisite and delicate sound. I can almost feel the first rays of the morning sun finding its way through the cracks on the wall.
Clair de lune can be heard in the following movies: Moulin Rouge featuring Nicole Kidman as well as the Chanel TV commercial derivative, and Frankie and Johnnie starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino (holy crap! I remembered).
Fluid, poetic, highly-sensitive, and very dreamy, words can never be enough to describe the tenderness of this piece.
