Debussy's Claire de Lune in a remarkable performance from Radoslav Kvapil at the age of 90!
The legendary pianist Radoslav Kvapil recently performed a Debussy recital in the Břevnov Cloister in Prague at age 90!
This extract is Debussy's “Clair de lune”:
“Debussy wrote Suite bergamasque in 1890. It has four parts: Prelude, Menuet, Clair de Lune and Passepied. Three of these parts include good music, but Clair de Lune is exceptional. It was Immediately performed as an independent work and became one of the most popular Debussy works. Debussy´s innate genius is expressed here, in which he proves himself to be a magician in colours. Its harmony is still not so distant from that of the romantic period, but the ideas he is expressing here are totally different.” —Radoslav Kvapil
