Magnifique version Bravo !
Very tender interpretation.
You made me smile seeing your 'unusual' finger angles here and there - you're teasing the audience with your occassional stabbing thumb !!!
I think this was on ABRSM's Grade 8 Syllabus a couple of years back.
Well done!

Love the sound and the performance too of course... May I ask which Pianoteq instrument you are using?

The title itself evokes a dream-like state, and Debussy masterfully captures this ethereal quality in his music. It predates some of his more harmonically innovative works, I don't think you should treat it with more emotion than necessary. Lang (!) story short: my vision on this piece is classical, keep it simple.
Bravo Paul, very nice! I’m learning it at the moment and your video will be helpful. Which Pianoteq preset did you used? Thanks

No, I never played clair de lune. I played a lot of preludes and etudes of Debussy.
Now, it's time for Beethoven for me.
All the best dear Stig.

Thank you, thank you Paul. Have been waiting for this.
Rêverie. Such a beautiful piece. Captures the title, "a daydream" well.This is actually even better than Arabesque. Now first on my playlist Reverie, then Arabesque and Clair de lune.
For me, one of the most beautiful pieces…….and your playing, I’m like in a different soundworld, a very special dream…
You perfectly understand Debussy's spirit…moving performance.
Beautiful tone and phrasing...Very dreamy.
Great use of dynamics, music like this is treatment for a soul. Wonderful piece and excellent performance and - You nailed the end, the last 20 seconds, extremely beautiful ending. (Interesting, exciting, to see you used your thumb on D at about 1,46. Gave nice effect, soft low tone (not loud), good for the dreamy feeling).Well, this is what I honestly think about it.
Thank you PaulBest wishes,
Stig
btw, have you played Clair de lune before we met?
