I agree. The piano just can’t capture all the nuances of this mystical piece. I’ve heard it played many ways. This is close to perfect as I have heard

I will they would play that special crescendo part that’s near the beginning more than once. The most beautiful piece of music ever

I feel this iconic piece lost something in the translation to orchestra. The shimmering of the overtones of the piano strings conveys the intangible shimmer of moonlight - the magic of moonlight. The physical shimmer is too elusive and ephemeral for the physical realities of an orchestra, no matter how perfect.

Ive never listened to classical music or orchestral music before listening to this, and the first time I ever listened to this was a magical experience. It is truly the most beautiful sound I have ever heard in my life and the first work of music to ever make me cry. I love it.

@JorgeBennettComposer

Thank you for this amazing comment. I believe what you felt is similar to what happened to me while listening to this piece for the first time. It was not only the music or the performance. A deeper truth manifested itself through this music. Why was Debussy able to touch this special place in our souls that connects us with heavenly yearnings, i have no idea.

Same thing happened to me, I used to like rap music and stuff like that. But after this Divine gift from the gods, I changed my mind.

This is the song that has always made me think of only the good, and dreamy parts of this life. The love you share with others. Laying on the cool grass on a summer evening just looking at the stars and listening to the crickets chirp. The breeze gently blowing through the trees, bringing in the smell of rain. My grandma's flower garden, and how it seemed so magical with it's big fat furry bumblebees. Grandma's hands that would dig in the garden, and feed me the best food, and pull me close for a long hug. Sitting on the front lawn with neighbors and watching the fireworks on the 4th of July. Watching my children run and play and laugh. The comfort I feel when I'm in my sweetheart's arms...
Nothing but good things with this song. Thank you for posting it. ♥️

This version and the piano version have two very different vibes. This version feels like walking down a road at night with your lover, taking it all in without a care in the world while you’re still young. The piano version feels like the emptiness and sadness in your life after losing that love.

I think of my parents young again and full of life. I think of myself with my older brother at our local lake when we were young, me playing in the water and him flirting with all the girls. He was a real catch lol! I remember us looking down where the water ran off way down below, the part of the music when it gets very deep, reminds me of watching that water run off, which was scary as well as exhilarating . This piece brings such memories of youth and childhood, of love and being loved, when everything was so new and exciting to mind! That's what good music can do!

I feel like this music is most suited whenever you want to let out your emotions—i.e. sadness, sorrow, depression, grief, etc.
Its a perfect piece to listen to when you want a good, cleansing cry. There’s no shame in wanting to cry—no matter what societal peer pressure will tell you otherwise.
Real men like myself cry as well; it’s a sign of humanity. And while that inner lizardman part of me wants to mask my true feelings of stoicism, at the end of the day, I still have feelings too!
