Piano: Alexandre Tharaud (Warner Classics/Erato) Choreography/dance: Yoann Bourgeois, acrobat www.ccn2.fr Filmed and edited by Raphaël Wertheimer More for the Debussy centenary: www.debussy100.com "To create – to be creative – is to draw a door on the wall, and then open the door. 'Clair de lune' opens this door wide to transport us to a time where time doesn’t pass. That’s why we become children again when we listen to this music. Artists exploring ideas together become like childhood friends. Alexandre simply closed his eyes and we found each other, on the other side of the door." -Yoann Bourgeois __________ Warner Classics ► Website: www.warnerclassics.com Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: wnrcl.me/subscribeYT ► Newsletter wnrcl.me/subscribeNL Follow us on: ► Facebook: www.fb.com/WarnerClassicsErato ► Instagram: www.instagram.com/warner_classics ► Twitter: twitter.com/WarnerClassics ► YouTube: www.youtube.com/warnerclassics Listen to us on: ► Spotify: open.spotify.com/user/warnerclassics ► Apple Music: itunes.apple.com/curator/warner-classics/1153741571 ► Deezer www.deezer.com/profile/321050935 Warner Classics is the home of classical music, featuring iconic high audio quality recordings from the greatest classical legends, opera stars and orchestras of the last century.
