Genre: classical
Year: recorded in 2006 - performed by Jorgos
La fille aux cheveux de lin (The Girl with the Flaxen Hair), is a musical work composed by Claude Debussy. It is considered to be one of Debussy’s greatest pieces, and one of the most recorded. La fille aux cheveux de lin was written just before Debussy went to war in 1910.
La fille aux cheveux de lin is Debussy’s two-page delicate musical work that may rival the Clair de lune from the Suite Bergamasque. The unaccompanied melody at the opening shines softly, followed by the mild middle of the piece that takes one away to the Chinese regions. The climax (after the build-up of rising pentatonic scales) is perhaps the piece’s most memorable moment. The parallel fourths of the final pianissimo moments are turned upside-down, rising up into the warm sun.
The Girl with the Flaxen Hair is featured in the movie Ladies in lavender, just as the TV episode of Doctor Who: The Robots of Death: Part 1 (1977).
the best performace!

Thanks Isaque for the compliments. I played and recorded this version of La fille aux Cheveux de Lin more then 2 years ago. I’m a huge fan of Claude Debussy. All the best, Jorgos.

Gorgeous. I’d only heard a guitar version before (for some reason). When I die, I want it to be listening to Debussy. Morbid but true…
Matt
that’s professional quality, well done
Beautifully played, Jorgos. I love this website.
very nice Jorgos! I love this song almost as much as Clair de lune!
it is sweet and the most amazing it even touch my heart. It it slow and vibrant
No one can beat Debussy at the piano… No one… Even Beethoven, Mozart, Litz, Wagner, Chopin, Bach, Schumann…
The same emotion that this guys puts on a entire orchestra, Debussy puts only in the piano…
Congratulations to the performer…
