Debussy scores a 20-million hit
UncategorizedThis may be the most people that have ever listened to Claude Debussy.
In a video from Lana Del Rey’s album Freak, the American singer segues without warning at 5:33 into the French master’s Clair de Lune. The piano piece plays while young women float underwater in diaphanous garments.
Just as Debussy intended, no doubt.
Watch.
Any idea who’s playing?
Maybe there’s a poll attached asking which section the viewing prefers? Or is it Lana del Rey showing off her pianistic chops?
“This may be the most people that have ever listened to Claude Debussy”
I’m quite sure that the 2001 film ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ was seen (and heard) by more than 20 million people. Incidentally it’s also Clair de Lune, although in an orchestral arrangement.

Wow. They should tackle Jeux!
