Alicia Keys and Debussy’s Clair De Lune

I’ve just finished a new album of famous classical piano works using the amazing Alecia Keys sampled piano.

One of my favourite tracks on this album is the achingly beautiful Clair De Lune by Claude Debussy (1862-1918) Take a listen below.

Alecia Keys sampled piano – a virtual piano created by Danish sample specialist Thomas Skarbye (better known as Scarbee). The piano is Alecia Keys very own Yamaha C3 Neo grand built in 2002 and represents the very top of the Conservatory Collection line, and the samples perfectly capture the warm, soulful and inspiring sound of the C3 – perfect for Clair De Lune.
