[angelvu]

[FantasieX1]

[TheBaldy40]

[Hectorson3]

Good Knight! This guy is good!

[11aneta]

Wzruszające wykonanie....

[pianoplaylist]

Zgadzam się całkowicie! Gra wspaniale.

[oldspam]

arpeggio |ärˈpejēˌō

noun ( pl. -os) Music

the notes of a chord played in succession, either ascending or descending.

ORIGIN Italian, from arpeggiare ‘play the harp,’ from arpa ‘harp.’

[ranimouf]

Jon.  you're great.

[MoonAuge]

great...fantastic ! ♥

[567rEy765]

BETTER THAN RICHARD CLAYDERMAN!!!!

[dookiekong007]

@567rEy765 oh my god, without RC, this guy wouldn't even be playing this song. plus, you CANT even compare the two. Their different. U a kid?

[567rEy765]

@dookiekong007 Its my opinion... and my taste of music.. I know their different, This rendition is much more complicated than richard's, which is much more simpler, The similarity for me is the arpeggios which richard uses on most of his pieces and also the violins on the background. So for me, My OPINION.. better than richard's..

P.S. IM A MASSIVE FAN OF RCHARD CLAYDERMAN.. and envies how he plays.. so dont get me wrong.. Im not a hater...

P.S.S. Yes.. Im a kid

PEACE!!!

[stephenroy66]

Fantastic!!!!! what a gifted man, thank you for sharing your incredible talent.

[chopin7777777]

:'( nice man nice!! thanks a lote!

[chocodil2]

Hey how long have you practiced?

[pianoplaylist]

Jon England got his start very little, being coached by his grandpa. Interestingly, he never had a formal lesson and plays strictly by ear. His YT page, jonengland, says he's 48 now, so just over 40 years.

[cyclon616]

pretty amazing!

LOL watch this 2:03 so funny face

[renez100]

@cyclon616 . I did..he sure looked funny. Overtanned on one side!..haha!

On a serious note....beautiful music, if only I could play like that.

[oldfugnug]

Superb rendition of a very beautiful piece of music. Love the revolving chandelier.

[jiffypop1988]

hes amazing

[PrinceOfBeauty]

the location is very good

[sassysizzle]

Simply beautiful! Takes me back to 1971...

[D320320]

klimper klimper klimper....

I find it is realy bad

Ich hasse so aufgeblasene säcke die sich als Weltklasse Pianisten schimpfen...

da ist die Melodie in den hintergrund gerückt...

für so eine show würd ich kein penny zahlen...

so versaut man also auf künstlerische art ein wirklich tolles stück.

[pianoplaylist]

Also wo sind ihre schönen Videos, die Sie sauer kraut?

[koukku64]

jess... 10 points !

[rwb010109]

Never heard it done better than this. RWB

[patroklos70]

WOW. great job but i think that he put a lot of notes and he lost the meaning of the song. it's great but...i don't know. i prefer the other version that i've heard.

[stephenroy66]

Great job!!!!!!!!!!

[brentbanaagbaab]

pls don't take this badly but...

i like his music, and the song.

but about his left hand... I think his left hand is a bit amateurish. he relies more on the background music. but i know... the arrpegios are hard to do, and he is good just for that.

*sorry for my english and/or spelling*

[pianoplaylist]

Criticism is welcome. You do very well for 12 years old. Do you like Clayderman's music? I don't. I have some but I don't think he plays the piano very well. He relies on the background music, plays with one finger, then does the same arpeggio in every song. Thanks for commenting.

[pianoplaylist]

U know I rewatched this when played on my automatic list & his left hand looks like it stays very busy to me. Seeing the reflection of it in the piano helps. I always wanted that kind of grand.

[brentbanaagbaab]

Well...I think it is overdone. The begginning was good. But I can't understand the climax. It consisted of too much arppeggios. The melody can't be heard clearly.

[pianoplaylist]

Well, I'm sure glad we have an expert like you to keep up straightened out on these things.

[brentbanaagbaab]

Thank You. I really didn't mean any ill feeling at my comments. Again, I'm just observing. Thank you very much.

[brentbanaagbaab]

I am also enjoying listening to it.

I even favourited the vid

[whimsical24]

well, then i commend him even more! :)

[whimsical24]

pianoplaylist, could you please tell me if there is the sheet music available for THIS EXACT VERSION!!! oooh i love this song so much, you would help me greatly if you knew :) thx

this guy has friggen TALENT! i mean, wow... absolutely breathtaking... <3

[pianoplaylist]

I so agree with you about his talent. I can tell you there is no sheet music for this version; for the man playing plays strictly by ear and doesn't read music.

[JonEngland]

Hey there 'whimsical24;

I've just seen your request for the 'sheet' of my arrangement of this piece - if you like to send me a message with your e-mail address, I'll gladly send it to you. I can't read it but I had an orchestra director 'score' it for me, direct from my recording. Jon

[michaelatm2603]

Woo hoo. How can I play like that?? Praise God.

[bodybum]

u cant learn it. its genetics. its in your blood or it is not

[pianoplaylist]

Differing opinions and debates are always welcome on my page as long as their respectful. I feel yours is mistaken in the strongest sense of the word.

[pianoplaylist]

Jon's story of how his father had him practice is incredible. His music truly does give praise to God, as you have said. Don't believe it can't be learned. But it takes hours and hours of daily practice. I'm practicing the runs and arpeggios with a metronome getting faster and faster. I have no musicians in my family. It's learned. God gives one the gift, but that one must develop it him or herself.

[JimmieBluffdweller]

The synthesized strings add to the overall effect of highly processed cheese.  This is an overdose in tackiness....

[pianoplaylist]

I disagree. If they were midi'd strings mimicking his every note, that would be tacky, but I don't the strings are overdone here. To each his opinion, I guess.

[HreNmyhead]

I agree

its such a beautiful song.

And the strings and light drums made it sound like it was played at a cheesy wedding

The song has such an incredible untertone to it, its hard to hear with so many synthesized instruments over the raw peice.

[pianoplaylist]

You misunderstand his music. He is creating lighthearted-feeling, easy listening. That's all. Don't take it so seriously.

[brentbanaagbaab]

my favorite part was when he played the ending part (where he seems to be playing with the piano), around 2:24.

[brentbanaagbaab]

That's the part where he plays Fast arpeggios

[pianoplaylist]

Yeah...he's amazing. That part there is mesmerizing. He said it takes a lifetime of practice to get a song to where it looks effortless.

[damgoodballers]

Isnt he that one piano player that tried "americas got talent"?

correct me if im wrong, i just feel like ive seen him before

If i had that soundtrack, id be able to play like that....

and im not just b.sing... 15+ yrs of piano playing.... i think i could pull that off

ill put on some vids soon hopefully....

[hEhAtEemEe]

unreal

[NESMASTER14]

Man..that is so good it gives me the chills every time I hear it. 2 words...Simply Beatiful.

Bravo

[rockingranny57]

Two words: Simply Beautiful...

[colli274]

Amazing...I would love to learn this song!

[rwb010109]

This should be 5 stars at least..RWB

[Drizz322]

SHOW OFF!!! LOL.... very nice work!

[rwb010109]

This is 5 stars,,2nd comment,,RWB

[rwb010109]

Very well done and great song,,RWB

[pianoplaylist]

Isn't it, though? I don't know why he's not more widely known. In some ways his technique is superior to Liberace's. (Some people aren't going to like that I said that.) And he is not a Liberace imitator like David Lomascola and so many others that imitate Liberace astoudningly well. Even some amateurs on YouTube imitate Liberace note for note astoundingly well. Personally, I would rather glean from his techiques as I continue to develop my own style. That's what Jon England did.

[hifidude]

Please give us name of the pianist. Thanks.

[pianoplaylist]

His name is Jon England. Click on "more info" if you want to order his cd's. I did.

[myteddy04]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
