I have watched "They Came to Play" on Netflix now about 10 times. Every time I watch it, I am filled with such joy watching all the wonderful pianists. Drew Mays is such an extraordinary pianist, but I also loved watching his interaction with his wife and children. I hope I get to hear him play live sometime!

@oboereed1109 Do you any other movies about the Amateur pianist competition? I know there are some others on the other competitions but I can't seem to find them.

Drew, I saw the documentary of the Van Cliburn competition on Netflix last night, and got totally caught up in it. I was so touched by your family, your humility, your talent, and your smile! When you won, I screamed out loud and teared up. May your life continue to be full of blessings; you have surely blessed me.

Haha, I love how this guy plays with surgical precision - certainly a carryover from his major profession.

Well done ! Schumann supposedly considered this piece "unplayable". It doesn't appear to have been much of a problem for you. Bravo !

Compared to Levin's performance, I actually prefer this. More phrasing, and more musical I think, although not quite as technically accomplished.

Schumann at his most fiendish, but with Drew at the helm a most convincing and impressive performance!!

Great job, Drew! Your touch defines "toccata".

Good solid performance, but plays down the virtuoso aspects too much for my tastes. (Much better than banging the piece into submission, but still....)
