Remember, these pieces he is playing have been modified slightly and interpreted for a true classical music format. He's not "rushing it" to impress. He's exploring what the music of Banks, Emerson and Wakeman could really sound like if played by the classical masters.

Wow... I love what you did with this. Great job! I have to laugh at how tepid the audience's response was though... I would have been whoopin' it up! LOL
omg, I wish I had your technique. Such clarity and freedom so much of the time. You play this the way I WANT to! (except for about the last 12 bars...;) Well done, Sir.
Superb technique there...I can only wish as a amateur. But the piece does sound rushed in a few spots (maybe it's too easy for you?). Take your time with this great piece of music. And I agree this belongs in the classical repertoire; it's a lot better than some of the standard stuff you hear from the world of piano. Nice post, thanks.
He changed some parts what I think is understandable as the situation behind a grand piano in a concert is quite different from that of a progrock band recording a new record.
@anonymusum Emersons original lechesis was performed exactly like this on a grand piano.He didn't change a thing!You're thinking of the next 2 parts with synth and drums,etc.You'de better review ELP a little more!
but he did not reproduce the first part exactly like Emerson played it and I wrote that this is understandable. Tere are some little differences but I think too small for you to realize.
I'm envious of your technique! The way you power through some of those treacherous bits--and maintain muscular relaxation-- is awesome. Yes, I'm sure Keith would be proud. And yes, this should be in the 20th century classical repertoire. Those of us who play it are helping to make it so.
@fadethetrade There were a lot of blue haired ladies in the audience who were perhaps befuddled by the "crazy hippie music" but it was a very clean performance with a nice touch or rubato right before the pentatonic hammering. Does anybody else have trouble with the B flat to F octave jump in the right hand right near the end? It shouldn't be that difficult but I keep squashing it - fat fingering the E.
Excellent performance of a great piece of music. It's really nice to see/hear Emo's compositions performed in this type of setting. I think much of his material deserves to be in the "classical" performance reperatory.
Awesome but....too fast!!!!I'm breathless LOL

Beautiful interpretation! You got all of the tricky figures right. Your style was more Beethoven or classical to me then Emerson's style.
