Cecile Licad plays Buencamino - Larawan (The Portrait)

[ledesmaallen38]

Ma'am Cecile, Where is the video of mayon fantasy and ang larawan in facebook? I can't find it anymore . I used to watch that video in FB before chatting because it relaxes my mind.

[triworldsupersaiyan]

I watched most of her vids,dati sa school subject ko lang sya naririnig,but never know kung gaano sya kagaling, ngayong napanood ko na,super galing din pala,pati bibig nya may expression, damang dama nya ang bagsak at diin ng bawat pagkakatiklado nya. Napaka-husay nyo po Mrs.Licad.una kong napanood na vid nya yung Revolutuionario ni Chopin,dun pa lang humanga na ko.,

[ledesmaallen38]

@triworldsupersaiyan ang galing niya talaga siya ang pianist's pianist ika nga...

[daruth10]

SPEECHLESS o.O

[blueyoyi]

It is so unfortunate that so many of the present generation of young Filipinos, the below 35 years old, have barely heard of Ms. Licad, much more appreciate her. Most likely because she has spent most of her time abroad where classical music is more appreciated by the masses. SAYANG .... if she can only be here more often, it will give classical music appreciation a much needed boost. Kaya lang sabi nga - one has to earn a decent living and pag sa Pinas ka lang .. ehhh medyo gutom nga.

[cuteshox]

I think at this point in her career, she should already start playing Alkan.

[sqxyfay]

[marrieter08]

[dotakingist]

[LeoRemps]

Thanks Ms Cecille!!!

[bobosierap]

what's with her mouth? It is kind of distracting.

[erken]

@bobosierap like piano teachers, they sing through (not solfeggio) like parampampam pampam (in legato playing). . . blah blah . . . or ta ta ta ta ta (in staccato playing).

[Wiegenlied09]

She enjoys what she is doing,,, thats great!!!

[Wiegenlied09]

[crstnbuenca]

Joey, were you there? Levi and Jojo. BTW, nakita namin si John sa outlet sa Vegas. Small world.

To Sinji, Cecil Licad is the most accomplished Filipino pianist. She's got a lot of recordings. She's based in NY, USA.

[alexwagenaar]

FW the Netherlands

[taegukgi09]

ASIAN RULES!!!

[popouy]

i love filipino artists

[PhilLiszt]

i too love Filipino classical composer. Cecile Licad, can you help me how to buy the original piece of the piece Larawan. Im based here in Toronto and I want to play that here to impress my friends who are now discovering how beautiful the soul of our nation when I played Buencamino's Luha.

[sinji1180]

who are you? famous?

[chopinasi]

Excellent performance of 'The Portrait' by Miss Cecile Licad.

[junpaano]

cecille licad is my ultimate idol pianist, i love and adore her so muc!!!!

[Joolster]

CLassical music at its best!!! Superb Talo Jazz!!!

[InDeBoi08]

i wanna see her p[laying the famous mayon fantasy concierto

Excellent!!1

[CliveDavisRCARecords]

She is a well-oiled ivory-tickling machine!!

[tasteism]

What do you mean by that?

[kapusopauloavelino]

thank you so much for uploading all cecile's repertoire from past to present.

[slothvader]

beyond technical demands, which imo are considerable in this piece, there is poetry which requires understanding which few understand or possess.

compositionally this piece reminds me of some liszt transcriptions.

wish i'd had a grandpa half so talented.

[marrieter08]

there is too much tension on her shoulders.... she's great though...

[ireallylovecartman]

I love how she plays..you can feel that she's one with the piano..That the piano and her connect..though her mouth was disturbing..:))

[penguin12345678]

shes very good

its funny how how her mouth moves when she playes staccato notes

[musicfinder07]

im proud to be a Filipino! Mabuhay ang musikang Pilino lalung-lalo na si Cecile Licad!

[Riffitus]

YAAAAAYYY!!!!

[gemininer]

Some parts of this piece is similar to Chopin's polonaise op53 "heroic". I wish she could play that one.

[marrieter08]

nooooooooooooooooo

[christiankilla]

buencamino is my mother's last name who was the cousin of cecile licad...rip to my mother 1-21-01

[jjaci]

did you guys know that Buencamino is actually an ancestor of Cecile Licad? cool:)

[jjaci]

mabuhay ang Pilipino!:)

[signorico]

very nice! :)

[macxcore]

wow that is all i can say, her technical mastery of the piano is just superb and very inspiring... someday i would just be like cl.. bravo cl mabuhay ang mga pilipino

[marrieter08]

oh my god, i can not help but to cry whike she olays this musical treasure!!!!

[astraeamizzKAM]

oh how i wish i'll play like her someday....

[kurumbot]

Although the recording is not so good, still NO ONE living or dead or will ever live, can play this piece as superbly as Cecile Licad. Filipinos could weep with pride and joy that such a pianist ever came from a small country.

[astraeamizzKAM]

ahha... maksim can..

[vrljikkerssfesst]

maksim is a crap!!!!!

[libetta]

Yes! the other great pianists never played this, i wish they have so we can listen to different interpretations. Rubinstein was to Chopin because he's polish. Arrau and Cziffra to Liszt because Martin Krause was Liszt's student who taught Arrau and maybe because Cziffra was Hungarian. And Cecile to Sonatas and Filipino pieces, because Rudolf Serkin taught her and she's Filipino! she can play pretty much anything. very proud of her.

[KevinFromSD]

I love the fact that she plays compositions

by Filipino composers (this one was by her

grandfather from her mother's side) when she

performs abroad. I want so hear/see her

play Kasilag's "Mayon Fantasy".

[al940035]

I haven't heard of Kasilag's Mayon Fantasy but I do know that she frequently plays Buencamino's Mayon Fantasy as encores.

[tiklado07]

I am not familiar of Kasilag's Mayon Fantasy. The Mayon by her grand uncle, Francusco Buencamino, is the most popular one.
