[mistressofaminer]

Beautiful rendition on an obscenely expensive piano,once visited a Petrof warehouse inland So. Ca. Salesman Leon, pointed out the impeccable quality and craftmanship of this fine instrument, and it's glaring price tag! You play this better than Hamlisch.

[paulancheta]

[maronnoman]

I love this song and your playing and your kitty.please paly LIZAT(REVE D'AMOUR)for me!!

[mrbrummell]

Selsar, whether or not he is gay is immaterial and none of my business. One thing is for certain; he is extremely talented and shares his amazing talent for me to appreciate.

[selsar]

hey, that was only a wish :-) i agree with you totally. he's so talented but you keep forgetting that the real talent here is marvin hamlisch. don't you think?

[mrbrummell]

True, both are extremely talented. While looking at talent, Barbra has her genius share, too. I celebrate the fact that all three have brought moments of pleasure to my life.

[xtreme2331]

rare talent. respect

[yangeles]

preciosa interpretacion al piano de una de las canciones mas bonitas de Barbra Streisand.

[BECKZIDRA]

Shit!!that's fucking awsome!!It's great, but I play it a very bit longer...the melody. But his perfomance, mmm He kick me!!!

[adenachen]

hi, the song is beatifully played. i wonder where you got this version of the sheet music? really lovely!

[biz663]

I am sure its his own arrangement.

[selsar]

it sounds just like the instrumental version of the song on the way we were soundtrack. i only hope he is gay :)

[superxcm]

Awesome... nice interpretation of the song, really love it.

[fkd1963]

Do you take requests?  :)

[xandre111]

Very nice!!

[delsbruv]

I have just been watching your video 'The Way We Were'. Barbara Streisand.

I had to write to say how much I enjoyed your very beautiful rendition of this fabulous song. You have a magical touch on those keys It is absolutely fantastic.

I am in the U.K. down on the south coast, is there anywhere we can visit to see you play live. Do you have any of your music on CD?

Many thanks.

[legolasgreenleaf8]

You're like the perfect pianist to have on a wedding day. Love your cat...very adorable and complements your piano. The first thing my cats will do when they hear the piano is run away.

YAY PETROF!!!!!!!!!!!1

[lisalisa0926]

Great technique! I am very impressed. I don't think your performance misses emotion. To me, there was feeling. Thank you for posting!

[sugar7777]

all the technique is there but..... missing emotion. there was no feeling. it was played almost robotic. sorry

[leesihan]

[ZeboltKilrogg]

@michaelgwapo23 magical playing.. Petrof should sign you on you make their piano speak like no other artist I have heard.. keep up the good work and think about making some teaching material.,.. James

[Pacabelle]

It's much better than Richard Clayderman. You bring so much vitality and freshness to the song! Your improvisation works so well and it still keeps the romantic nature of the song.

[Monrocsol]

I envy you. That was terrific and beautiful. The cat is beautiful too.

[abitjilted]

That is not less than BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you...

[bobvilla11]
