Joshua Hillmann plays Rachmaninoff Etude-Tableau Op. 39 No.1

[paulpianoman]

@jhpianist Thank you so much! It's irritating how people don't appreciate real music anymore....

[MarcusOhrealyis]

You're great. I especially like your Bach, (too!). Nevermind senseless remarks from such as this jmarko- character. He's not even worth the time of day. You are a phenomenal pianist. Keep it up.

[applegateonlinepiano]

Simply Awesome!

[jmarko313]

wheres the guitars and saxophones and cowbell

[jmarko313]

why am i watching this crap

[deannehodgson]

Josh, I didn't know you played piano - spectacular! How about a video of you singing - your voice is just as incredible and has been a highlight of worship experiences for me when at the Beatitudes...... Deanne

[jhpianist]

Thanks Deanne! I love singing for our church very much and am glad you got to see me play the piano which is the main reason I moved to Phoenix! :)

[pianolover1004]

Bravo! So Great!

[kempff95]

i prefer kissin

[andresitokitty]

lol , kissin fails at that piece eh does not put the strengh that the piece require, but also this one is not the greatest one

[DaronSX]

agree

[celpiano2]

Did you win anything?

[Rachturne]

Sooooo many triplets!!!! OMG THE TRIPLETS!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Also @ elmer5. the bass notes are meant to be dominant. you must forget the LH trills !!!

[elmer5turman]

The first half is brilliant - so liquid and disciplined as to be astonishing. The second half is a little less perfect, the bass notes being a little too dominant and the runs a little too murky in their execution. Still, this is a pianist whose recordings I will look for in the future. He reminds me of Julien Duchoud, whose passionate renderings of Scriabin I also admire.

Buena interpretacion, con un elaborado legato y un excelnte sonido. Bravo

[jhpianist]

Muchas gracias por ver mi video!

[Sporadicmystic]

The imagination and coloristic nuances you bring to this score are astonishing. Bravo!

[karensecretisrael]

OH MY GOD this interpretation is just....... FUCKING amazing. Dynamic contrast is just fabulously done.

[chad410]

fabulous work

[Ravel87]

this is really good. bravo

[zkool5]

Though I must add after listening to your video in its entirety that certain areas 2:07 leading up to the climax and including it was kind of messy. But I can understand that at the heat of competition how you can lose it.

[mihajmi]

I cannot understand that!

Messy and good are not going together my friend.

:-)

[zkool5]

Your dynamics are effective! I have different ideas on this piece, but I respect what you've done.

[endlessepic]

Whoa...the dynamics in this song are really amazing!

[closetrebel]

amazing. not only is this song hard, but it is very fast too. fantastic job.

[thepianobreaker]

This allegro agitato, one of the most chromatic in Rach's output, requires so much strength and stamina -you handled its difficulties wonderfully. A thrilling performance.

[qamar07]

Wow!!!

[OnGuardForPeace]

Brilliant hechnique! This pianist can play whatever he wants. However, the main theme is played a little too fast for my taste. But that's just me. He's great! "Hats off, Gentlemen! A Genius!

[dajnerise]

very good but i disagree with some phrasing, somewhere too fast too mechanical maybe...but it's just me!

nice work, c ya

[reedmorkant]

Amazing!

[godaisan79]

i really love it!!!

[Thracozaag]

Fantastic!
