"Rhapsody in Blue" in the style of Debussy

[Neocantes]

The absolute hero of humanity

[Kailoa36]

Nice but no Rhapsody in Blue.

[Lothlurien]

@Kailoa36 i disagree - there is a lot of motives from Rapsody, even if they are hidden in Debussy's style :]

[florinbaiduc]

@Kailoa36 On other pieces I might agree, but here you are wrong... there is a lot of the Rhapsody in here... Basically if you know the piece, and if you know Debussy, you will have no trouble understanding "what" in the style of "who" is this piece...

[Rasterius]

THIS should be on TV

[cxcondit]

Gotta disagree, it's not "raw" talent, it is refined talent, developed over many decades. And I love it.

[GUGSSS235]

I cannot believe he's improvising...this is not improvising, it's more like writing another piece, and instantly...he's a genius porca troia è un mostro!!!!

[LaFilleDeLaRue]

Please go on tour and come to the Northeastern seaboard.

[ericksonstudio]

His talent makes me want to cry. Wow.

[stevomil]

raw talent right there.

[CH3CH2OCH2CH3net]

It's funny — but it's so elegant and musically — IT WORKS!!!

[aspina3]

you make such a profound point super philipp.. however. i like this guy. he is old and sweet and talented.

[johnnynoirman]

Richard could turn Gershwin into Hidemith or Stravinsky if want to..incredible!

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

You are one of the most unique pianists I have heard. I love your "renditions" =)

[paninomorbido]

this man is fantastic.

[shadowrun45]

I couldn't believe first, but Gershwin and Debussy harmonize very well.

[Aquired2]

Both are, more or less impressionists, though Gershwin is more radically 'jazzy', but even Debussy uses 'jazzy' chourds, as did Ravel.

[Superphilipp]

That's not really a fair analogy. Debussy developed his music largely toward the end of the 19th century and would later influence much of early and especially modern jazz harmony. Gershwin was a quasi-jazz songwriter in the beggining of the 20th century who would broaden his perspective to ultimate include influences like Debussy in his compositions.
