[MaTzZe98]

[alexpbarbosa1]

Simplesmente belo,maravilhosa interpretação

[TheMysterypianoboy1]

everyone uses sheet music apart from the guy in the black suit. he's using an ipad if i'm not mistaken lol

[TheLordOden]

was alright, but it doesn't have the same inflection that comes with the brass and strings...

[LailaBecef]

they are amazing , bravo :)

[Crox300]

Racist motherfuckers, always it must be one nigger, one asian, one white ??

[ArchHighLordOmega]

Dude! That was AWESOME!! I LOVE " From the Top " !!! I've been listening to the show on the radio for years, and now I can SEE Christopher O'riley online. Darwin be damned! God bless the little prodigies !!

[draklorian]

4 heads are better than 3

[axxaxaxx]

sounds so much.......less thretaning on piano

[ABookwormAndProud]

How old are these kids? They're awesome!

[Hjoranna]

@ABookwormAndProud From the Top at Carnegie Hall presents a piano extravaganza featuring Alice Burla, 10, one of the youngest students at Juilliard; Jeremy Jordan, 17, from Chicago; and 14-year-old Peng-Peng from New York City, in solo performances. Host Christopher O’Riley joins them for a spectacular four piano finale: Wagner’s famous “Ride of the Valkyries.”

[nerakalove]

Not being Mean but peng-peng is mad at the song it seems

[Medafets]

Gee I would love to hear this live

[drtmuir]

Can't you get page turners for these poor kids? ;)

[pitcalco]

Brilliant!

[tommy9882]

this is awesome

[twilightgirl257]

OMFG The little girl playing?? I know her!!!! Its ALICE shes in my French class!! Oh i'm so bombarding her with questions in French tomorrow

[ArturCimirro]

Great!

Maybe it's interesting as a kind of "contrast" to give a look in my video of the same piece played in an arrangement for the left hand alone

please see on my video section ;-)

[SovietSpymaster17]

sounds better with 4 people than 1

[werq34ac]

Most likely because she is about 1000 times better than you hmmm..???

[RandomPivotMaker]

i wanna lern this D:

[knightpg]

So here's the question. If you play Carnegie hall starting at 10yrs old, where do you go from there?

[pitcalco]

@knightpg They will need to build a new hall in a class of its own.

[brettyfxu]

@knightpg you can only go down from there

[Yaf0]

Awesome digital page turner! Very good playing too!

[Crossovahh]

Great transposition, superbly played. However, it just doesn't have the same impact as the original, I just can't see the Americans bombing vietnam to this

[lynmunt]

a superb performance, I was sceptic but it is marvellous

[ddoyle11]

Fantastic!!! Terrific job all around! And by the way, all you haters out there....just go crawl in a hole and die.

[vnusein]

Che schifo di versione.

[sharkfriend]

The man in the begginning was Le Chiffre, of james bond, cosino royal...

[WiseGuy02]

Le Chiffre was played by Mads Mikkelsen, not this dude.

[BooRadleysGhost]

RUN CHARLIE RUN!!!!

[TheTurtleman9]

what?

[Israelipatriot92]

LMAO

[NaslundFurever]

RUN JEW RUN.

[Ahti333gm]

NO!

run charlie rus is a quote frome the movie "apocalypse now". in one scene, this music is played

[Kratos330]

GG.

[humpmeimapilot]

@BooRadleysGhost

Funny cause there is an asian playing the melody :)

[iceburg008]

@BooRadleysGhost ?? : P

[SS1v3k1]

total AWESOMENESS! I love this song

[kurusek123]

cool

[LazuhSniper]

epic music for epic people!

[Richardtheincredible]

The Nordic Race?

[dolofonos]

Is there any other?

[Richardtheincredible]

Are there any other races?

Yes, hundreds. And the Nordics aren't superior.

[st3v33wunda]

wow, those pianos are niiice

[Ghettobaron]

Why is it that they barely show the fourth piano(the dark guy) and whenever they do show him, its a close up of his face for like a second, instead of actually showing his piano skills like the other 3? Bad cameraman I guess? Just seems weird.

[Naapdaab]

Beautiful!

[marylinks]

amazing

[marylinks]

gong peng peng's father is a great piano teacher. i couldn't learn from him because he lives too far

[yashil17]

does peng peng mean anything in any language? i want to know

[operaghostnina]

i think it means great eagle or something

[marylinks]

no it doesn't

[operaghostnina]

ok sorry! i never said i knew! does anyone know? i'm curious too. but i have another guess: peaceful.

[spacegekko]

if anything it means "to war!"

[bomberchicken]

Really? I always thought it was the group of Norse godesses who rode white horses through battle-fields in search of dead warriors who were worthy of Valhalla.

[sidthinker]

this sounded like a symphony, flawless as usual...it's an amazing show. I find it hard to believe how incredibly talented some people are.. truly a gift from god.

[katie97z]

its called practice

[sidthinker]

yeah, tons of it..but it takes a lot more to have "that" kind of perfection at such a young age...great teachers, enormous amounts of raw talent, and yes, tons and tons of practice. But, it takes all of it.

[derefis]

Age is irrelevant to talent

[sidthinker]

yes, but talent and skill are not the same things, and skill has a time dependent component to it...those with great talent, except for the one in 10,000 prodegy, still have to elapse time prior to the aquisition of the best skill.

[RedBalls101]

True talent isn't playing, it's composing.

[vladimirhorowitz]

Spoken like a true non-musician, "red balls." Those of us that have sacrificed countless hours in front of the piano for the sake of capturing the pure intensity of a Beethoven sonata or the agonizing melodies of a Rachmaninoff prelude or the technical nightmares of a Chopin etude can fully grasp the pure ignorance of such a comment.

Different art. Different talent. That's like saying true courage isn't reporting in a war zone, it's being in the military. Garbage.

[RedBalls101]

Firstly, you've completely misinterpreted what I meant. Not to mention, your analogy was ridiculously inaccurate.

If anything, "being in the military" would be the equivalent of learning someone else's composition. Basically, the music doesn't come from your artistry, unless it's a variation.

It's like learning to paint the Mona Lisa. It's not your work and as such it doesn't come from your passion and artistry. It's like a Beatles impersonator-band in rock-music. Big deal!

[RedBalls101]

It's still beautiful to listen to, yes, but it doesn't blow my mind to see this type of thing.

A parrot can mimic melodies, it takes a true musician to create their own.

[vladimirhorowitz]

Oh I get it. You aren't passionate or an artist unless you composed the music.  Man, where were YOU when Horowitz, Arrau, Richter, Brendel, Rubinstein, Volodos, Ashkenazy, etc. were spending hour after hour, day after day learning piano repertoire when they could have just made a piano roll from the music so everyone could pack into Carnegie Hall and listen to a player piano?

"Red Balls" could have saved everybody a LOT of time. What a waste!

[RedBalls101]

I stand by what I've said. I don't see how playing someone else's piece makes you a great musician. You can make all the pig-headed "Mr.Arrogant Music Major" remarks you want. I think the fact that a young child can play Ride Of The Valkyries speaks for itself. Music, like any art, requires an artistic and creative mind.

Would you say that this young girl is a greater artist than Richard Wagner as she can play his work at such a young age? If not, explain.

[vladimirhorowitz]

Of course you don't see why performance of the greatest classical works of the piano repertoire makes you a musician. You live inside a box that around 1/10 non-musicians fit into.

As far as age goes, Mozart composed his first work when he was 4. There goes that.

Composition? One art form. Performance? DIFFERENT art form. Dude, you're fighting a losing battle. Beethoven, Mozart, Liszt, and all the rest of the masters were constantly performing the works of others.

[SS1v3k1]

I think you should listen to vladimirhorowitz

[vladimirhorowitz]

I'm not a music major, but it's flattering that you assumed that.

You see Balls, the trouble is you equate "playing" music with "duplicating" music. If you can honestly listen to Horowitz play Rachmaninoff and then listen to Lang Lang play Rachmaninoff and say that there is no such thing as a "great pianist", then I'll just let you carry on with your denigration of pianists.

The artistry doesn't lie in putting notes on a page, it is what one DOES with those notes.

[ArturoAlejandroS]

Wagner or Liszt were smiling.Specially the little girl!what a genius girl!

[Jualmir]

Beautifull!!! Thanks for posting"!!!!Greeting From Brazil
