Hervorragend! +++

[melantha1000]

my mum was a pianist for a living,and your playing is wonderful,it transports me

[Weynedepaula]

Beautiful interpretation!

[avatarnarutochuck]

Music like this made me think how awesome it would be if Jerry Goldsmith was still alive... He could single-handedly kick Zimmer and minions ass collectively!!!

[CairnTerrier69]

You Sir....are a wonderful musician!

[waldteufel78]

@CairnTerrier69 i am truly flattered! thank you so much

[atcred3]

you...sir...have more emotion in your finger tips than most of the people that i know have in their hearts.....thank you so much for the goosebumps my friend!!!

[waldteufel78]

@atcred3 thank you a thousand times. you made my day!

[Diffrentjamsith]

Can you please send me the chords? Just PM me if you can and we will talk more.

[judyrose1957]

You played this so sweetly so amazingly sweet.. and I love it.. and wish I had learned to play piano if only 4 this one song. Thank you...Fröhliche Weihnachten!

[waldteufel78]

@judyrose1957 thank you :-) same wishes back to you!

[Vmetal]

[BluuSkyz]

Anyway you could write the notes out and link it? Would be amazing

[harrydunneX]

Beautiful job! Jerry is almost surely delighted!!!!

[Scorchs]

@waldteufel78 Hallo Waldteufel, ich glaube ich kann es mir sparen Englisch zu sprechen. Ich merke du wirst ständig dasselbe gefragt, aber ich kann verstehen warum. Deine Interpretation ist einfach Klasse... Darum will ich mich den anderen anschließen und fragen, ob ich auch die Noten haben könnte?

Meine Emailadresse wäre: samuel.schreiber@web.de

Vielen Dank schon im Voraus. Liebe Gruße aus Karlsruhe

[waldteufel78]

@Scorchs grüss dich. kann dir leider keine mail schicken, weil angeblich deine mailbox voll ist.

[Scorchs]

@waldteufel78 Ohhh wie peinlich. OK ist aber jetzt wieder frei. Sorry.

Gruß

[miangelsai55]

Another delightfull piece well played as usual , Andy !!! Te saluda Miguel Angel desde Argentina !

[nbelsky]

Lovely.

Will you be doing "The Gremlin Rag" next?



[waldteufel78]

@nbelsky oh, i don't know that one :)

[nbelsky]

@waldteufel78

It doesn't accept links to other youtube pages, so search on "Gremlin Rag"

[TR0N91]

This is a great interpretation of the score, and you really gave it the feeling it deserves. Great job! and even though its not note for note accurate in relation to the way Jerry Goldsmith wrote it originally, you did your own thing and arranged it beautifully and it sounds superb!

[waldteufel78]

@TR0N91 thank you very much. glad that you like it :)

[xeraisa]

que buen sonido tiene el piano, y muy bien tocado

[AMLiebig]

WOW - Thank you - that's awesome!!!

[Andreas0424]

Fantastic interpretation! I was wondering if you would consider uploading it at a higher resolution so I could take it everywhere with me?

[waldteufel78]

@Andreas0424 hi. i think this is the best quality i get... i am not so good at these things.

[KateJ1985]

I really enjoyed this, you played it wonderfully... great Job!! x

[schmadedaz]

this is the only creepy song that i actually fell in love with

[thekingsean92]

Very good. I am now learning to play the silent hill theme from the video game, i reccomend you play that, it's got the same beautifull/eerie feel to it.

[atcred3]

goosebumps!!!!!!!!!WOW!!!

[spikesatterlee1]

would you write it down. im not one for black key, but im in love.

[alandon]

This is just gorgeous :D

[haatwerken]

take some speed man....

[waldteufel78]

@haatwerken oh no... that would destroy the song

[haatwerken]

@waldteufel78 roland?

[waldteufel78]

@haatwerken no, it's yamaha

[ThePhantomofYT101]

BEAUTIFUL!!! makes me quite sleepy and its quite creepy! add to that that the room im watching in is ill lit XD I WISH I COULD PLAY LIKE THAT!

[AeroCodex]

Even the video is... cinematic. It's the lighting, I think.

[jenga2100]

Where can the sheet music for this be found?

[inanedane]

Sometimes you randomly browse YouTube and come across something truly wonderful. This is one of those times. Thank you.

[waldteufel78]

@inanedane thank you too !

[ultraplex1970]

top job.....niceone

[splofft]

They're Here!

Awesome cover! Very well done

[pugwash84]

so beautiful xx



[ChairOKey]

Wow. thats damn good. Every note was exact.

[ridemad]

could listen to that all day long, Thanks !!

[quizzicalsphinx]

Stripped down and without the children's chorus, this becomes a hauntingly sweet and slightly old-fashioned song.  Your interpretation was masterful. Thank you for sharing it.

[waldteufel78]

@quizzicalsphinx thank you. your comment means much to me!

[djmixnmagic]

I have always thought this song would not have quite the haunting quality it does in its original form if it had not been associated with the movie. As the "Poltergeist" theme and in light of Heather O'Rourke's death, it has a sort of eerie beauty. But as a stand alone song, it has an innocent beauty, and you wonderfully captured that.

[waldteufel78]

@djmixnmagic thank you so much! 

[AhoyJagan]

sorry, want to mean World

[saroo911]

AMAZING SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! AHHHHH :D

[TonyMaximMuscles]

Wow, you took one of my favorite movie theme songs, which is, of course, spooky and ominous by design, and turned itc into sometihng light and insightful, while still staying true to the main meoldy. Very talented. Bravo!

[skydragonl]

Not going to lie, I went to this video and assumed it were going to be a very low, dark sounding piece. But to my surprise, I find a very peaceful, and beautiful melody. You play superbly, I envy your talents. (=

[waldteufel78]

@skydragonl happy to hear. thank you very much! :-)

[BgDadysgrl]

Beautifuly done!

Beautiful song, beautiful tribute and beautiful Heather

Thank u very much

[tuska20000]

Normand Corbeil - Painful Memories

[rbrusius]

Bravissimo!!!!

[grimreaperhenrik]

Outstanding, amazing feeling to it :)

[daisyhinojosa23]

most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[AhoyJagan]

@daisyhinojosa23 Lol the biggest lie i ever heard, its ....... <-----------------------------­--this, listen More Beethoven and Mozart and then u can say the Most Beautiful things u' ever heard

[daisyhinojosa23]

@AhoyJagan I wasn't lying. I really think this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. It always calms me down when I'm upset.

[AhoyJagan]

@daisyhinojosa23 yeah, its nice, but still a lie, cuz u know are many masterpieces like this in this warlock, try Ernesto Cortazar - Beethoven's Silince :D

[arcibaldinico]

veramente bella, complimenti!

[HylianSpirit]

You get a very rich sound out of that setup. Beautiful.

[jay2009ize]

ive comment on this before but im going to again,such beautiful song,not scary at all just reminds me of a sunny day .kids playing in the park lovely blue skys just a very peaceful song x x x

[ravenwhitechapel]

Thank you. Its is amazing peaceful, beautiful and why can't I find a man who cooks and plays like u.. thank you so very much. Its one of the most beautiful things I've come across on you t and the internet

[waldteufel78]

@ravenwhitechapel thank you very much. unfortunately i can't cook... :-)

[RichardNYPD]

@waldteufel78  lol

[babyplaze]

Whenever I hear this song during the Poltergeist films it always makes me well up and cry, it has a way of reminding me of the loved ones I have lost, rest in peace family x, you played this beautifully

[Elsquanday]

can somebody say proffesional?

[acoustra831]

Perfect! You nailed it! Bravo! 

[jsun322]

I especially enjoyed your own final touches. Nicely done!

[whitetrooper]

Sweet...very sweet. I always wanted to own that piece of music. Love it!!!

[paulallen34]

really very nice tune nicely played too.

[1996Coaster]

Heather's not gone, she's just missing in action

[LordOfNothingreally]

@1996Coaster LOL!

[StarWarseu]

So cool piece i wanna learn this exact version XD But you worked it out by ear, D'oh...

[melrose2121]

This literally had me in tears. Very moving.

[pimppappi702]

tight

[enigma800]

I dedicate this to Heather O'Rourke's (Carol Anne) memory. As I type this, it's December 27, 2010 which marks Heather's 35th birthday. We miss you so much Heather. Happy Birthday sweetie.

[maxwesty]

a few posters commented on changing the melody a bit...I believe that's part of the beauty of your interpretation...especially the end...starting at 2:50...giving the piece added depth and emotion...I've listened to it 100 times

[Mimasfriend]

@maxwesty Sweet Tragic Warm and Stirring

[maxwesty]

I have been a film score aficionado, my entire life...I have heard more interpretations than I could ever hope to remember, but I won't forget this one! I love this piece of music and did not believe that the ethereal innocence of one's passing could be so effortlessly played...you have captured another side of what lies beyond these notes...the piano is liquid surreality...your subtle nuances...I am completely impressed, as Goldsmith would be, guaranteed!

[waldteufel78]

thank you so much, maxwesty !

[safte4]

wow, if you wrote down sheets i think you'd make a lot of money, 'cause those are hard to find :c

[hussa786]

soo good this music electric

[KerriBahrik]

That is absolutely beautiful. I love the theme song to this movie. It is so sad. I play the piano as well, but nothing like this--it totally amazes me how easy you make it seem. Thanks for sharing.

[KJOSCOT]

You did well with this beautiful music score by the late Jerry Goldsmith. He'd be proud.

[VossiNudossi]

That's so beautiful....

[jay2009ize]

I don't ever think of this theme song as scary far from it ,just a lovely pice of music,could listen all day to it =)

[1996Coaster]

where did you learn this?

[waldteufel78]

@1996Coaster i learned it by myself... listened to the theme then played it on the piano.

[1996Coaster]

@waldteufel78 that's dead awesome, I can play it to, but no where near that good, I'll post it on youtube soon

[waldteufel78]

@1996Coaster looking forward to it :-)

[1996Coaster]

@waldteufel78 thanks

[ignoranceandwant]

Sigh...I hear this and kick myself for the hundredth time that I told my parents I didn't want piano lessons after scoring high on a music aptitude test as a fifth grader. I really, really wish I could play an instrument, but I'm 33 now.

[thegothicbaby4life]

[waldteufel78]

@thegothicbaby4life send me ur email :)

[HylianSpirit]

This song is such a contrast to the movie itself. This is beautiful, while the movie is horrifying.

[enigma800]

That was sublime! Thank you for doing this. I can't help but think of Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke) when I hear this. RIP Heather, we love you.

[nickmellor34]

Hey Waldteufel78 that was awesome and stunning, i wish i had the talent to play it , it's one of my favourite pieces of music ever and you nailed it.......Fantastic.

Beautiful

[FanBrazil1]

Wow, I love your version very much. I especially loved the fact that you didn't play it too fast. Very well done.

Just one thing: you shouldn't just change the melody, at 0:28. Or was that a mistake?

[waldteufel78]

@FanBrazil1 thank you. no, it was not a mistake. i actually felt like alternating that little part a bit :-)
