I'm surprised so many listeners are impeaching this pianist's considerable talent instead of the audio engineering and acoustics... it looks like he's playing a full grand piano in a brick-walled room, and judging by the closeness of the camera, it may be a small room at that. I'm not an expert, but I might expect the full sound of the piano to be a bit overwhelming under those conditions.
You have such excellent command of the technical aspects of the piano...Now you should not be so concerned with a strict tempo and develop your own natural timing...Listen to piano players like Dr. John and grab you some feel
Before we convict an innocent man... this "tip of the cap" to History...
"Hoagy" composed "Stardust" as an up-tempo jazz piece. It was VERY "Up-Tempo" -- even faster than what Mr. Merandi has presented here. What we hear here is MUCH closer to "Hoagy's" original version of the Classic.
Let's face it... "Stardust" is Beautiful at ALL speeds.
@Paladin1649 That would all be fine had he not titled his upload as Stardust Nat King Cole Piano Cover and then proceeded to pound his way through the piece. Great keyboard skills, wrong title.

Play this song 30% less fast and breath with the sequence of the music, I think you will be able to put much more emotion/ feeling to it. And I am saying this knowing you can!! Listen to Natalie Cole's version of it, she plays it half the speed but fills the other half with feeling.

cool. I would watch out with the pedal though. You're blurring the phrases. Awesome technique though.

Just food for though! -- Great job!
