Grieg Concerto on piano (1)

[pllk12]

This is a very good transcription, with all the essential elements of the piece. Have you ever considered composing an own cadenza? I have sometimes played a cadenza which is based on themes from Grieg's Peer Gynt.

[PuresMusic]

Forte all the way through?

[guldklimp]

He's not playing forte all the way!

[musician1245780]

Well,you can't always expect to have an orchestra to play with the soloist. Sometimes having two pianos playing the whole concerto is fun too! He's just having fun,so just relax and listen to the music he's making. You don't have to be too serious. Just my one cents. =)

Interesting pages of criticism from the experts? To those of who do not, just let us hear with our heart as well as ears and enjoy the music.

[andrewtagalo]

you're so talented.

[gwaur]

It would be a better transcription if it was transcribed using an actual sheet as source, but mostly it's pretty nice for one being done by ear. :o

[ladomi7962]

bravo!

[ThePianistMathias]

Good, but i didnt like it all, some places were to away from the original sheets... one of my favourite works by grieg!

[kasyapa]

close attention to tone-production - i appreciate your playing the romantic repertory. continuez!

[zgmx101]

this is a great insult to the original piece

[Animefreak76]

Original music is meant to be changed. I could consider Kid Rock's song where he changes Sweet home Alabama and Werewolf in London a butchery of original music, but I don't. If someone can take your work and make something else out of if, then you should be flattered that someone thought your work was good enough to be imitated.

This guy rules, screw the original music, if you can forget that this was ever something else and listen to it as if you'd never heard the original, you wouldn't care.

[lalikarl]

thats what the great masters did... to transcribe a master piece. good job!

[Cocklick88]

lol

[andrewlstephens]

Come on, you didn't play like any of the grace notes!!! You're killing me!!!

[byngrepresent]

you are retarded.

[FranzLiszt2]

thank you for that comment byngrepresemt

[FranzLiszt2]

I'm not sure about you. Oh well; 3/5 for trying

[KarrotKun1]

you are fast in slow parts (the drum roll) and slow in fast parts (the first chords) and why did you sacrifice notes on the piano part to play more orchestral notes (or, that is what i presume becuase parts were lacking the solo notes)... and some of the timing on the notes do not match what were intended for the score to sound like. This is not a solo show-off piece. It is lacking a very fundamental part: the orchestra.

[benjamingrossmann]

Great Transcription! Why is there not the end? 5/5 anyway!

[guldklimp]

you really play this exellent!

[mehrashk]

great

[spectrum3]

You are an excellent perfomer, but, Why didn't you play with the orchestra?.

[byngrepresent]

are you stupid or just stupid

[mannetiss]

amazing huh? i have been in his huse today and i have seen the graveyard too, and been on a much more amazing konsert than this.

[BiffTheUnderstudy]

What the interest of playing a concerto alone, swaping from the solo part to the orchestral reduction? I don't really see the point. There is a lot of amazing piece for piano from Grieg... Sounds a bit plain. I mean, as a student performance, it would be great idea, but in a professional concert?

[KJHoffman87]

simply amazing

[cziffra1980]

Sorry to be harsh, but the playing doesn't have much shape. The phrases need much more direction and contours, especially the simpler passages. It sounds very plain and level.

[Kate00089]

I have a piano duet version, so you could've probly used that

[billinrio]

Really excellent. Great idea to project an image of the keyboard behind the pianist. I´ve never seen that before.

[SensMan]

Would be nicer if you did not simplify certain passages....otherwise: nice enterprise to make it a 1-piano piece.

[raven1234]

This is really the first time for me to hear this concerto by piano itself, sweet!

[blueyoyi]

Wow !!! the music just flows out of Davids hands!!!

You inspire !!!

[benjive]

Wow thats amazing,actually i have just found a transcription of this song and i am willing to learn it,But i think its wrong,does it change key when the piano for orchestra part enters,because it doesnt soung right adding g sharps?

[mandaJt]

They should both be in the same key. See if you can transpose it.

[Kazo0ie09]

Wow, your concert was amazing I wish I could have been there!

[rebekahmiller]

Love this song!! You are very talented!! You play it so well!!

[dabiribd]

David, It's so nice of you to share this masterpiece with us. Your performance is awesome.

I hope one day I be able to play like you do...Love, Ben

[LousyPianist]

Amazing! I love this concerto...

[csfcom]

Thanx a lot I appreciate!
