Michael Nyman - The Heart Asks Pleasure First (fast)

[ShInOdARuLz]

AGHHHHH LOVE IT!!!!!!

[Omfgwhtavid]

Worst version I've ever heard.

[aylaerdogan]

I wish this was longer!!

[CSK225]

LOL! HOLY CRAP, BUDDY!

[LukasLessing]

Practicing one year long four hours a day... I'm now not really proud of my success. :D You're such an idol, Kyle!

[Suntaste92]

Best version of that song i can find on youtube! Awesome mr. Landry

[katieluvsmath95]

Does this remind anyone else of the Downton Abbey theme?

[Eluinn]

I LOVE THE ENDING!!! But this song just doesn't seem to work with the tempo you've got it at. This is my favorite composition of all time --not sure why, it's pretty simple honestly-- but with the speed-up just didn't fit the song. I'd love to see a completely altered, Landry-styled version though! ^_^

[Louisachuckmorris]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Although i have to agree, the beginning lost it's haunting melody through the incredible speed you were playing at :( But other than that, such an inspiration.

[SuperSugarBob]

I love the end! = D

[LeandroRV22]

piano orgasm

[TheMelleeeey]

love the ending

[TheMelleeeey]

braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavoooo­oooooooooooo

[ry2286]

sicccckkkkkk :-)

[wazitcj]

This version was requested by fans. He may have played it this way because he wanted to but also because he was asked to. I'm grateful that he wants to please his listeners. For those of you who think it's "too fast" or prefer the original version you have a choice. YouTube is littered with the original version, go knock yourselves out.

I guess its a human condition to complain more when privileged with more choices. I forget that sometimes, forgive me...I can be so oblivious...lol

[Theantmang]

You people who are complaining that it's to fast are idiotic. For one, read the title of the video.. Hence (Fast) . K, So stop complaining it's to fast. He wanted it this fast and he did it perfectly.

[keyveen63]

uhm ... You are amazing BUT you played it too fast !!! =/

[Armelas]

them nes controllers are awesome!

[Hendrikspan101]

@Armelas there SNES controllers lol

[Armelas]

@Hendrikspan101 your totally right what was i thinking!

[puppij93]

i performed a colorguard show to this song but i love your ending much better.and the way you played it faster just adds to the emotion of the song. thumbs up!

[napikul]

This song is amazing, I first heard it 6 years ago or so, and I love it. I also love that you covered it!!

[VampierXD]

I do proffer the song slower, but that is cool how quick you can play it ^_^. do you think you can do another cover except at normal speed, that would be amazing! =D

[tyroxi]

Awesome. The ending was perfect! :)

[Sambu111]

Found this in your channel. After seeing the total time (1.35) I just had to check the video. I didn't know it's possible to play it this fast. And my god, your not even looking at your hands. Your left hand jumps over an octave and still hits the right spots. Amazing, dude.

[Omfgwhtavid]

You seem like you're an alright player. Why go and ruin the fucking song? Why play it so fast? Are you trying to prove something or some shit?

[piano3479]

@Omfgwhtavid It's not ruined, I prefer it faster. He doesn't have to prove anything, look at Jenova or Those Who Fight. He prefers it faster, no need to insult it

[Omfgwhtavid]

@piano3479 Not insulting it. Playing it faster does nothing for the song. It seems like he is trying to show how fast he can play, which is the wrong way of doing things. Unless you're going for some sort of speed record of course.

[lecambel]

I can't play piano, but I think it's kinda too fast s:

[MonsieurWillB]

I've played this piece for a while now and wow... never saw that last bit coming :L great job!

[Sakuragal212]

First off...I hope you don't mind me asking, but how long have you been playing the piano?

Other than that, dude, where did you find this sheet music?!

[gymnasticsrocks0]

Like a boss.

[jaspers107]

I have seen this video maybe 30 times now and within the last 20 times watching this video I can't help but notice a very strange reflection he has in the picture right in front of him. I know it is his sleeve but it kinda looks like a face.

[Adurna150]

@jaspers107 So you know, I looked at it just now, I had never personally noticed it before, but in looking at it for a few seconds I deduced that it is a reflection of his sleeve. The reason it looks like a face is because of the wrinkles, and shadows. It gives the reflection depth and contrast since the shirt is white. :D

[playmovie696]

i wonder how can you play like this

[RainbowStripeySocks]

amazing! your an inspiration.

[CheekyVimto08]

I wonder how you feel about the harmonic simplicity of this pieces and others like it.

You seem to really know a lot about harmony - compositions have lots of interesting changes.

[CheekyVimto08]

@CheekyVimto08 your compositions*

[dbPAT]

Nintendo rocks ♥

[EVGENY814]

you are very fast but the many notes that make running jumps a little schoolboys!! slower and more 'passion as you play some songs. excuse my English.

[GuNStaRia]

@EVGENY814 По моему - слишком много понтов во время игры и нет чувственности....

Евгений)

[EvadeeDuBocal]

It's too fast...

[mengwmx]

Wow this is amazing! It took me soo long to practice so my hands would be in sync with the syncopation n all those random grouped notes...you just got it after a few run! WOW!

really inspiring. thanks!!!

[loveaiotsuka0923]

BRAVO~~~~

[13pianos122194]

Call me a nerd... but when I listened to this, my heart honestly started pounding and it took my breath away.

ps- I'm learning it now.

[earlysnow]

gorgeous!!!

[Daniel85144]

So awesoooooooome, that's perfect :D

[ifurita81]

Those SNES-controllers at the right looks like something i had when i was a kid. It's a box that looks like a controller but thicker. And inside (atleast in mine) there are figures from Streetfighter. ^^

[Linckmusic]

dat ending, ridiculous



[PianoMino]

Wow! Yes, that's really fast, but very good! Great!

[supergaybot]

what keyboard/piano is that?

[Fendertastic]

Michael Nyman is amazing, I think it would be awesome if you considered playing a few pieces from the film, "Man On Wire." The music in this film is so moving, to say the least.

-Alex

[liuliuluv68]

it sounds better faster, like the wind! :D

[chriskorea]

i think you have missed the boat this time....i did not feel the story this song is suppose to share and unravel is told at this speed...it should have haunting, desire, impulse jouyful nervousness and this is just fast moving fingers that have lost the melody....my first disappointment....sorry kyle ;(

[DimitrisGkelis]

yeah i too think it is faster than it should be and you'd have avoided the falses, but then the last part that you added to the main piece would be rather slow... still i think it's better slow...

[jarenrayel]

You look really genius in this video. ;)

[ds12z]

I keep coming back to this song, I just type in "Kyle Landry Pleasure."

[emoaxel151]

to fast so its lost its softness and meaning sorry to say

[johnzsongs]

.........speechless! 

[wazitcj]

!!! that was fantastic! hope it was somewhat enjoyable to play. Thanks for catering to the viewers when possible. -mcgubl

[benzagel]

I want the last page that you improved!

[GunShard]

I remember hearing this song 10 years ago from a movie. Nice to see you play thing amazing song.

[AsianPrideSir]

Listening to this put a smile on my face (: then I saw the SNES controllers on the bottom right of the screen and it put a bigger smile on my face (]:

[MnMFreeStyle]

YES KYLE JUST FUCKING YES I LOVE THIS SONG I LOVEYOU!!!!!!

[xxAstraeaxx]

I LOVE this piece! Can play it with my eyes closed! Was only a matter of time before you did it too.... great playing, even if a little too manic ;)

[shhddv11]

Grab your fingers from the floor, i saw two of them run away. You r a real monster kyle, Congrats'. Always the same intensity, same passion in your play, that deserves respect. From 1:13 till the end... EPIC

[SammieeSaysRawrr]

@kylelandry I play this also, but never can create the smooth, perfectly dynamiced sound you have achieved. Any pointers?

[workskillscozens]

You actually make me want to learn my scales and I HATE SCALES !

[workskillscozens]

The ending is EPIC !

[MrStevemyname]

Beautiful!

[D1ndo]

LOL, only now I realized, that the whole thing is ONLY in A minor... not really a description of a difficult piece....

[Chaltje]

i don't like it.. so hasty... and hasty is something else then tempo.. tempo doesn't matters if the person plays with real emotions.. but hasty is like you need to hurry for a train or something.. u should bring the piece more in balance if u want to play it fast.. but your arent a bad pianist! i like your vids! You're very creative;)

[herzklang]

thumbs up for snes controller on the right! :D

[KleinZaffre]

welp... just never stops huh!

[patolorde]

So why do you look at the sheet ,you actually can read at this speed?

[kylelandry]

@patolorde Yeah I can when I know the piece in my head, and have played it a few times.

KL

[benzagel]

@patolorde You are saying the son of God can't read notes that fast? dont insult him!

[herzklang]

I just love you for playing this. That's too awesome.

[Kahori14]

OMG!

N64 joysticks on the right side :D

[squidis]

@Kahori14 that is not N64... SNES

[magik603]

@Kahori14 HAHA it's SNES

N64 pads are funny and big.

[HowlDono]

Wow!!!!!

[richichi09]

very nice

[Twig182]

i just got goose bumps! and i can't stop listening to this over and over again! thank you so much! :)

[elise620]

Your left hand is a beast! Love it.

[DarkLaslot]

fast

[davidle888]

I just wish I can be able to play something like this one day QQ It's very beautiful to hear your work in such fine quality, truly perfection!

[Einfrein]

DAMN!

[aidencurl]

Meh average as usual...................

[TheFunGiver]

11 people don't have a heart

[IIIIIACEIIIII]

It was very cool to hear this done quickly.

By the way Kyle your hair and beard is nice, just sayin'.

[CiZination]

You can tell when Kyle starts improvising. It suddenly goes from "fast & easy" to "THE HELL IS THIS ?!?"

[ytschlittk]

im suuuuure you could just turn the pages during this piece

why the need to have them all spread out like that? :P

[kylelandry]

@ytschlittk The notes never stop, there is literally no place to turn...

[ytschlittk]

@kylelandry that totally is clear from watching the video. Sorry my original post was supposed to be a joke. Page turning would be impossible. :) You're my piano idol!

[jdgordon01]

@kylelandry Haha I'm playing this for my AMEB piano exam. I sympathise with you about the page turns :P There is literally not a single rest in this piece, and there's a hell of a lot of notes for 28 bars.. I'm impressed that you managed to still play it so musically at that speed. I like it this fast actually.

[sodaxcandy08]

@ytschlittk sarcasm fail

[xkristixx]

Every piece you play is simply phenomenal and extremely pleasing to my ears. How long do you have to practice these pieces (excluding your improvisations) before you're comfortable filming them?

[bimjales]

Just awesome!!

[elfa1404821]

hey!!!! i don't know if you recieved my email but i just asked you to play this song, and even if you didn't do it because of my suggestion i want to say to you THANKS...it's fantastic...i hope to do it well at my first performance in june ^^

[SjekkieSjakie]

wish i could listen to this for hours, not for less than 2 minutes..

[true2ism]

i like how you jump at the end :)

[BeyKex]

Is that a SNES pad? :D

[TheWinterApples]

I think it's a bit hurried, but you're very good. Nice performance~

[scarletsafire]

Honesty. I think I'm in love. :D

[Oturan219]

i love how you still tag kyle556, it's like it's still there.

[himez123]

This is so good

[xJessG]

omg! that is insane! :O

[aylaerdogan]

I had to keep replaying this. Unbelieveable. Thank you.

[RaySe7en]

I see two SNES controllers. That's not stuff we see everyday, well not anymore. lol

Btw, great performance, as always. ;p

[ferenkjaffet]

kyle u r amaziing.. thiis is the best cover i see of this song..

[stae1234]

I read the Nyman as Nyanman......too much nyancats... (can you play that? lol)

[D1ndo]

HEY! I want to place 5 sheets in front of me too :D You just rested it on your wall?

[kylelandry]

@D1ndo Yeah I put a folder behind the speaker so it would stay up, and shoved the sheet in between the folder and the speaker.

[NicolasNeault]

@kylelandry Hey Kyle I love your music you're really talented, I'd like to get your opinion on technique exercises book such as Hanon's or Czerny's. I'm a beginner do you think they are helpful/harmful? I've seen you have some of these in background on some videos.

[matlodej]

insane speed, and I really liked the part you added at the end

[GrandpaMosh]

People keep saying you play this too fast, but let's face it Nyman himself plays it faster then the original score. But to be honest I think along with it's ending, I find the fast tempo to be a compliment to the piece. Just shows how versatile this song is, considering that is sounds brilliant either way.

[frsupermoon]

You know you're a f*ckin beast on the piano when you can play that fast & awesome, all the while keeping your eyes focused on the sheet music without having to look down at your fingers, & without messing up. And here I am trying to play twinkle twinkle little star on my 12 year old keyboard cause I can't afford lessons.T_T You demotivate me but in a good way. I wanna get filthy rich just so I can hire you to play for me in person and buy you whatever piano you wanted. You are my role model.

[JaeChoi94]

I dont think this song was meant to be played fast, I mean you did really well and all but I think the point of this song is to go slow and let the song touch the souls of the listeners :)

[bluexmoonxmusic]

whoa, this is a really fast version!!!

[superfox1080]

I noticed you have kind of a funny expression in this. XD

[mathewdelamere]

i like all your videos but this one. i think you played it to fast it lost some of it's charm i'd love to see anther recording of it a bit slower

[aidencurl]

holy fucking shit.....

[CJCymru]

AWESOME! I requested you to play this song in the comments on your profile about 2 weeks ago. I'm very glad you did it!

[Kisarez]

Ah, those SNES controllers.. :)

[etneji]

you make it look so easy :(

i have a lot of problems with this particular piece, but i so wanna learn it!

well done

[piano361]

why< did you play it fast ? qwäähhh

[Godzdeal]

My favorite piano player playing my favorite piano song! I can now die happy :P

[KabkoubProductions]

i always wanted to know the name of this piece!!! thanks :)

[themasterbower]

I ve listened to this like ten times since you put it up, lawl.

[TheSosophie]

i love you're playing

[messirvoland14]

The Piano - is my favorite movie, Michael Nyman - favorite modern composer. Thank you for your interpretation, it's really great!

[SimonMusicX]

Hey Kyle (:

please look at my video of PASSION (and comment). It would mean a lot to me! :)

Thank you for your music! You are my model (:

Love from Germany,

Simon

[DackxJaniels]

Finally! I requested this a year ago!

Though I understand that's NOT why you covered it now, I thank you!

[Billyboy191]

Q puta barbaridad...

[dickdickdoo]

How long do you practice for a piece like this ?

[kylelandry]

@dickdickdoo I have played through it a few times in the past and I know what it sounds like, so it I just pulled it out and started recording until I got an adequate recording. It took about an hour.

[Twrlare]

Wow, I definitely didn't expect to hear this song! I am positively surprised and impressed!

[fierypiano]

Now that's what I call sight-reading!

[iLaugh1ng]

Yeah.. sorry Kyle, but Chuck Norris wants his fingers back.

[CodexVII]

When Kyle says fast on a title, it's never exaggerated.

[Jacobo120792]

I was wondering if you'll ever do one of Wim Mertens songs?

[GmasterRED]

Zing! Short and with spice. I like it.

[hununuisnoob]

are you sight readinG? hahahaah

[ShuyinTheOne]

your sight reading skills are just amazing ;_;

[Natkristelp]

You've inspired me to try and learn the song once again. Tried a year back, wasn't able to finish it. The ending is perfect, great job :)

[BushiSeven]

I'm not familiar with this piece but how much did you actually improv in this? Or did you just speed it up and add something at the end?

[kylelandry]

@BushiSeven I added something to the end.

[OoSpotoO]

Incredible! You're one of my favourite pianists, alongside Chopin :)

[EnGrapefrugt]

Kyle, this was fantastic. I would love to hear you play I Giorni.

[butterz1229]

great work kyle............. i aspire. wish my left hands were at least 1/4 the speed of yours

[MrFadiPianist]

Ahhhhhh Kyle Kyle..

We should meet sometimes :(

[Klik2103]

Wonderful movie, amazing song. I love it. I can play it too, but I don't have piano now. :(

[TheGuitarted]

I've been waiting for this :D

[03chibi03]

i can't play as well as you, but i've learnt this song - it makes my pinky fingers hurt >< neways i love it and ur interpretation, great work!!

[bibbisbibbis]

Oh I love this song!

I would love it if you played the WHOLE song, but maybe a little slower^^

[phoenixkh93]

Yeah awesome :) I was looking forward to the crazy mad improv skills kicking in about half way through and you didn't disappoint. This was actually the peice that made me want to learn piano in the first place so its fairly special to me :)

[cbp33]

Hey Kyle! You're the fuckin' man. That is all.

[ozkebic]

you are my inspiration kyle 

[Khara57]

Awesome!!

[Flakit0Lok0]

NICE ENDING!!! :D

[dhcrazy333]

For half the video you didn't look at your hands. I am jealous of your piano key awareness.

[TheOpposedMan]

amazing, as always and always and always..

[omgthegamer]

your head bobbing totally made this video haha

[gamerlayne]

you should play rhapsody in blue

[yuyangchee98]

play the spongebob fun song pleaseeee :D

[samgoingnuts]

@yuyangchee98 dont be a dumbass.
