Isao Horikoshi playing Emerson Lake and Palmer Trilogy

[cforanify]

The skill is amazing and something that is to be applauded. You just need to slow it down a bit and 'feel' it. It sounds like you are just trying to get through it. It is great but slow it down! FEEL it! Great job!!!

[Tony07UK]

Sounds awful! Listen to the original. Too heavy handed - too much thumping. This piece requires a much better touch and an understanding of timing, and rhythm.

[QuestingElf]

My 2 favorite parts of Isao's captivating rendition are:

1 - the ascent at 2:18, followed by the descent at 2:23 into a fully piano supported vamp

2 - the ending to it all at 6:05 with an interesting left-hand tremolo to then conclude it on a solid B-flat

Somehow, you leave me yearning for more. If it could segue into one next tune, I propose an interesting blues tune by Ben Sidran done live also in B-flat named "Last Dance." It says something about we're here today, tomorrow, I don't know.

[noddyspuncture]

Well done..;c)

[thrashmetalkills]

I'll admit I was a little disappointed because I was hoping you were going to play that right hand stuff on a moog, but still that was beautiful. Great job!!

[114okada029091]

心から入ってる、だから上手いんだよ

[Moonmaiden61]

Just amazing. You have an amazing talent there and have done ELP proud. :o)

[RodgerBMusic]

Stunning rendition....

[cheezeontoast4]

[MasiaBox]

[brianedmunds]

Good Job. I used to be able to play this piece and have now completely forgotten it. Youtube was not around at the time. I plan to put the "Three Fates" on soon.

That was outstanding, goosebumps!

[pastorjoebarlow]

Very well done! I was in high school when I got turned on to ELP, I was amazed. I learned to play piano by learning this song one measure at a time, it took me all summer. I can tell you did not use the sheet music to learn this which is an even greater testament to your ability. Well done.

[Turrbine]

I watch this video all the time. You are truly gifted!

[Topographer]

Very good. What a masterpeice.

[ziearmo]

This is outstanding. It's one of my favourite pieces and one of Emersons finest. Brilliant!....Btw does anyone know if the piano opening is available on sheet music?

[Cereghini]

Holy crap! You can PLAY IT?! Good for you! This piece is one of my all time favourites, but GOD it's complicated!

[sharktoothdiver]

Dude, very nice, but slow the heck down!

[DiegoLZ]

Very good job, but I was wondering, why is prog rock so big in Japan?

[Mrh2ovac]

A litle bit to fast, i mean the original is 8:53 min and you done this in 6:31 ^^Dont take it to hard.

[ojfeooigtihbg]

[amsterdamusall]

BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bilden1]

absolutley awesome!

[CrocksManfred]

Absolutely Top!

the composer (Emerson) and the player (Horikoshi).

Why don't we have such Rock-composition anymore?

[paghob]

Emerson Lake and Palmer are the FOUNDING FATHERS of electro synth moog music. Something the young generation may not be aware of. They PRECEDED people like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, OMD etc. (80s electro music bands) And Trilogy is one of those milestone albums in rock history which has the same status as say The Song Remains the Same, Dark Side of the Moon, Yes Album, Deep Purple in Rock etc.etc. but is so little known today. Hope more people find out about Trilogy and Pictures at an Exhibition.

[magneteye]

This song is one of 'greatest... so powerful! You can tell even here with out vocal, guitar, etc how amazing it is!

[dgentils]

Holy Cow, Keith Emerson is one of the hardest guys to duplicate, You nailed it, Spot On... Cheers...

[Fripp960]

bravissimo ! dove si trovano le partiture di queste cose?

[paghob]

Bravo Isao Bravo!!! - Now this is what you call talent. I was very young when this music was first about. It is good to see that there are people of today's young generation who recognise the difference between today's boy bands and great compositions!!! Well done Isao son.
