What a wonderful rendition.

[nihilihihi]

Very relaxing video... So pure sound of the piano...

[eugeneportman]

@nihilihihi Many thanks for the comment. The sound was achieved by using a Yamaha P155 digital piano and quite simply recording directly onto a digital recorder. Having been to your site and heard your amazing playing I gather that you use a similar technique but with a different instrument. I really enjoyed looking around your channel. I've subscribed to you so I'll be back for more.

[eugeneportman]

@qingpiano I've visited your site and love your 'Piano Sonata in F#'. Also, many thanks for your kind comment about my playing.

[ThePreciousguitar87]

Love your playing, perfect for a relaxed sunday morning!

[eugeneportman]

@ThePreciousguitar87 Thanks for the comment. My own Sunday mornings are seldom relaxed but as long as I'm helping someone else relax - I'm happy.

[eugeneportman]

@remoods Thanks for the comment. I do find it difficult to relax when I'm being recorded. I really have to make an effort to forget about what's going on around me, and let the music carry me..

[EffortsatImprov]

I enjoyed your chord substitutions, nice version.

[floooflop]

awesome! :)

[eugeneportman]

@floooflop Thanks for dropping by and listening

[mikeporterward]

Wonderful! You have substituted really rich chords and it is so beautifully played. I wouldn't mind a copy of the arrangement if that is at all possible.

[eugeneportman]

@mikeporterward Thanks for your comment. I know you like "Pure Imagination" so I'll do my best to send you a chord chart. I did write out the chords and a rough idea of the arrangement but unfortunately I've lost the file. I'll try and write it out again soon and send you a copy.

[aliceharveyuk]

This is so lovely! "Pure Imagination" is such a beautiful song and you play it so sensitively. You really capture it's dream like quality.

[eugeneportman]

@aliceharveyuk Thank you Alice. Your comment is much appreciated.

[stratus51]

Wow Fantastic!! Loved it

[markjudas100]

A chord chart would be amazing if its possible to send me one it would be greatly appreciated!

[markjudas100]

Absolutley amazing arrangement, any chance of getting my hands on it?

[eugeneportman]

@markjudas100 Many thanks for your kind comment. Unfortunately it is not a written arrangement so I can't really send you the dots. However, I could easily write out a chord chart of the chords that I use in the recording. I also have a scan of the sheet music which I could email to you and you could try using my chords with the written melody. Just let me know if this helps.

Regards

Eugene

[eugeneportman]

Thanks for your kind comment. It is a great song with a strong melody and I think that it plays itself really. It's very difficult to play a song like this badly.

[EdBallMusic]

This is absolutely beautiful, and a really full sounding arrangement. I first became aware of it on an advert too, Sky HD I think. (p.s. thank you for the comment on my channel!)
