Wibi Soerjadi: 'The Battle', from The Gladiator - Live at Concertgebouw Amsterdam 2007

[RoyalDog214]

Haha imagine someone playing this at church. That would be insane!

[LidkaxD123]

That was just amazing !

♥



[Aivilo326111]

(⊙▂⊙).....That was ah....WOW. My mind is blown...

[DivingNL]

I have been to this concert, he is a totally awesome piano player. I respect him so much, Wibi, you´re great.

[NarcoS1S]

Holy Shit... thats all I can say.

[RaMMeRaaR]

I am sorry for my bad english.

[ShuraaNL]

replayed this song 5 times in 1.5 hour hehehe pure awesomeness

[Brulluhman]

/watch?v=hLKXD_Ar5CM&feature=r­esults_main&playnext=1&list=PL­4F5F4FBF34F6F7D1

Ik vraag me af of hij wel eens met Janine Jansen heeft gespeeld. Het Noord Nederlands Orkest (beste orkest ter wereld) oefend altijd naast m'n deur. Het zou wel leuk zijn om hen vrijdag/zaterdag ook te horen oefenen.

[Brulluhman]

Wibi is net zo als Janine de goudmijnen van de Nederlandse klassieke toppers.

[quizmast]

The amount of black ink that would be needed to print off his transcriptions...

[CroweDharma]

Just love 5:13

[funnyvideosforlive]

I SAW THIS LIVE!

it was amazing.

too bad it was late.

I fell asleep at about 50% of the song.

Was that me being sleepy, or was it the power of the song?

let's put it on 50-50.

I'm a kid ;)

[ShuraaNL]

@funnyvideosforlive how can you fall asleep during this song!!! cant believe it!!! :p

[DamageIncM]

@funnyvideosforlive

Music and being tired doesn't go together.

If you love music (or anything else), it uses your energy, so it will drain you when you're tired.

I'm not a kid, but I'm a musician, and music is also very "tiresome" to me, it's very physical so yeah...

[RaMMeRaaR]

@DamageIncM but thats your point of view.(the opinion of a musician) i also tend to fall asleep to classical music. most people think thats an offend to the composer, but i think otherwise... im a very restless person and when i listen to single piano(or classical music in general) i ease a bit. the pressure just flows away... thats why i fall asleep.i think it is a real compliment to a composer if people fall asleep during a piece. (but i do understand it is difficult for the composer/musician)

[DamageIncM]

@RaMMeRaaR

Oh, yeah, but I just meant to say to the poster that it's OK that he/she was sleepy... you know. :P

[AJ99639]

his hands... LOOK AT HIS HANDS ARGHHHHHH

[kardentyrell]

@AJ99639 HANDS? WHAT HANDS!...It's a BLUR! xD

[francis363]

Prokofiev xD JEJE aMAZING!!!!

[menbeer1]

lol tutorial hahahaaha

you need atleast 10 hands to do this

[Nurulbek]

pls. tutorial ! )))))

[Secondlifecreator]

@Nurulbek

Not to be rude but Wibi is one of the best players you can imagine on a grand piano. I do not think many ppl can play this like he does. I think you google it tho godluck youll need it.

[Nurulbek]

@Secondlifecreator

I have simply joked, thanks you for explanations ))

очень признателен вам )

[erikv1993]

wanneer zijn er weer concerten van wibi in ned.??

[ThunderDonkey]

@erikv1993 iig 4 maart in Orpheus in apeldoorn, ga ik sowieso naartoe :)

[UndefinedParameter]

so far, 2 cowards will never be in Elysium.

[AnnemarieLief]

Ik ga zondag 9 januari naar wibi. ik heb er nu al zin in!

[iPlayPiiano]

Concert vandaag was gaaaaaaf!

Hij speelde dit ook weer, echt geniaal gewoon.

[JudgementRyu999]

ik ben blij dat ik naar zijn mini concert in zijn 'huis' ben geweest. tis een tijdje geleden maaar was zoooo goed was gelukkig net voor hij last van zn gehoor had :/

[funnyvideosforlive]

yeah was gisteren bij zn concert in dok18.

toen speelde hij dit ook.

echt geniaal.

echt een aanrader om naar zijn concerten te gaan.

in het echt is het nog veel mooier.

[homelessgenius]

Wow!!! This performance is one of the greatest I have seen... He is playing the music of an entile Orchestra by himself using only two hands on the piano!!! That is incredible.. and it sounds so similar to the original soundtrack.. The amount of detail in this track is almost note perfect. I am fan of the original tune and the movie, and I know every note and he's played it perfectly. I would love to learn to play the piano like this myself one day.

[sampagiet]

I just noticed.. @ 2:40 you hear someone cough lolx and who the heck voted thumbs down??

[Desmin16]

Wat een heerlijke muziek is dit toch! Wibi Soerjadi speelt deze dit jaar als laatste bij zijn kerst concert... Ik heb twee kaartjes gekocht en ik raad alle andere mensen die dit filmpje kijken aan het zelfde te doen!! veel luisterplezier gewenst!

[iPlayPiiano]

@Desmin16 He daar ga ik ook heen! Ik hoop dat het net zo mooi wordt als komende jaren.. :D

[motofretino]

boy o man? 

[IeneMieneMutte10]

Bravo!

Love the way he "composed" a piece of the soundtrack of Pirates of Carribean into this transcription (5:17).

Wibi is not the best concert pianist, but I have to give him Bravo for his incredible technique.

Greetings from Amsterdam.

[arskeeno]

@IeneMieneMutte10

actually the pirates music was composed using this song as a basis for it, listen to the two originals next to each other and you'll hear it, hans zimmer had a hand in the music composition of pirates although he is not credited for his work on the movie ;-), nice catch though, most people miss it.

[Joudyxlove]

@IeneMieneMutte10

Hey, actually that´s the Gladiator as well, but the music of both Gladiator and Pirates is composed by Hans Zimmer, so it sounds similiar, but it isn´t exactly the same :)

[aslanov]

the orchestras on youtube play it worse than this wonderful man; just great.

[emin777]

5:16 - 5:42 superb

[r0ward]

@emin777

epic

[1MarcusTulliusCicero]

fantastic!!!

[TomAhsRF]

AAHHUSCH!!!! I think if I would play this I won't be able to use my fingers for 2 weeks because they hurt so much XD

[james07044]

Can I get this music sheet? it's great song i ever heard

[ytfarmer90]

3:00 is amazing. just wish i heard more of that melody

[sucrilhus]

clapclapclap!

That's definitely the work of a master! ... or should I say... masters? ^^

Zimmer's composition played by the hands of Wibi... That's Jackpot for sure in my book!

Favorited!!

[meOisOme]

totaly agree!

[Sammerick]

03:45 - 04:00 Extremely isane!!

[1217ryszka]

0 - 7:37 insane lol

[joeyka12]

@1217ryszka what about the last second?

[joeyka12]

@1217ryszka what about the last second?

[saartjuh15]

ik ben afgelopen jaar ook nog naar een concert van hem geweest toen was hij net hersteld en was weer zijn eerste concert. maar hij was geweldig en heb erg genoten!

[leorufato]

the sound of this piano is the most beautifull i alredy heard in my life...

[basjeee90]

Dit is briljant!

[Maxobillion]

This is an amazing transcription. I just wish there were some close ups so we can truly appreciate the magic his fingers are creating!

[sampagiet]

wow, zou dit graag live gezien willen hebben!

[jvstin19]

3:25 to 3:30 wóóóåááåw

[TimeSpiraling]

Hard to imagine the term virtuoso being an understatement ... dear god!

Wibi clearly has an excellent 'vision' for this theme's deeper meanings.

Be peaceful on your way,

Time_Spiraling

[jvstin19]

He just plays music that need to be played by 2 people/4 hands, on his own, with just 2 hands.

[schnepman1993]

heeft iemand de bladmuziek hiervan? Ik zou het graag willen hebben.... (A)

[kneusjee]

Alsof jij dit kan spelen..

[Kryptonytte]

Of je het zou kunnen spelen is een ander verhaal.

[schnepman1993]

nee vast niet.. hooguit de eerste accorden...

zullen vast maar paar mensen op de wereld kunnen XD

[FX529]

The best of that is, that even TWO skilled piano players couldn't even play what he plays on his own!

[Sammerick]

Eddopianist, werk jij bij huize Wibi?

mvg

Sam

[jetibest]

hmm, ik had et al gezien bij he's a pirate, mooi vid was dat:-)

maar, hoe leer je zoiets, ik heb op internet gezocht naar zoiets, maar kon werkelijk niets vinden. Is er niet een speciale naam voor?

[underverser]

Creativiteit is het magische woord ;)

Breng je creativiteit naar de realiteit... Zo heb ik piano leren spelen... ;)

[jetibest]

pianospelen kan ik, ik bedoelde, die 4-handen techniek.. kan er niets van vinden op internet =P

en ik heb wel geprobeerd en wat geexperimenteerd, maar het lukt niet echt..

en uhm voor de duidelijkheid, ik heb alleen vroeger de basisbeginselen (c,d,e etc) geleerd op zo'n klein keyboardje : P

[her0esfan]

What's a 4 hand technique?

[redklo]

he plays a piece that is supposed to be for 2 people

2 people= 4 hands

get it

[Analist]

Vlgs mij past hij egt 80 x in die piano

[skrie]

Geweldig !

[danoli3]

Bevreemdend!!

[skrie]

Those online generators made gibberish of whatever you wanted to say :P

[BelegHeronion]

I now officially SUCK at piano....I will forever suck! HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THAT GOOD!? HOW?!?!??!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!?!??! ITS JUST NOT FAIR!

[petercarel]

AMAZING!!! what a tremendous technique!! this transcription is even better then the famous opera transcriptions of franz liszt! impressive and I love it!!!

[Sammerick]

03:40 = AMAZING

[DivingCode]

Wow !!

[JelleB23]

Absolutely amazing!

[xrayPL]

OMG!! what he's doing with this piano!! amazing!! 5/5!!

[zendium91]

This is really cool! I was there when he played this.

[RobertDoormanNL]

[rachmaninovlover]

Never heard such an incredible performance before!!Awesome sound and technical perfection!!Absolutely beautifully performed!!!IMO one of the best transcriptions ever written and performed.
