  • Just a quick question, Could you possibly play 'no matter what' by boyzone, i think your quite frankly im pressive style would really do it justice

    Many thanks,

    David

  • @DKerr94 That's a great suggestion - I've played it in the past but not recorded it yet - perhaps I shall soon - thank you for the suggestion! Jon

  • Goosebumps and a lump in my throat from start to finish.

  • Gave me goosebumps listening to this rendition. It's a long time since a piano piece has done that for me.

  • @profitleads isn't it great how music can do that to you..? 'Glad you're enjoying my music so much. Jon.

  • @JonEngland Thank you so much sir. I am indeed enjoying the music, but it's your personal rendition that makes the difference; I can promise you that.

  • this bought tears to my eyes... simply beautiful

  • @laughingallthetime8D It is a great tune, isn't it? It never loses it's magic. Thank you - Jon

  • I wish the rest of the music was a bit quieter cause the piano gets lost in it a bit.

  • @SlippinPegs interesting observation - I've not heard that before... I'll bear it in mind. Thank you - Jon

  • thank you - it certainly is a great tune to 'play' with. Jon

  • Can u teach how to play it?

  • practically speaking - I don't know how to do that.... you see, I cannot (do not) read any music, so I'm not really sure of exactly what I'm doing - so it would be a little difficult to show anyone else! sorry. I guess, just "watch my hands", would be the best way... jonengland com

  • perfect no other word to say but perfect

  • Can u do sheet music??

  • sorry, I can not read music so I do NOT have the sheet! best wishes.

  • @JonEngland And thats even awesome.... playing by ear is an art and ure relaxed way of playing is awesome.....

  • Time spent watching and listening to you play are worthwhile to say the least. Wow.

  • thank you - please share this video/music with all those whom you know and care about visit jonengland com for more information. Jon

  • supeeeer

  • haha i love this song, it's funny how the melody is so simple but he just kinda adds so much more to it! it's beautiful!!!

  • I come here time to time and enjoy it :) Thank you :)

  • I would buy your album... Jon

  • then please go to jonengland com and you'll find all of my recordings there! thanks - Jon

  • very relaxing, thanks Jon!

  • Great stuff Jon. Very moving arrangement. I love the improvisations you add here and there. Are you inspired by Liberace by any chance? :)

    Also, I like the mellow sound of your pianos. May I ask what is the full brand name of the piano? I remember you mentioning somewhere that it's a Yamaha but it doesn't have the distinct bright Yamaha sound.

    Cheers and keep up your inspiring work!

    Samer

  • Thank you very much for your appreciative and perceptive observations! Liberace certainly is/was one of my favourite piano performers; his technique was brilliant and hugely popular; Carmen Cavallaro was also very influential in the development of my 'style'.

    The pianos (both this one, and the 'white' one featured in other videos) are Yamahas. I prefer the lightness of touch for which they're famed (versus the European 'giants' Bosendorfer and Steinways etc).

    Once again - thanks!

  • No problem. It's very rare to find pianists who have such "clean" technique if I may call it. It does come from experience of playing many songs rather than "practice" doesn't it? I myself also play piano by ear, cannot read a single note and was never taught like yourself so I realize that that observation kind of applies :)

    Anyway, I'm actually surprised that a Yamaha can produce such a beautiful not too bright sound. Do you know the exact Yamaha model name? (ex, Yamaha C6 Concert Grand)

  • liberace is my fav, but know your up there two, good luck with ya bud!

    do you have C.D.-s

  • Yes I do have CDs - go to my website jonengland com and you'll see all the recordings I've made. thanks for your comment and interest! Jon

  • u r killing me with ur perfection

  • Thank you 'faezpotter' - I think...?!

  • waaaaooooww .....

    that was the expression i got after hearing ....seeing this video...

    you have taken a beautiful song...and garnished it with your own elegance..touch..finesse and made it even more beautiful...

    i wish i could play like that.. i play a bit of piano ..but not like you :) ..you have become my inspiration..

    i see the videos of other piano players to get inspired...and you are one of them now...

  • this is the best arrangement i can see on you tube.many thanks for you playing.for those who are curious feel free to see my version on my channel.

  • WONDERFUL SIMPLY WONDERFUL, tenderly musical. Congratulations!

  • I come to this page time to time and listen to it again and again :) Thanks to wonderful magical hands :)

  • Spectacular.

  • Thank you for your much appreciated comments and reviews - I'm so glad you enjoy this wonderful tune.

    Jon

  • Out of the world.. wow..

  • wow.. a very different version..

  • fabuloso, otimo pianista.

  • outstanding

  • nicely done thought was brilliant lena in nc

  • wow you are absolutly brilliant!! i love your music! but, no offence i think your arrangement of the song has too many bells and whistles i thought the music was brilliant as it was without anything fancy added too it. but, you are still a brilliant musician no doubt about that.

  • I was thinking about that, asking myself if maybe all the chords turned into rolls made the music too busy. I certainly think it's not really true to the original piece. Nevertheless, i think if you judge his interpretation without trying to compare, it is truly amazing. If you would allow me a small comparison. Mr. England reminds me somewhat of Kenny G... He often gets criticized for making his stuff too busy as well, but i don't care. It's still awesome music, and i personally love the rolls.

  • Magic Jon. You are fabulous. I saved this one in my future projects folder too.

    In tune

    lalita

  • It's simple, he is happy!!!

  • i don't know why you smile when you play song so sad like this... :\ however you are a good pianist... and, yes... my grandfather was a flipper... XD

    anyone who wants to be a profecinal piano player this is a person to inspire you!

  • WOW! RWB

  • mindblowing! i love it!

  • WOW!!! That was so beautiful and breathless as you play....

  • people said that if u noe how to play piano means ur romantik...!

    haha..i tink u r!

  • Well... you feel what you play :]

    I play piano too... but can't play this song as well as you..

    Thank You :)

  • aight erm...well this was really quite good, however i agree with Mehdi and i think it is rather overloaded and the main melody as slightly lost. I could never play like that in the first place but thats my opinion. nice vid

  • Mesmerizing; I honestly have no words. Superb playing. I just wished I could find the score of that...

  • you're just awesome!even my skills of improvisation on this song is not up to your standard!i just love it!

  • great great great fantastic i love this and " LOVE STORY" you are fantastic

  • Very nice. Love it!

  • I agree that this is marvelous. anyway I can't do it. but I think it's a little bit overloaded, surcharged.. the main melody were lost..

  • just so moving and heart felt...i have never heard anything this spectacular

  • my god, it's like he's playing on water. I think it's a comibnation of strong fingers and an excellant piano.

  • I play the piano myself, I look up to you!I realy do! I see you're enjoying every note you're playing, I like the way you give the songs more colors. You're AMAZING!!!

    I can only dream about playing so good as you.

  • I'm greatly flattered - thank you for your kind comments and observations. I'm sure that when you reach the pinnacle of your own talent - players and audiences everywhere will look up to you too, but for now, keep looking 'down' (at the keyboard!) and the admiration for what you do will surely come - thank you again.

  • Jon, when I found this video I was distraught and very depressed. Thanks for bringing the joy back into my life! Thanks for foe lifting me up!

  • i'm realated too him.

    he's my grandma's cousin's son

  • Nice work, Jon.

    i would like to listen to your "Entertainer", when will you upload it to here? I like that song so much.

  • bloody hell i play this on my accordion but youre emotion is beyond anything

  • hi jon. me again. lol. youre very great. th emoment i heard your piece, seemed like i was taken into a different dimension. you are very good in involving your audience to the music you play. keep playing. much love

  • bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooo

  • So much feeling and love in 1 song played by 1 man...

    Simply beautiful!I'm speechless man!

    It made me tear!

  • magnificient... this simply song is transformed into a masterpiece with so much depth and feeling. the way you play reminds me of the flutter of a butterfly, intricate yet graceful and light. you sir are the master... and i salute you ...

  • Wow - you are VERY kind and generous with your compliments - I always try to perform a melody as if it's being sung with the words - perhaps this is why it 'connected' with you..?

    Kind regards - Jon.

  • seeding hours and hours of practice..

    this is the result, beautifull...!

  • Lovely work, Jon.

    I just wanted to say, I'm listening to your "Gentlemen of Jazz" CD as I type this comment...(recorded with my dear friend and mentor, Jack Pindell). Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to hear your beautiful piano work along with Jack's wonderful trombone. He spoke so highly of you as a pianist and as a person...I had to come here to see if you had anything on youtube. Sure enough...here you are.

    Thanks again for a beautiful listening experience!

  • Thank you CooolJazzz - Jack is an inspiration to so many yet too modest to acknowledge it ... he is unique and a gift to humanity. 'Glad you're enjoying the music!

  • Wow you play this so nice !!

  • wow I thought your modified Chopin was amazing...this is even better. I'm seriously considering that DVD

  • This man is not only gifted but he presents a superb visual presentation. No sheet music, embellishes as he plays and even turns away from keyboard without missing a note! He makes it look so easy, I get the feeling he can even read the newspaper while playing!

  • I can hear the love in the way you play.

    I just want to hear more and more...

    ...I'm just... speechless...

    Mesmerizing...

  • well Linnyzito - please check out my full length movie "Royally Entertained" at my web-site (Google Jon England) - it has 80+ minutes of music like this!

  • Wonderful!

    You play so beautiful!

    You're skills are amazing and you play the piano with very much passion.

    You inspire the rest of us to practise the piano even more.

    Thank you!

  • Well PoyaMusician - thank YOU for your kind compliments. Piano gives such magic, doesn't it?

  • It really does.

    This is honestly one of the best things I have ever heard.

    I'll check out your website now, and I you will continue posting videos.

    I'm a big fan =)

  • Lost a word there :P

    ...and I hope you will continue posting videos.
