[JamalCorrie]

absolutely mesmerizing

[yidaki]

I saw this guy on the London Underground busking and stood watching him for 10 mins, missed so many of my trains - and i was really late. He's mesmerising and incredible!

[ArtistWoOoOo]

wow i enjoyed it!!!Thank you!

[renaissanceman165]

I read in another post that Larry Adler composed the piece Waltz Genevieve.

[renaissanceman165]

I read in another post that Larry Adler composed this piece.

[Gamla123]

excellent performance.

Can anyone give some background on the composer?

[mariela45645]

your the number one

HARMONICA PLAYER!

[bugera1962]

божественно!!!!!!

[TuboEspectador]

I have never heard of this guy, Achille, but it sounds like he has taken on somewhat the golden sound of Larry Adler or Leo Diamond. Who was Achille's harmonica teacher? What is his background? I really enjoy this!

[stroke4711]

@TuboEspectador I believe that

Philip's teacher was Bill Hughes.

[DrSpamMD]

like if you got here from Robert Crompton in the Times!

[lovepillowtalk]

Well done! That was amazing!!! Crazy eyes!

[arpalatina]

Hey Philip! you made me almost cry!... fantastic!!! hope to see you soon again somewhere into the underground!. Diego Rojas (harpist)

[gzus4eva]

WOW!!! That was absolutely amazing!!! I LOVED it!!

Just a side observation lol...The man behind him to our right at 2:10-2:21 is sizing him up!!!! LMBOOO!! .....wonder why....HA!

[omardiaz14]

[rey9883]

Philip's vibrato is absolutely amazing.. i need to learn that..

[MAYARITRUMPET]

BRAVO!!!

[Irishike]

I play a little bit of blues harp, but this guy is amazing! When you play blues you are allowed to slur notes. He hits every note perfectly!!

[Conf1ictz]

which harp is that, im thinkig about buying a chromatic, that one sounds nice

[taemurz]

BTW, the Jazz numbers you were playing were magnificent mate .. well done ..

[taemurz]

Phil, you are a star mate .. well done today at CW ! keep up the good work ...

[blaqjames]

Yes !!!!

[chrishump1]

Blows me AWAY!

[kevenbabe89]

[montimer357]

[pharoahsoulero]

[msdanielle888]

This is incredible music !!  For some even younger musicians, check out "Mozart Quartet No. 2 in D Major"

[MillerMusicStudiosTV]

WOW!!! Your intonation is absolute!!! Your tone is beautiful!!! Lovely vibrato!!! This is miraculous! I am so happy to have found you on youtube! Please keep posting more and more of your video performances!!!! I must spread the word about you here in New York!!!!!  Thank you for sharing your video with me!

Much love and best wishes for your every continued success, Diane

[trjdkeir]

thats really good music

[Omaplata41]

Does chromatic have draw notes?; I think it would.

[Tupz244]

Awesome stuff man!!

[bennettganslmayr]

fantastic

[hiinathazz]

genial !!!

[followyourideas]

fantástico

[patriciatess]

Very Nice

[alec206]

it's good (and weird)

[linzee4584]

damn.. didnt know the harmonica could be played so classically..... =)

[CE750]

@linzee4584 that ain' no ordinary harmonica either.... that's a $10,000 hohner concerto ... only the Suzuki Fabulous compares and even that's not as nice.

[WiFooo]

@linzee4584 Every instrument can be mastered, but I see what you mean :)

[josephinegrace]

very cool

[jeana1001]

Wonderful!

[klassikrockrr]

amazing. being a kid, i am huge fan of young musicians. go to my channel and click on the myspace link to check out my stuff

[LadyofTheSummer]

Damn Amazing! How can he breathe? x.x

[noniddie]

some are draw notes and some are blow notes

[raurtom]

It's a special technique called circular breathing, allowing you to constantly blow out and breath in simultaneously :)

[xxxxharp]

Another stellar performance by Phillip. Such mastery is a delight to listen. Thank you for the great gift. Jay

[yycat1980]

Excellent !!!

[iPodiRockuSuck]

smallest instrument gets all the fame :D

[DiscoBus09]

@iPodiRockuSuck See size doesn't really matter.

[Pimp53454]

Amazing not just musicianship wise but skill wise as well. You've got to have a strong diaphram and healthy lungs to pull off something like this, plus the control of breathing without getting light headed is a lot to consider.

[darioeze22]

Great Friend !!!

[abood89tube]

what type of harmonica he plays ??

[Yamakasi96]

Absolute Quality!!

[anan7968]

EXQUISITE:D

[guitar453]

amazing

[agucamisofi]

maravilloso*****5

[GlenDoll]

Just wonderful! You have accuracy, dead-on timing, beautiful (and varied) intonation. Plus, you have a very engaging stage presence. I think what you are doing with the chromatic will help this wonderful instrument regain the credibility that Larry Adler and others enjoyed.

[888state]

wonderful *****

[Gorgorilla]

Maravillosa interpretación,

sublime y llena de encanto

saludos... Juany

[ratitafea]

[angloman1]

I remember watching this live and being surprised you didnt win 1st prize.

[GenericGene]

Fantastic Performance - Bravo -

[selvojr]

AMAZING!

[hannigan06]

sorry man I can only give you a five star rating because it just doesn't go any higher 1to hundred this is a a thousand scale.

[daunihun]

its absoluteley fantastic!!!!

[azndawgakamarlo]

AMAZING! @ first when he started it sounded like there was sadness in the sound then it got a lil more lively with the orchestra. This Harmonica performance was completely amazing.

[mypoetforever]

Your talent is spell-binding. Amazingly beautiful!

[blanka432]

una musica genial!!!!!

ENHORABUENA

BLANKA

[Kassandrakass]

Mravilloso

[pureappletree]

I always thought of harmonica as a bit of joke,but I guess I was wrong!

[sawssss]

i dont have the words

[minhtriet2507]

awsome

[griffith5000]

Good music! This is my first time to listen harmonica concerto.

[mysongbook]

wheres the video of the pianist guy who came in 2nd? he was really good

[YumpinYimminie]

Bravo! Bravo! Well Done! First time I have heard this piece. It is remarkable.

[mypoetforever]

Amazing what he does with the Harmonica!

I've only heard the harmonica in country or bluegrass songs. What an experience this is to hear this performance from Vienna!

[PaybackTyme]

i have never seen a harmonica played in a orchestra before! But this guy has such a great feel when he plays it just blends in nicely. this shows that harmonica is a proper instrument

[krizem]

So fluent in his playing...nice reverberations going on too...but yes I would also like to know what chromatic harmonica he is playing

[mrflapjax]

I think its a hering velvet voice

[atron8486]

man that dude with the whistling thng is a beast!

[llanbradach]

Every note sounded wonderful, I had no idea that a harmonica could be played in that way with a full orchestra, it sounded great.

[nowhere8]

Wonderful.

[fattypatty143]

Such beautiful music from such a talent young man!

[MickB0529]

Thanks for sharing!

[SiggyMe]

Very well done, what a location for such beautiful music, I wish I was there for it. doc

[corrindion]

Very nice playing... Refreshing!!even more so as it is outdoors and there is no acoustic echo coming back to the ears!!Harmonica is such a fickle and unforgiving instrument if it gets "depressed" and shuts down!..its rude and won't warn you!! What type of chromatic are you using??
