[Jesh5103]

ma se chops this guy is briliant!!!!!!

[XxPIANOLOVExX]

I THINK THAT PIANO IS GOING TO HAVE HIS BABY

[delphyum]

he's amazing. you can't see his hands dazzling.

[Akinon33]

@Andreeeiiii . It's not a race.

I absolutely agree and would add that it's not a case of who is (or was) best.

Personally, I prefer the playing of Oscar Peterson and, in particular, his slower, bluesy, melodic playing which is carried along so nicely using the rich, deep melodic harmony of Oscar's left hand which provides the perfect vehicle for supporting the right hand melody. As clever as he may be, Mr. Petruscu needs to slow down and give us the chance to hear what he can really do.

what the...... 0_o

[wakanabeotai]

Maestru.....ceva incredibil

[neon854]

Very skilled. But a pleasure listening to? -Not really.

[3e3op88]

Playing fast is one thing, and Oscar was the best, as far as I'm concerned, but this is overkill. After a while, it's just mind- numbing.

[Andreeeiiii]

@3e3op88

marian is faster

[3e3op88]

@Andreeeiiii You say he's faster than Oscar. Maybe that's true, but I think you missed my point. It's not a good thing to play so fast that the music loses something. It's not a race. Oscar could always swing at any tempo.

[zoltanns]

@3e3op88 True comment.

[Andreeeiiii]

@3e3op88 yeah, but for my its swinging.

especially the part in 3:50.

doubletime is doubletime, and to swing without an baseplayer, solo, is always hard on that tempo.

[softspoken33]

Oscar Peterson lives !!!

[cilcsster]

Oscar was my mentor since the 40s when I lst heard him. Marian just blows me away! Not only has Oscar not left, his memory will be augmented by this astonishing artist.

[filistro]

I admire this man for his fantastic technique and swinging feelings - and even though he has listened very much to Oscar, he doesn't only copy him. His technique and swinging feelings is on the same high level as Oscar's.I have never heard any pianist so close to Oscar's career as a solo-pianist. My great compliment!

[theproducer903]

whats with all the spanish post?!

[legrandjacob]

This man must bring his wife to orgasm very quickly

[DaNo1Maestro]

Okay, the guy definitely has chops, and the parts that swing work okay, but all the pyrotechnics in the middle are "sound and fury, signifying nothing" IMHO.

[cilcsster]

the music of Marian doesn't have any 'but' about it...never will!

[alandakerharley]

I can't see his third hand - where is it?

[CristianTari]

omu asta canta de parca ar merge pe benzina fara plumb, talent la superlativ, cel putin echivalent lui Oscar Peterson, a mai coborat un dac de pe columna lui traian, ce mai...

[SEXODABICI]

il iubesc pe omul asta cu toate ca nu prea inteleg ce canta cateodata si cred k nici voi ceilalti dar va spun un singur lucru e 1 la 1 miliard de oameni k el si cred k monemtan la pian e cel mai iute mondial parerea mea!Toata stima maestrului Marian Petrescu!

[leonardg1000]

Asa ceva nu se poate nu mai la portile Americane gasesti Felicitari si mult succes in continuare asa muzica si asa om mai merge sa intru pe youtube-ul asta sa il ascult Stima si Respecte de la Alin Moisa da-ti add la id meu leonardg1000

[insantlye]

Oscar Peterson Intreg!!!

[cunibertg]

whats that? at the beggining sounds chopin, and then Waltz for Debby...

[Wmuscatt]

Is it just me or can I hear some of Chopin's nocturne in C Sharp Minor,some of Rachmaninoff's piano concerto 2 in c minor first movement and some of Scriabin's sonata 5?

[blacknight39]

Yea, he is a fantastic technician, but there something lacking in the soul.

He plays it too fast, go and listen to Oscar's version he finds the exact right tempo for this tune (all tunes really).

Oscar's phrases, timing, swing, and technique is unbeatable. Oscar could have played this just as fast or faster, but the supreme virtuoso, knows exactly how to do it!!

[OscarPetersonFan]

I agree with you. If you watch Oscar, you'll see he's relaxed and also laughing, in a considerable distance to the piano

[cilcsster]

that's strange, when he goes to Korea there's nothing lacking in Seoul!

[insantlye]

Very Nice the Intro of indiana Marian Petrescu Is Big Famous Pianist in the World!!!!!

[insantlye]

yes but Gonzalo Rubalcaba is faster TOO!!!!

[emodude013]

wow amazing

thats insane how he goes so fast

[v6pete]

Totally Insane! - there's only one Marian Petrescu !!

[insantlye]

khlymore your right!!!!!!

[numaiplange]

This is the best technician I ever heard. fster and clearer than Cziffra, volodos, argherich even Richter and Horowitz...I am speachless.

[khlymore]

nope gonzalo rubalcaba is the best correction and dont forget OSCAR PETERSON

[edoru2007]

Hai sa-i lasam totusi pe Richter si Argerich unde s-au asezat! Oscar Peterson ar fi mai la indemana :)

[Noruego]

i met him once in norway, i have to say he is a really nice outgoing man, not to say an amazing live piano player, he rocks!!

[Gahlingspfad]

This man is so great, I have had the pleasure to listen to him live many many times here in Finland, his brother is playing very swinging bass, mostly together with Marian.

[davidorga1]

it is a great man he eat the pianoooo an the jazz too al gen i think he play

[leonardmite20]

e nebun asta ma/da e bine io cred ca e cal mai bn

[vladokarp]

Hi is the piano god!

[mylegsareswollen]

Give this cat another Red Bull!

[Tone4Tony]

The first that he plays is an part of Rachmaninoff piano concerto. He have probably played an whole Rachmaninoff piano concerto and that is the answer of his good technique. Rachmaninoff was the greatest classical piano virtuoso of his time and he wrote unplayable pieces for piano that only himself could play, but later on other pianist found out how to play them.

[pierrjazz]

Art Tatum et Oscar Peterson ont trouvé leur héritier!

[2xOagent]

Bravo!

[BmachNonstop]

Wonder what that looks like on paper.

[pierrjazz]
