George Winston - Blossom/Meadow

[jbmauro100]

é um talento,não da para parar de ouvir,divino!

[Hardcaslte]

The album that this is on, I used to listen to it while driving to school to study music. It's so unbelievably inspiring and moving... it still feel that same depth of inspiration but now maybe a bit of sadness that I didn't stick with it and dedicate to piano. I've always loved it. There's always time though

[pachoula]

@Hardcaslte you know what hardcaslte... time is relative. And if you believe that, you can play, learn, play and frolic, listen and roll! Go with it! You have music's blessings!!! (NEVER FORGET THAT) ..............................­...................xx

[yusoupoff]

@Hardcaslte As long as a it makes you to want to move forward, today, tomorrow, just move forward with the moment::):):) Realize what is given to YOU!!!! This music is truly magical!!

This gentleman has found his calling...

[MsDisneyObsessed]

@alancbishop Indeed he has :)

[bcdude126]

im trying to learn all of winston's songs... well the easy ones :0

[Faine90]

Beautiful piece of music :) 

[Davi2010jk]

I want you to come to Spain, George. We love you. Beautiful piece. Wonderful.

[Epileph]

I met him in Sn Francisco for a concert, he was very kind, and let my wife and I watch him record some ideas he had after the concert was done!!!, great musician, better person...

[entersandancer]

one of my absolute favorite GW pieces!

[Luv2Dream224]

quite possibly one of the most inspiring people in my life. not to mention one of the most gifted too :)

[poncebellota]

hermoso ensimismamiento...

[mercicheng]

大师就是不一样a

[KorumEmrys]

Not allowing ratings ..? thats a shame because this is a tune of exquisite beauty...=)

[sec7470]

George: THANK YOU. You and Wolfgang are my truest idols and inspiration. Imagine Mozart music renditioned to sound like yours....just a bit... that's what I like to do. Next time you're performing in Northern California, I will be there to enjoy, and I will be there with lots of friends... so that they too may see and hear your beauty.

[buffalocrotch]

Magnificent, one of my favorites by him, this is slightly different than what is recorded on Winter into Spring, but, I like this version too. Thanks, George, for all the good music, you have provided me with a good musical escape for over 25 years now.

[fillwis69]

I have enjoyed this gentleman's music since I first heard Will Ackerman and George Winston during the beginning days of Windom Hill. His music is so pure and beautiful. He keeps getting better and better. Many Thanks Mr. Winston

[newagepianolessons]

You gotta like this guy!

[EruvieBruinen]

I adore it! :) From now...one of my the most favourite pieces of Mr. Winston :)

[Jwaltonp]

WE LOVE YOU GEORGE WINSTON!! WHOOOOOAAA

[yourstrulyloved]

that was beautiful

[sh0d4n]

@debbiephelps1 he is just recently published in the states. I finally have the sheet for Thanksgiving ... his music was not available in the states due to copyright shit.

But you can get it now at any reputable music store.

[iychibi]

So incredibly beautiful. I am in complete awe of his talent.

[BookLoverforLife]

George Winston is my favorite composer, he's simply amazing.

[ranger2613]

his music has provoked so many of my memories.

amazing: very simply put.

[BiggNasty1]

I've had the chance to see him twice in concert-just listen to his harmonica-he played a song that sounded like it was on the bagpipes-his guitar skills are second to none also-he is a true genius

[parkerf224]

You're absolutely right. And, to think this man is "self taught", having had only a few lessons as a child... boggles the mind. He personifies the true meaning of "genius"... or, at least, the next best thing to it. I can listen to him playing, all day, and never get tired or bored. He's simply amazing. Very humble, as well.

[jagemobe]

Sets my whole being a-flutter, as though I want to soar. Exquisitely beautiful. Reminds me of my recently-passed college years, when I would sit in the computer-lab on fridays working, listening to Windham Hill artists through my earphones.

Despite myself, I always had to stop working when George played of Meadows, or made the Colors Dance.

[saskoukraina]

I think in 100 years, people will look back on this era and count us lucky for having had the opportunity to experience this music. It's funny, because you can tell which tracks on each album Winston writes himself. They're the ones where you actually have the ability to touch or smell the object of the song. (Early Morning Range, for example. I can smell the air and feel a brisk breeze whenever i hear it.) Just goes to show, there's no substitute for genius.

[xJohnnys]

@saskoukraina True! Great artist and wonderful performer, but one thing....Can you smell "Variations on the Kanon" XD. Beautiful song where none of the 5 human senses can describe!

[Pianoboyness]

this guy has skillz...it looks so hard..but he makes it difficultly simple XP

[bluerosesouljah]

He's very talented this is so beautiful:)

[eggi438]

He's one of the persons that simply make life better.

[tubetrekker30]

Wow! Thanks for posting him. I love him. I used to write him and he'd always write back. What a wonderful man.

[HaldirLivesLuvIris]

what a wonderful talent. Beautiful, and absolutely spellbinding.

[PatchworkDream]

I am fortunate to have seen him in concert twice and both times was held spellbound-and both time he played barefoot ...other than his music there NOother sound-no talking, beepers, cellphones-it was like you were in another world

If you think this is amazing, he's one of the few even better live:-)

Thanks for posting-I LOVE this!

[Slugg0matic]

PatchworkDream is 100% correct. I saw him MANY years ago and have never been to a concert with a more respectful audience. Not a peep was heard from anyone until it was over. He is truly a professional artist in every sense of the word.

I was also surprisingly shocked when he walked out on stage to find that he could have been my twin brother. It was more than a resemblance - it was a jaw dropper. At least until he started playing and any similarities vanished at that point. :-)

[Lostpianoplayer]

I went to one of his concerts in Montana, and he played barefoot there too. His music is so great. I could lisnten to it forever. It is so I am attempting to learn his song Reflection on my piano, but no one can play the music the way he does.

[pianocatholic]

Great !

[Brysaengr]

so simple, yet so beautiful

[casperstap]

fantastic!

[OmgTtlyRandom]

What beautiful music Winston can play. I love it; it helps me relax when I work on my book.

[asuka33221109]

his amazing :D

[theartist58]

Mr Winston, Truly one of our great talents.

inspiring,moving and touching the soul of

those who listen. Thank you for sharing a

wonderful part of you. theartist58

[yobrandon11]

He's pretty good, but he should shave lol :)

[twentyzhd]

这个老爷子的手真看起来软呀~

[Peacharia]

Simply inspring and beautiful. Thank you for blessing us with your God-given gift.

[fugitive1201]

not simply god-given. He, just like all musicians, have to work hard for excellence.

[Peacharia]

I don't negate that practice and hard work and a huge hand in his technique (I used to play the violin). It is God-given that he has touched us with the beauty of his gift. George Winston's music helped heal me by his inspiration, verve and spontaneity. It helped bring me out of the depression I was in over the passing of my toddler. I have subsequently had children since that time and I made a point of always playing his music for them.

[fugitive1201]

i'm sorry if I have upset you in anyway, that wasn't my intention. I'm also sorry to hear of your loss, and you are right. Winston's music is very beautiful and inspirational.

[Tubztele]

Dude 5:01-5:13 was like the pinnecale of his career peace. The first time I saw him do that at 6:17-6:21 I lost my mind this song is unreal and i can relate to it

[Peacharia]

George Winston is simply superb. The first time I saw him do a live performance was at college in central CA back in the '80's.

[Tubztele]

Dude i just went to his concert in rochester minn, and none of the stuff he played even compared to this song of course this was in 1996 he getting real old. He did some wierd things with the strings to produce a diff sound kinda interesting I think technically sounding hes getting worse, his touch on this performance is uncanny no one could ever reproduce this, at least not without a good ear. dude is good at harmonica though. nothin at his concert sounded this good though, piano was too loud.

[tcp2150]

Simply the best.

[Jackport1988]

He might be Adam the God's first creation of human reincarnated in this era

[Tubztele]

Dude my favorite part is starts exactly at 1:34-1:42..that was the perfect note to transition to it gooded sooooooooooo sound, im done peace

[9611CALL]

this song is amazing. i love when he crushes the notes at 0:41 it puts shivers up my spine, and also at 2:19 when he changes and goes really deep also sounds fantastic. George is one of my favourite composers everything he does sounds magnificent. this would have to be my favourite, although his actually recorded version of this song doesn't come close to this live version.

[Tubztele]

I dont like other piano period, f-that, this dude knows what its all about, forget classical play what you think sounds good

[9611CALL]

well said

[Tubztele]

thats was fu--ing ILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Matic Thank you

[ocsanod]

great painist..my fave since late 80s

[EdSabhin]

Anyone knows where to get Geoge Winston sheet music for free? =D

[pacorocks66]

He doesn't put out sheet music. Sorry. I've never been able to find it.

[EdSabhin]

He sells some books with sheet music. But there doesn't seem to be much sheet music of his work for free on the web hehe. Thanks anyway ;).

[craiger5]

what an amazing talent. i saw him in concert in milwaukee in 1984...one of the most inspiring musicians i've ever heard. to see a guy walk out on stage in his socks and play these songs that tell stories in your mind. what an incredible artist.

[Evenstar458]

Wow, he is soooooooo amazing!

[ashland1977]

His talent and music is beyond words.

[vmedia69]

George Winston can tell a beautiful story without saying a word.

[whatthedoe]

I love this guy. So inspiring.

[michaels9988]

Beautiful song..
