"James Bond" and "Pink Panther" themes as a double fugue

[pikabko1]

ha is he mixing two tunes together like at the same time?

[pchantreau]

Incredible talent as improviser, pianist, composer. I am awestruck. Superb mastery! RESPECT!!!

[OneEndedStick]

After 1:35 it sounds a bit like the instrumental from the Pixar Short Luxo Jr

[gsarci2011]

bravo! for this funny yet wonderful fugue!

midi please!

[ldylarke]

so amazingly talented. I am in awe of his genius :)

[jeanlucchapelon]

La Fugue est la forme la plus complexe: raison de plus à improviser(exercice d'école des organistes!!!)

BRAVO RESPECT.......

[jeanlucchapelon]

Absolute ears !!!

[dondanzig]

All great composers from Bach to Beethoven were able to do this, just as he is doing. Is a shame that the instrumentists have gone away from improvisation and composers away from instruments, the two things should be together in a good musician. The master Grayson does it incredible!!

@dondanzig

Hard to speculate. Beethoven spent a lot of time working on the fugues he composed. Bach might have been able to improvise like this though.

[FNPFAR]

love jazz fugues :)

[MrCedal]

Wauw. Apparently my 4th birthday back then. Love this!

[UltraMegaSuperPhil]

Not sure why I read "Pink Panther" as "Jurassic Park", but either way, I was quite confused for most of this video.

[OneEndedStick]

Sounds like a Pixar song in parts...

[JoannaMeier]

I can't quite explain why, but this leaves me feeling pure and unalloyed joy. Thank you so very much for sharing this.

[BroadwayG]

If he only wore a sable coat and have lots of gaudy rings, wink and smile, he would be famous and rrrrrich!

[HooKnoo]

Not that I could do this. But he was handed relative gold there. It's easier than it sounds. Easier for a genius like him.

[RonyClay]

Today I learned to play 'Mary had a little lamb'...

[ariastoteles]

Bravo, genial and amazing!

[AgnesRegina]

this guy is an absolute genius!!

[SOLYAHU]

This video confutes two commonly spread misbeliefs about classical music:

1. that it is boring. (Hell no.)

2. that people listening to classical music are too serious & have no sense of humour. (Please.)

Thank you so much Richard Grayson, I owe you a lot.

[Kiwimagik]

This video made me feel worthless.

[Ghostman7777]

Wow, this guy is so in-tune with his music. No slip-ups in tempo or melody. This guy is just... Wow...

[RoderichEdelstein727]

thanks for putting these up. <333

[Starkiller1701]

WOW! Thats all I have to say, and also this. So that wasn't really all I had to say, but overall WOW!

[Dinglebarriez]

I dont deserve to even witness such talent! 

[frozinfire]

amazing

[GrauenausderTiefe]

How is it possible to be soo good at improvisation like him?

[Trace631]

@GrauenausderTiefe A lifetime of practice

[LaFilleDeLaRue]

Wow!!!

[SevenCircles]

Pure genius if it´s improvised.

Has he composed a lot?

[msdiediedie]

It must be great to have talent like that. He can just sit down at the piano and play original music all night long.

[jazzpsalti]

1:52 to 2:00 was absolutely BRILLIANT!

[kismetdolly]

All I can say is WOW! I always loved trying to write fugues for my music classes as it gave my teacher such a thrill to see someone try. With this you have totally blown me away.

[paulrandig]

Yeah. Bach swings. But Richard Grayson baches Swing. And about time, I guess...

[paulwwells]

A very skilful and tasteful weaving in of those two themes, with Pink Panther blended so well it could have been original fugue material.

[wancd]

Amazing.
