he was an inspiration to me as a child and I still have a special place in my heart for him to this day. Thank you Lee for all the great performances and memories.
Chopin purists would not be happy with what Liberace did with Nocturne in E flat, OP. #9, etc. I however found it totally entertaining. Liberace's detractors were just pissed off because Lee played everything the way he wanted to, not the way that they wanted.
@postiekelly Yes he is,i am younger than most fans and in fact have no friends that are interested in his music :( I have also been an oddball though,when I was little my favourite artist was Barbra Streisand
@balto4 It just shows you are willing to try new and different things and open yourself to what the world has to offer. And if your friends dont or cant thats their loss. And if they're your real friends they'd at least understand or listen with you.
Of course. There's no other way at this level! He was a one and only and it's sad to think that there's no one to replace talent of this magnitude these days!
Andyfirthjazz:I agree,he was one of a kind thats for sure!!! This is beautiful and makes me tear up I must admit. Sadly I'm of a generation that thinks 'talent' is someone like Adam Lambert. Liberace is my favourite artist right now,and I have only become a fan recently. I was very young when he died and my mother and Grandmother were always fans,so finally checked him out for myself as I am disappointed with the music industry now. what a nice person he was also
The greatest showman the world will vere know - and to that he was the kindest and most gentle man. His family and friends shared with me the most touching stories of his tireless generosity to others. A true legend and a lovley man.
It is reassuring to know there is at least one other person in the world who has always wanted the same kinds of things I've always wanted! I am rather amazed at the comments which these clips have brought; I was afraid that history might view Liberace as laughing-stock but he seems to be striking a chord even with those who don't remember him alive. Liberace could always re-intent himself and he seems to be doing it again!
simply beautiful -

@balto4 It just shows you are willing to try new and different things and open yourself to what the world has to offer. And if your friends dont or cant thats their loss. And if they're your real friends they'd at least understand or listen with you.

And his use of the pedal....People will be studying his pedaling technique for centuries to come. He can trill better than
the Rach. It comes straight from the heart.
