Up until the 1990's, there were many bars, clubs and pubs in London, into which you could walk and hear some superb (some dreadful also) pianists playing this beautiful cocktail lounge music... How I miss those days.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Your arrangement is amazing!! I was listening to Nat King Cole sing Fascination tonight. How I would have loved to hear you perform together....ABSOLUTLY HEAVENLY.....
Thank you for keeping this memorable music alive and for performing it with such style and feeling. There was a time (reflected in this music) which was romantically cultured and filled with sophistication and unabashed melody. There's little fascination in today's contrived and corny pop tunes and the relentless commercialization of said trash.
My mother plays an absolutely Beautiful and brilliant self-arrangement of this piece by ear, and has a brilliant finish to the work - much above this ending on here. She is now 84, but she still plays these pieces and hymns on a regular basis. She prefers to play them in 3 or 4 flats though; Fabrizio Caligaris here, plays this piece in the simpler white keys.
hi Fabrizio, fantastic playing, love all your videos, i am assuming from your trademark 'arpeggio' run up and down the keyboard, that you can play Chopin's op 10 no 1 etude?
I am so thrilled that you have sheet music available for your wonderful music! You are so talented and your music has a special feel to it. Thank you for sharing your great talent. Always a fan.
I never tire of listening to this beautiful piece of music. A classic that speaks to the heart, and so beautifully expressed through these hands playing it.
So many memories connected with this beautiful piece. A friend played it for me on his violin shortly before he died. I appreciated his effort so much. Thank you for posting this
Eu aoro esta linda música, ainda mais sendo executado no pino, não há uma coisa mais linda que esta valsa, meus parabéns; precisamos ouvir lindas músicas solada com tanto amor.
That's beautiful, man! I'd give you 6 stars if I could! That was my dad's favourite song (cancer took him 6 years ago) and has become my favourite too. He would always ask me to play it whenever he found me with an instrument nearby (sax, piano, guitar, accordion, flute) and I still play it very often. It's amazing how it can bring calm and help me relax. It's fascinating! Great talent you've got, though. Keep using it wisely.
Man that is the most beautiful rendition of the Fascination Waltz! Thank you. I just read "Amajuniortube's" remarks and your response to him and it was like going to church. I'm on my way to church in a few minutes and you are both going to be in my prayers. One of my prayers is that eventually in Heaven, we will all gather periodically with the Angels and Saints at your Mansion and listen to you playing the piano. G.b.y.!
Bonjour, je suis de Montréal également et je me demandais si vous aviez enregistré vos pièces en format midi, car j'ai un pianodisc et je ne trouve pas de belle pièces aussi bien montée... Cette pièces était la favorite de ma grand-mère et avec raison! Vraiment, très beau, merci.
Wonderful stuff and great talent. I would love to know the brand of piano on board the ship. It is really bright in the treble and very good for your music The unisons sound tightly in tune. I would imagine that it needs a touch-up tuning every time the ship is in port. I once had a dream of being a loung lizard organ player when I was a teen, but that was over 40 year ago. :)
sir, i have been admiring your work for quite a while and i woulde have to say you interpreted this song better than nat king cole himself. I could only dream to be as accomplished and incredibly tallented as you. Thank you.
I thought your Misty was tops until I heard you play this song. It's as good as Misty. Amazing! Would it be possible to get a music sheet from you on this song? Thanks.
I'm so glad I found you on youtube. My husband and I were on the cruise with you the week of March 2-9. You probably don't remember but he requested "Misty". You were out of CD's but I would love to have one. Would you have any available through the mail? We thought you were just wonderful! Mike and Cynthia Delaney, Indiana, USA
You could have my taste! I discovered this great pianist on You Tube because of the way he played Misty! Just surve on his name on the right site and Misty will appear for you.
Fascination was the only song my mother played on the piano - and it sounded just like she was playing it again - only a bit faster. Thanks for the memories.
Man you're good Time0207. I wish I could play like you. Hey if you have a sheet music of that version of Fascination you just played I am interested in buying from you.
you can feel the love in the song
