Just to brighten up your day

Irmin thank you. That was pretty amusing. Best take on Canon in D I heard so far.

It looks like Lang Lang had a stroke on the operating table during sex-change surgery.

Wow! That is some mastery, of the piano, of music, of rhythm and just performing! Awesome, and thank you @Irmin for finding that and sharing it.

She's very enthusiastic … but I didn't enjoy this adaptation.

At first I didn't like the string rattle part, but then it got fun and impressive when she took the metal off the strings. I like the groovy feel. Wish I could play like that.

God Bless,
David

David B It almost sounded like a banjo for a while, which I thought was very cool. But the range of styles and rhythms that she covers in a relatively short amount of time was really impressive, to me at least, trying to follow along with the score at the bottom of the video. Probably not for an everyday cup of tea, but absolutely yes on a binge-y type of day! 🙂

Hiromi has a wonderful CD with Chick Corea, titled "Duet". BTW, she also performed at the Tokyo Olympics ceremonies (don't remember if it was the opening or the closing...), although that was a non-mainstream strange choice for the Olympics (and the TV transmission almost silenced her piano).

Also she has some very nice records with Anthony Jackson and Simon Phillips. Saw them performing at the Blue Note, was unforgettable.
