My Irish dark side prefers this most somber tune commemorating King Herod’s ordered Massacre of the Innocents upon receiving the news of Jesus Christ’s birth. Apt that Hanukah and Christmas are celebrated on the same day this year, a reminder of our common suffering for faith. Maggie Hirsch told me once that the Jewish holy days are all essentially variations on, “They tried to kill us, we surv...

Hello Blackstar, I hope that you are safe and not affected by the fires in the Los Angeles area. It’s been a horrible situation for so many and affecting the entire city. 😢
Absolutely magical! Can't wait to hear the whole album!
Wow! Loved this! Great that you are expanding to video like this. Did you use those "Dream" apps from TH-cam? I'll be looking into those, I've only played with FarPlay and another one. Really clean green screen edit - was that the Dream Screen?
Love this so much! What Joni Mitchell song(s)? Cannot wait.
The Dawntreader, A Case of You
Can't wait for more. Cheers.
Happy New Year! Beautiful ❤
My favorite.
Joyful, triumphant yet sorrowful too. And so beautifully performed.
A beautiful arrangement and performance! Merry Christmas, Mr. O'Riley
Thank you so much Christopher. Sally and i enjoyed your loveky arrangement and playing. This carol is a personal favourite. Christmas blessings and love from the United Kingdom, Chris and Sally 🌹🌹
As usual, a priceless performance of exquisite beauty by a pianist who should be considered a treasure of our country. Love your playing Chris. Really incomparable. Nobody but the greatest artists have your sense of meaning and color so perfectly integrated.
Gorgeous arrangement of one of my most favorite carols! You should record a Christmas album!
Thank you for this beautiful arrangement. The only Christmas carol I never get tired of. 🎄❤️
So beautiful ❤🙏🏼
Gorgeous
👏👏👏 👏
Most beautifully played.
This video deserves much more views!!
I have listened to your music more than perhaps any other musician ever. I fell in love with your lush arrangements of Radiohead songs when your first album of them came out, and since then they have accompanied me during quiet, pensive mornings and long road trip stretches and evenings with friends. I truly love your music. Your arrangements are stunning and wildly beautiful, and your performances are full of such reverence and heart. Thank you for all that you do, Christopher.
I first listened back in 04'. Feels like yesterday. I also bumped into somebody today who not only is a long-time fan of Chris, but who had the honor of hearing him play Radiohead live years ago.
Amazing.
Bravo! Very beautiful and transcendent.
There is something eerie about d minor, and Mr. O'Riley brings this to life nicely.
Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing this performance.
Sheet music link please 🙏

Brilliant
Absolutely stunning
This is a gorgeous interpretation Christopher. Thank you for making it. Do you have a link for your transcription?

Christopher - I discovered True Love Waits in a Borders Books & Music store in 2004. I fell heads over heels in love. I listened to the whole album - and especially this song - over and over. What you do at the climax is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. It’s an honor to see you play and think back on those moments with my headphones on - 20 years ago.
As a lifelong Radiohead fan, i can say I love this.
Best piano version ever .....end off
Yesh...you feel it!! Amazing to WATCH something in black and white I only heard. THANK YOU SIR!!
Bravo! I thought (just for a moment) that you were Thom Yorke in the thumbnail.
This brings me back to high school in the early 2000s. We had just returned from winter break and it’s the dead of winter. On this particular morning, I was in study hall reading the Diary of Anne Frank listening to Chris’s version of Motion Picture Soundtrack on my brand new iPod video. Study hall was located in our cafeteria - a large room filled with these big round greenish tables that could seat about 8 kids, and yet we all sat alone. I’m a terrible reader, so I needed a quick break and peaked out the wall sized windows l. It must have been about 7:30 am and all I could see was a singular light post illuminating the black with a flurry of snow coming down. An overwhelming sadness washed over me. To this day, Motion Picture Soundtrack is probably my favorite song, both Thom and Chris’s version and I will never forget that moment
Wow wow wow
Wondrous❤
Wow! Wonderful! Thank you so much!
Love the lily pads on the pond, and of course the Bach performance is splendid!
The Bosendorfer seems just the right kpiano for the Bach Preludes and Fugues. I don't think I see the extra bass notes on the keyboard. I look forward to the PARMA album!
This is wonderful-thank you to the both of you!! ✨🥂
Thank you, Christopher O’Riley, for all the beauty you bring into this world.
Bach is so romantic!!! Love this! We are huge Bach and Bosendorfer fans!!!!! Bravo!!
This is s beautiful and elegant! Love it!
Bach, even the most simple theme speaks volumes. Nowadays it's just cfgc if even that.
This is just gorgeous… I’ve loved listening to your arrangements for at least 15 years but am just now discovering your TH-cam channel ❤
Beautiful 🩵👍
bravo...... bravo
Very nice chris! Cheers from a burgh friend
brilliant! 👏
would never have existed without the original, but this is better than the original IMO
Agreed. This is like an extremely beautiful Nocturne version.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
