But where are is the drummer? Dont tell me after all this effort he used a sample??? Please do this with Matt McGuire (find him in YT if you dunno who he is)!
Hey man, I love your music. My father was a pianist and he tried to teach me when I was young, hoping to spark something, I never really took interest. I discovered your music a couple years ago and loved the fusion. I showed him. He enjoyed it a lot and we were able to share something. So, thank you for helping me get closer to my dad before he passed.
Yes! The videographers' close-ups are finally released. I'm so happy! We love seeing the expressions on Lionel's face: his smiles, the intensity, his laughing, all the emotion. So refreshing so invigorating so inspiring. So liberating. :-)) *Thank you Lionel Yu for all you do for us, for music.* For the sheer joy glory nd beauty of it all. God continue to bless you richly! :-) [Love watching Lionel's hands too. Love the captions! Thank you, Lionel. :-) Videographers/filmers did a stellar job. All around excellent excellent performance. Excellent excellent Concert. :-)]
Yes, so good to see all the close-ups etc that you can't observe from an audience perspective. Can't believe he won't ever return to London... [does he keep his promises, I wonder?]... though maybe that doesn't exclude other cities in the UK...
At first he didn't even plan to play this one on his concert, yet it's the first one he uploads on his TH-cam 😂 But this one sounded magical at the live concert and the standing ovation was totally justified ❤
Finally we are able to see the high quality of live performance from Lionel London concert by amazing photographers! Absolutely the best Moon Sonata EDM performance from all Lionel concerts! Plus Stunning sounds, lights, concert hall and great audiences! We could feel from Lionel smile face and satisfaction that it was Lionel’s dream concert! Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊 Lionel! We are so proud of you 👍👍👍!
YASSSSS!!!! The Lionel touch to the epic FIRST LIONEL YU video...LOVE your comments during your videos Lionel! And the camera work and lighting and your editing...finally!!!! Couldn't wait to see this lol...Ab.so.lute.ly fricken HUMONGOUSLY brilliant! Classy Classy Classy! Well done! ....And Moonlight...YASSSS!!! Start at the end and just keep going ...Love it! Thank you so much for being YOU🤣and bringing us so much joy by sharing your passion with us Lionel. You will only go from strength to strength ...Love your spontaneity and laugh...it's so real! Lionel! Lionel! Lionel! Lionel! Lionel! YU YU YU YU YU YU YU!!!!!
Moonlight Sonata is my all-time favorite classical piece. Your version is amazing! Original version sounds like a sad but joyful, hopeful piece to be played at a celebration of life service for those who have made plans for an eternal destination with the Lord. This version might be played to celebrate one's arrival in Heaven.
AH!!! I just noticed the channel name change oh my! Lionel Yu Lionel Yu Lionel Yu. Of course you're MusicalBasics too but I love seeing your name there. Lionel Yu. Bravo, Maestro! :-)
This isn't the normal remix you find on TH-cam - Lionel has brought a whole new level to music and I'm sure Beethoven is proud of him. I mean, not everyone could make the audience stand up and dance on a piano performance! Keep the hard work up!!!
Its fantastic to have watched this song come out all those years ago, and to now get to see him perform it infront of a ton of people. We love you, Lionel!!
This was beautiful...glad I made it to the premier💯This made my day/evening! You are AWESOME Lionel and you music is truly moving to me...words can’t describe how wonderful it is to the ear! Hope you have a blessed rest of your week Lionel along with everyone else watching 💯🙏KEEP IT UP!
How you managed to not only make this an amazingly modern version but somehow injected more emotion into this piece than any performance or interpretation I've ever heard is beyond me. Sobbing as I write this! Thank you for creating this 💜
Your so impressive! After finding out about you last night, I listened to a few of your videos, and then brought my violin out of the basement for the first time in 10 years 🙄 so thank you for giving me the desire to play again ❤️
D'you know he's written a piece called 'Dreams of a Violin'? A duet for violin and piano based on his epic 'Dreams of a Lonely Child'. I ordered the sheet music so that one day I'll be at the level to play it. It's hauntingly, achingly beautiful... Glad music is back in your life. Keep that passion burning....
I’m amazed and absolutely speechless, been re listening this performance for past 2 days. Goosebumps each time, I can’t even imagine amount of emotions I would bear if I was sitting in this concert hall. Next time your in London I’m 100% getting tickets
The hall reverberations from that piano must have been god tier! I'd really love to attend one and give you my biggest standing ovation, Lionel, because you totally deserve it
Let's face it. You didn't want to leave and we didn't want you too either. We'd already overrun... And I did go crazy, Lionel! The sound at this point had to be felt to be believed... Wot a way to finish... Can't even begin to imagine how you must have been feeling throughout and after this epic performance... 😂 The visuals and editing on this one are superlative. You had a crack team there.
Priceless how you started swinging on the stage! I'm sooo happy your concert is also on TH-cam! Yeah on the 3rd row is still to far to notice any details.
Lionel I am so happy for you that all the years of hard work are paying off for you ! I've been a musician most of my life, but not even to close to your level, but I do know we share the magic that music can bring (those special moments where the sum is greater than the parts?). I really like your approach of adding the "new" to the "old". And have EDM as part of your classical compositions. So I wanted to make a suggestion, not sure how you would do this, but I think Rob Swire (Pendulum, Knife Party) is unbeatable when it comes to dubstep or modern day electronica (yeah I'm old lol). I think if there were a way for you two to meet, and see if you hit it off or not. Cause if you do, I think you two would compose some amazing music. I think Rob has created THE all time best drumstep song, with a Drop nobody has duplicated. I don't think there's a drumstep/dubstep song that even comes close to: "Pendulum, Witchcraft Rob Swire Drumstep remix". (make sure the subs are hooked up and the neighbors aren't home lol). But maybe you are already familiar with him, I just thought I'd pass it along for your enjoyment if you hadn't. Well just a thought, always like seeing "the greats" hook up and create even greater magic together, and think both of you are at the top of your 'respected' genres. All the best with your career, it's nice to see real talent still appreciated these days in music. Peace my friend.
I found your channel at the start of lockdown in 2020 and even in the last 2 years seeing how amazing it's become inspires me. Thank you for the music, you deserve the spotlight.
To be able to create more than what the original music sounds like, to bridge that gap between what was and what is now. It is a huge task and quite a challenge, something I also do as a pianist. It's a fun challenge for me and I'm so happy that you are also doing this. You're quite amazing. I've been playing piano for 50 years, and you're quite an inspiration to me! So thank you for that!
I think it’s absolutely wonderfull how you played this piece with little to no wrong notes!!! Absolutely incredible! I loved it and I would love to go to a concert of you to go as crazy as the crazy audience people did! Well done and keep up the good work bro❤️🙏🏼🔥🎉
This is by far the best sound quality of your interpretation of the piece. I would even argue it’s the best remix of the song to date. One thing that really left me wanting more was the presence of other musicians on stage. I had really hoped they would come in at some point, though orchestration at that level is beyond my comprehension. They clearly admire your creation; it would be amazing to hear their instrumental contributions. People love this song so much, that you can just keep raising the bar with further adaptations, eventually becoming famous for inspiring what will inevitably become a new sub-genre.
I've just found your channel. I have no knowledge of classical music, but I do know when someone loves what they do. Well done young man. Look forward to viewing other videos.
I love hearing classical music updated well, to be appreciated in terms of how we listen to music today. Typically my favorite is hearing classical pieces played on electric guitar, but this is absolutely a standout.
Absolutely amazing from the first note you know its going to be an amazing work of art a pleasure for the ears another masterpiece thank you for sharing the amazing talent God has given you you're magnificent
When did people in the audience ever jump up and dance to a classical piano concert? Your Moonlight Sonata Remix is virtually a trademark of your music, ability and creativity. Only minus: The captions in the video are really annoying and distracting. Would have done better without them, so as to enjoy this iconic piece without mental interruptions.
NGL, I'd be pissed if my seat was directly behind them. They're being assh*les to the other patrons and they're distracting attention away from Lionel. I just got through seeing Yuja Wang in The Netherlands back in May and nobody felt the need to be an assh*le at her concert.
Really good video. You definitely have a lot of talent. You must have to practice a lot to get that level of proficiency. Really clean in time sounding piano to me. It must have felt amazing hearing the crowds response too.
Lionel, I can honestly say I was absolutely enthralled watching this remarkable and unforgettable performance! Way to go! I hope that you continue to create more Classical/EDM fusions. You are one of the most talented and bold musicians that I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Love the captions as well… I wish more artists would include some captions in their videos. It adds a more personal touch letting people know some of your thoughts at particular moments during your performance. Thank you so very much my friend for the joy you caused in my soul as I drank up this stunning piece of music.
Dude….when are you coming to New Jersey already!?!?! Would love to see you perform in person. Your talent is such a joy and blessing to those who are lucky enough to hear it. 😊❤
Excellent performance! I'm surprised this was in the UK because I always thought it was very rude to stand up in a seated concert and block peoples view.
Why am I crying?!? Lol. Those people dancing who can NOT ignore the calling stirred in their bodies are my people! I con't understand how the humans sitting there experiencing this are not moved to come alive and FEEL it in their bodies requiring them to act on it!!!!

Not many people know this but he is learning a new language in his ear while he plays...he brings multitasking to a whole new level😁
The Elon Musk of music and communications I would say. Actually music is communication , come to think of it. All I know is this was magnificent. 😍
Lmao... Well, you'll have heard of 'levels of difficulty'. 'Asian level' is above 'Impossible level' so you could be right...
HAHAHAHAHAHA
🙂 Great idea, for that extra energy, that does tend to invade or turn into anxiety, or worse.
Produces wonderful tones.
💐👏👏😌
No way... 🙀
Hey man, I love your music.

So, thank you for helping me get closer to my dad before he passed.
you played the full version in London?? YO That's Amazing!!
Shoutout to the Launchpad!
@Lone-R Incredible engineering on the dubstep backing, unbelievably great! It's perfect. Forever kudos nd God bless. :-))
It's been a while since live music has giving me goose bumps and made me cry and the same time. Humbled

❤️
I'm more impressed at the fact that at some moments he was closing his eyes while playing XD you and your encore are the perfect musical group :)
At first he didn't even plan to play this one on his concert, yet it's the first one he uploads on his TH-cam 😂
But this one sounded magical at the live concert and the standing ovation was totally justified ❤
It was THE one to end on, wasn't it? If there's a word that means greater than 'epic' let me know!
@@wakingtheworld True Story. This was a song par excellence for ending this awesome concert 😊
YOU MAKE ARE CHANGING HOW OTHERS CAN ALSO ENJOY CLASSICAL MUSIC AND EVERYONE IS HERE FOR IT I LOVEEED THIS!!

Im atheist but hell yeah this goes hard
❤️
i love that the audience shouted ‘MOONLIGHT SONATA’ and you played it. definitely a great choice
AH!!! I just noticed the channel name change oh my! Lionel Yu Lionel Yu Lionel Yu. Of course you're MusicalBasics too but I love seeing your name there. Lionel Yu. Bravo, Maestro! :-)
This isn't the normal remix you find on TH-cam - Lionel has brought a whole new level to music and I'm sure Beethoven is proud of him. I mean, not everyone could make the audience stand up and dance on a piano performance! Keep the hard work up!!!
he looks so into it, he's smiling literally the whole time
Its fantastic to have watched this song come out all those years ago, and to now get to see him perform it infront of a ton of people. We love you, Lionel!!
*milestone: first upload as Lionel Yu* 🥳🥰
This is an awesome remix 😇
I could listen to this every day for the rest of my life and be in Bliss. Surely this is how we play it in heaven!
Moonlight is my favorite 😍 Love his rendition
This was beautiful...glad I made it to the premier💯This made my day/evening! You are AWESOME Lionel and you music is truly moving to me...words can’t describe how wonderful it is to the ear! Hope you have a blessed rest of your week Lionel along with everyone else watching 💯🙏KEEP IT UP!
one of my all-time favorite pieces, remixed into one of my all-time new favorite pieces. Seeing you play live makes me wish I'd been able to attend.
How you managed to not only make this an amazingly modern version but somehow injected more emotion into this piece than any performance or interpretation I've ever heard is beyond me. Sobbing as I write this! Thank you for creating this 💜
To have been there and felt the music must have been incredible. I can't believe I barely discovered this on TH-cam.
Your so impressive! After finding out about you last night, I listened to a few of your videos, and then brought my violin out of the basement for the first time in 10 years 🙄 so thank you for giving me the desire to play again ❤️

Goosebumps each time, I can’t even imagine amount of emotions I would bear if I was sitting in this concert hall.

boring, unbalanced, childish, not good, with no sense of music.
The hall reverberations from that piano must have been god tier! I'd really love to attend one and give you my biggest standing ovation, Lionel, because you totally deserve it
Let's face it. You didn't want to leave and we didn't want you too either. We'd already overrun... And I did go crazy, Lionel! The sound at this point had to be felt to be believed...

The visuals and editing on this one are superlative. You had a crack team there.
Oh man I was pretty sure I’m cold, but then I found out I’m just shivering from this performance.
You’re one of my favorite musicians of all time.
If only I could have him at my wedding, the best pianist I've ever heard.
I have no clue why but I have tears in my eyes it's sooooo beautiful!
This was always An Amazing Performances, And it always never ever gets tiring to hear.
Priceless how you started swinging on the stage!
I'm sooo happy your concert is also on TH-cam!
Yeah on the 3rd row is still to far to notice any details.

This literly brought tears to my eyes.
I think you started my new hobby of composing piano music! Thank you!
I found your channel at the start of lockdown in 2020 and even in the last 2 years seeing how amazing it's become inspires me.
Thank you for the music, you deserve the spotlight.

I just love all the modern twists you have inspired people to do for classical music. I love it!
This is next level!!! Magical!!!!! Congratulations
I love that the bass (or is that a tall cello?) player is looking over your shoulder in amazement.
This is beyond beautiful.it is heavenly
I've just found your channel. I have no knowledge of classical music, but I do know when someone loves what they do. Well done young man. Look forward to viewing other videos.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME DOWN A BIT SOUTH TOOOOO! I will pull in a huge crowd for you!
MIAMI, maybe? 😭😭😭
Amazing 🥲!
OMG! I've heard your remix so many times but this time was so much better! I wish I could have been there. Fabulous work!!! We appreciate your music.
An absolutely magnificent performance. 🎉
I love hearing classical music updated well, to be appreciated in terms of how we listen to music today. Typically my favorite is hearing classical pieces played on electric guitar, but this is absolutely a standout.
You’re 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You should make the podcast rounds to talk about your life and TH-cam career
Also I love the new channel name
This is truly amazing 👏 ❤️
I may or may not be crying my eyes out right now.
Beethoven would be crying tears of Joy if he ever heard this. Bravo!
Beautiful 😍 beautiful 😍
Absolutely amazing from the first note you know its going to be an amazing work of art a pleasure for the ears another masterpiece thank you for sharing the amazing talent God has given you you're magnificent
Thanks!
Stunning....🎹🎼
Absolutely amazing
Found your channel last week and I couldn’t get anything done this weekend listening to your music. Can’t wait to see you perform live one day!
Hundreds of years on top of the "charts" what a hit!!!! 🎶🎶 what a classic 🎶🎶🏅🏅
AWESOME!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! ❤️❤️
Legends say he is still standing on the stage 😂
beautiful 👍🙂💯
When did people in the audience ever jump up and dance to a classical piano concert? Your Moonlight Sonata Remix is virtually a trademark of your music, ability and creativity. Only minus: The captions in the video are really annoying and distracting. Would have done better without them, so as to enjoy this iconic piece without mental interruptions.
I love this song, It’s just so inspiring and awesome. I even tried playing it myself but ended up laying my body on the keyboard ;-;
this looks like it would've been a blast
Love u man ur awesome KEEP GOING DON'T STOP
Thank you for the B'day present, this is just awesome.
Happy Birthday!
@@nellz72 THANKS!!!!
People in the audience are having a party lol
NGL, I'd be pissed if my seat was directly behind them. They're being assh*les to the other patrons and they're distracting attention away from Lionel. I just got through seeing Yuja Wang in The Netherlands back in May and nobody felt the need to be an assh*le at her concert.
This was incredible!!!!
Thank you! You are an inspiration to many!!!
Really good video. You definitely have a lot of talent. You must have to practice a lot to get that level of proficiency. Really clean in time sounding piano to me. It must have felt amazing hearing the crowds response too.
i was literally in London for vacation when this concert happened :O
Lionel, I can honestly say I was absolutely enthralled watching this remarkable and unforgettable performance! Way to go! I hope that you continue to create more Classical/EDM fusions. You are one of the most talented and bold musicians that I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Love the captions as well… I wish more artists would include some captions in their videos.

wow wahnsinn es wird immer besser , super remix , super talentiert , respekt !!!
Dude….when are you coming to New Jersey already!?!?! Would love to see you perform in person. Your talent is such a joy and blessing to those who are lucky enough to hear it. 😊❤
Excellent performance! I'm surprised this was in the UK because I always thought it was very rude to stand up in a seated concert and block peoples view.
I'd be dancing in the audience too
Wahnsinn. diesen Klassiker neu interpretiert... ich hatte Tränen in den Augen, danke für dieses Spektakel... Genius.
To me the looks of recognition of his fellow musicians on stage speak volumes of the performance 🙂
Incredible
Beautiful
I'd LOVE to hear this and experience it. It'd also be neat to add in some strings on it as well. Maybe take it to yet another level.
Your music is AMAZING bro ! I love it :) would be a pleasure to see you at your next concert in Paris :)
I recently found your channel and I've been going through your work. This one brought me to tears at the beauty of your playing.
Why am I crying?!? Lol. Those people dancing who can NOT ignore the calling stirred in their bodies are my people! I con't understand how the humans sitting there experiencing this are not moved to come alive and FEEL it in their bodies requiring them to act on it!!!!
Getting chills each time I listen to it! A masterpiece !!!
This is so beautiful. I got goosebumps. You are a very talented musician. I love your music! 😃 You take classical music to a different level.
Those other musicians on the stage are like, "Dang, I thought I was good!" - And how is everyone in the audience not up dancing?!?!?
