O Holy Night - The Rachmaninoff Way

- Every Christmas I get asked to play O Holy Night nearly one hundred times for singers, but never as a solo. So I started wondering what it might sound like as a piano solo, and what if Rachmaninoff had made a piano transcription for it? A little fun for Christmas, O Holy Night the Rachmaninoff Way. This was recorded in my home on my Steinway D with a stereo pair of Rode NT-5 mics, a Zoom H4N recorder, and a Canon 70D DSLR. One take was synced in Adobe Premiere Pro C5. Merry Christmas!

Fantastico
Stunning! Just kept getting better n better when u didn’t think it could get any better well done young man 🙋🏼♀️❤️🎹🎼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful
Lovely. Thanks. A wonderful improvisation.
Wow!!
The years go by, and I look for something special at Christmas each year. There are a lot of renditions of this piece to be found, but the simplicity of form and surroundings makes this performance absolutely heart-blowing! Thank you so much, Tim, for giving this to the world.
Best version i'd ever heard !
I could listen to that a thousand times. Very uplifting to the soul.
Rachmaninoff would be proud sir!
That's insane, I left this comment 3 years ago!
Stupendo
So very beautiful. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Very nice 😊
That was wonderful! What a gifted pianist you are.
I was looking for a jazzy version of Oh Holy Night, but I'm not disappointed at all to have found this one. Truly wonderful!
nice.
Absolutely beautiful
I NEVER give props on TH-cam but that my friend was GREAT. I play piano myself. Performed the Rach 2 before, (it's on my TH-cam page) and loved how you integrated the 2nd and 3rd movements, as well as Rhapsody on a theme by Paganinni....
I found this video because I was thinking how cool would it be if Rachmaninoff was recorded playing some Christmas music, but this is almost just as good. Very well done!! If you'd like to collaborate sometime, I think it would be worth talking about. I might be able to open a few doors as well!
Send me a message if interested!!
Thanks,
Mike Murray
Very nice! Amazing feel and performance....
Wow! Thank you.
Hipnoticamente maravilhoso...pianista formidável...interpretando canções belíssimas uma das quais do brilhante Rachmaninov...acredito uma das mais belas entre todas no cenário clássico...ufa...ufa...muita emoção...
I liked this video for 2 reasons: 1) because of the beautiful performance of the music but, sorry, 2) because you played barefoot - I always play barefoot because it make me (in my mind) feel more comfortable and grounded. I also like the narration of why you are performing the music as you do. Beautiful video.
Magnificent.
Tim, thank you for sharing this. You must know how music can move you to tears? Then you would know how I am feeling right now. Merry Christmas to you as well.
Double wow! Amen!
Brilliant!
FINALLY someone plays this song with the arpeggios it deserves! Bravo!
You are so talented 🎹 🎼 🎶
Nice, Tim!
Nicely done. Those small mics pick up a surprising amount of bass.
👏👏🎄🎄🎉🎉🎹🎹
What an arrangement! Where are you? I live in California. I would like to talk with you.
Tim, a member of your church who's a distant relative shared this amazing video on Facebook last night shortly after you uploaded it. Incredible work on all fronts! Would you be willing to share sheet music, by any chance? I'd absolutely love to learn this.
J.B. there is not any sheet music, but I'll tell you the layout of the piece. I started with Rachmaninoff Concerto No.2, the second movement and dropped it to Db Major to use as the bed for the hymn. The first deviation from O Holy Night is into the third movement of Rach 2 straight off the page in Db Major. Back to the hymn with a little embellishment, then meandering through a little Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (the 18th variation specifically), then back into a final run at O Holy Night with an improvised ending similar to the ending of Rach 2 again. Hope that helps!
Hi, Tim! I, too, would love to be able to obtain the sheet music if you have had a chance to transcribe it in the past 2 years since this reply to J.B. What a gorgeous arrangement. I am so completely enthralled with it. You have a brilliantly creative mind. God bless you.
Does make one wonder what old SR would have done with this hymn.
Would you possibly have a midi file or sheet music for this beautiful rendition. I would love to play it at my church
Are you familiar with Dino Karsonakis?
I love the Rach! do you have sheet music? this is my favorite Rachmaninoff. beautiful
Where can i get or bueno the score ?
Beautiful, where can i buy score?
Do you have sheet music for this?
Needs more soaring arpeggios to sound like rachmaninoff imho. This is more like a rach medley. But good work
I think this is your answer :)
