I know nothing about music or anything. But, when I started losing sleep because of my depression and anxiety, I turned to classical music to help calm my mind. Today, I thought the whole day about finally ending my life. Then, i found this. I’ve always loved listening to Lang Lang, he always plays everything with so much emotion. Hearing him play this piece, it made me tear up so much. It gave me very wonderful feelings and i ended up thinking about all the things i was happy for before falling into this dark pit. I feel like it was fate that made me find your piece at the worst moment of my life. Thank you. I don’t know how else to express this feeling in me except to say thank you, thank you, thank you. I will definitely come back to listen to this again. Music is truly wonderful!
One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard and I hope I will never tire of it - many a tear has been shed listening to this. Makes me feel so privileged to be able to appreciate good music
This piano piece holds a beautiful memory it was one of my beautiful mother #Shirleys 😢favourite pieces . I miss her so very much .music evokes such wonderful feelings. I miss her piano playing .❤
I live in the USA and often listen to Classic FM. I first heard this piece on Classic FM. Now whenever I want I list to it on TH-cam. Among the most beautiful pieces of music ever.
No meer words are adequate to express the emotions this beautiful piece of music brings to us. I wish everyone could hear it and take its effect into their lives.THANK you Nigel & Lang Lang!
I heard this tonight on Classic FM and had to sit in the car till it finished to find out what it was because it was so beautiful. I was on the verge of tears! Amazing composition and piano playing :)
Nigel this is a stunning piece. Love it. Fun fact: My Sister knew you very briefly many years ago after meeting you at a show called "Happy As A Sandbag", I think you were MD. I've been interested in your career ever since ! 😄
I've been playing this - radio, CD etc, sadly Not on the piano :p - for a couple of years, since I first heard it on ClassicFM. Beautiful - a touch of Rachmaninov. I love sitting in the little park, near to where I live, looking at the roses, or whatever the season allows, and listening on my iPhone. Sheer Bliss! :-)
I've just discovered this by chance on classic fm and it's absolutely beautiful. I'm currently stuck writing my own second movement and it will be interesting to see how this inspires me to complete it. In the meantime, thank you for a wonderful piece of music.
Nigel, what a stunning composition! I can't stop listening to it :) I recently had the fortune to meet the love of my life and I don't know whether my feelings grace the music or the music graces my feelings, but this is what it feels like :D Bravissimo!
This music is so very beautiful, thank you for it as it touches my very soul and transports me to my love who was a Pilot, no longer of this earth or time but eternally in my heart ❤
I found your music, Nigel, when I started watching Hetty Wainthropp Investigates (of all things!) and fell in love with the theme song. Your music touches my heart. I look forward to discovering more of it. Thank you
Beautiful music . A loud brash advert intetupted before the last few chords ! It shouldn 't be allowed ! One at the start is enough thank you very much .
Bit different from Prokofiev 3 & Bartok 2 which I've just heard Lang2 play (again). Refreshing. Somehow reminds me of Cambridge & wet nights spent indoors listening to all sorts of music. Perhaps you too? Lucky students will now get to hear your music as well.
Thank YOU Nigel Hess.... for this absolutely sublime music that can only have been composed from love and passion you felt deep in your heart; it spoke through your soul, translated to the keyboards. And every beautiful note fills me with so much emotion. Well done also Lang Lang for playing with such passion.
A modern composer who is not afraid of a romantic melody, giving such richness and, as some have pointed out, reflections of Rachmaninov, the most emotional of composers.
Mr Hess what a privilege it is to hear this wonderful piece (time and again), my favourite modern-day piano classic and Lang Lang does it proud.............You are truly gifted............
This reminds me of the great days of the British Cinema that i grew up with in the late 1940's and early 50's. At the age of 73 it's nice to come across something like this.
First time I am listening this piece from local classical FM, 92.4 Symphony FM .... Then I tried to find it on youtube. What a beautiful arrangement of 21th century music ... May b ppl will start to look into this piece again 50 years later. This piece has abit of Rachmaninov touch .....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I Heard it today on the German classic radio and had to pull over and listen to the end I'll be a father in a few weeks And think of how it will be. I am so happy when I hear this music. It moves me to tears. The composer living genius. Thank you
I've just heard this number on FM and could'nt wait to hear it once again.What an beautiful and soothing number!!Very romantic. I almost cried! Thank you so much for sharing.
I did the same thing Rhoda, and have finally tracted it down on my 88th birthday! I would love to see this danced to by a pair of talented dancers, as I have when listening to it again!
I first heard one of your pieces played by Joshua Bell at Ravinia in Chicago, and I fell in love. I looked you up as soon as I got home and discovered this gorgeous piece. I would sacrifice almost anything in my life to be able to write music like this, but sadly, this is not the kind of music they teach in American universities. Beautiful piece.
Phenomenal Lang Lang makes this particular piano piece the most beautiful thing to hear . I love piano . My mother played the piano and it is in my heart my mind and soul . Thankyou Lang Lang and Nigel hess for bringing music alive . VALERIEJANE X
I love this so much have it in special file, to be viewed often, what magic! Maestro, between the two you, composer and pianist, something awesome has been heard xxxx
Hi Nigel. I stumbled upon this by accident, starting with the Ryan Anthony Song for Hope, then via Phil McCann playing your Hetty Wainthropp theme and then this - you know how TH-cam works - and it’s a gem. Incidentally, on my first day at college in Birmingham, in 1973, I met a double bass player called Steve Kelk who, as I was a trumpet player, asked me if I had heard of you. I always remember that whenever I hear a piece of yours. All the best. Ian C
Again i cannot stop listening to this beautiful brilliant piano 🎹 piece .it makes me go to places I have loved and of course my beautiful mother Shirley I miss her piano playing 😢. Thankyou Nigel Hess and Lang Lang for playing it xx
Words are completely inadequate to express my gratitude for your creation of this piece of music so I will just say, thank you Nigel. It is VERY MUCH appreciated. Simonline 🇬🇧🤔😀👍
Heard this on Classic FM, the show done by Prince Charles. Absolutely mesmerising - how have I got to now without knowing this stunning piece of music?
Nada contra a musica atonal, dodecafonica, mas ouvir uma música como esta, para mim, é sentir prazer. É ouvir um som harmônico e sentir a harmonia e a beleza.

I will definitely come back to listen to this again.
Music is truly wonderful!
I agree music can really lift the spirits. I do hope you are not in such a dark place now and that music will continue to fill you with joy and peace
Why is beautiful music so close to sadness? Perhaps because it awakens us to the possibility of a better world? It stirs our deepest longings.
One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard and I hope I will never tire of it - many a tear has been shed listening to this. Makes me feel so privileged to be able to appreciate good music
1964tamsin totally agree, emotional and so well played by Lang Lang!
Your music and Lang Lang's piano skills.......match made in heaven. Thank you
This piano piece holds a beautiful memory it was one of my beautiful mother #Shirleys 😢favourite pieces . I miss her so very much .music evokes such wonderful feelings. I miss her piano playing .❤

Charles Short it’s awesome, Australia,
One of my favourite pieces of music. If I was famous I would have it as one of my desert island discs.
Utterly beautiful . Never tire of listening to it. Especially lovely in the early hours when I can’t sleep.
No meer words are adequate to express the emotions this beautiful piece of music brings to us. I wish everyone could hear it and take its effect into their lives.THANK you Nigel & Lang Lang!

Rhoda Pickens, couple weeks ago and 2 years after you I heard it at deep night on Classic FM. And now it's my turn to be on the verge of tears:)
I have just heard this on late night Classic FM (July 2018) and I too am now a fan of this truly beautiful piece of music.
So was I
Extremely moving piece - thanks to Classic Fm for introducing it to me -
So was I today 🥰
Mike Tall,

Beautiful music is always uplifting when Lang Lang is involved
I've been playing this - radio, CD etc, sadly Not on the piano :p - for a couple of years, since I first heard it on ClassicFM. Beautiful - a touch of Rachmaninov. I love sitting in the little park, near to where I live, looking at the roses, or whatever the season allows, and listening on my iPhone. Sheer Bliss! :-)

Mes larmes coulent à chaque fois, sur cette interprétation. Bcp d'émotions. Superbe .Merci

Bravissimo!
If the music in heaven isn't this good, I am going to be disappointed.

Only one thing would make it better, to see your face whilst you play it!

Such a beautiful piece of music.
What a beautiful piece of pure joy and contentment, bliss!

I am very grateful for your tutorial! I tried it and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much
It reminded to me Rachmaninoff's second concerto, immensely touching!
Maravillosaaaaaaaaaaaaa
For the flight😀🎶🎯Bon voyage- you’ll be fine !xy
I can't help be reminded of Rachmaninov's 2nd concerto when I hear this
wow
❤️
So upset!! Hess's "The Smile" and "The Love" are not available any longer. Sob sob etc....
Beautiful music . A loud brash advert intetupted before the last few chords ! It shouldn 't be allowed ! One at the start is enough thank you very much .
Thank you to all who have found this and enjoyed it. So grateful to Lang Lang for taking this piece to his heart....
My thanks to you for writing such a beautiful piece of music. It is one of my top favourites
I agree, yes indeed, Maestro Nigel Hess. I am composer also, but not famous already.
If you can write something as beautiful and touching as this then you soon will be famous.
Bit different from Prokofiev 3 & Bartok 2 which I've just heard Lang2 play (again). Refreshing. Somehow reminds me of Cambridge & wet nights spent indoors listening to all sorts of music. Perhaps you too? Lucky students will now get to hear your music as well.

The best composition of Maestro Nigel Hess, forever, i think. God may bless him always.
such a beautiful piece, runs inside my head along with my whole life.
This is my most favorite piece of music of all that I have heard in my 😊80 years of life. Thank you so very much, Nigel.
Thank you so much, Karen.
Absolutely beautiful! First heard it on Classic FM and can't understand why it hasn't been played more often
This reminds me of the great days of the British Cinema that i grew up with in the late 1940's and early 50's. At the age of 73 it's nice to come across something like this.
absolutely brilliant, I adore this piece of music. I first heard it on Classic FM, and fell in love with it.
This is wonderfully romantic yet powerful. As beautiful as Ladies in Lavender score.
First time I am listening this piece from local classical FM, 92.4 Symphony FM .... Then I tried to find it on youtube. What a beautiful arrangement of 21th century music ... May b ppl will start to look into this piece again 50 years later. This piece has abit of Rachmaninov touch .....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You Nigel Hess for breaking my heart so beautifully - conjures thoughts of a bygone time like Rachmaninov in Brief Encounter
This has been a very special piece to me for such a long time, beautifully composed and elegantly played, thank you
I Heard it today on the German classic radio and had to pull over and listen to the end I'll be a father in a few weeks And think of how it will be. I am so happy when I hear this music. It moves me to tears. The composer living genius. Thank you

I think of the Queen Mother when I hear this. It seems to be a soundtrack of her life.
Heard this on Classic FM, the show done by Prince Charles. Absolutely mesmerising - how have I got to now without knowing this stunning piece of music?
This is beautiful...... I’m now eager for a flute concerto..... haven’t looked yet to see if here is ne.
