shop.rachelflo...
Composed by Modest Mussorgsky, here performed as realized by Emerson Lake & Palmer.
Hell, most people who can see can't figure out or play this. She is simply the 8th wonder of the world here to enrich our lives. God bless you Rachel.
Carl Palmer where are you, you should accompany this girl. As ELP fans we demand it.
He is absorved by his own ego..
After hearing of Keith Emerson's passing I searched out some of his material on TH-cam and came across this talented lady. His spirit lives in her, and some more. have absolutely fallen in love with her music.
and your research would have told you Keith was her mentor.
やっぱり MOOGⅢとハモンド、アナログの世界。
それが心地良いのは全世界が知っている。それを使いこなす Rachel さん。凄いです、尊敬します。
It's so good! Every one of Rachel's videos should have a million views each.
This moved me 40 years ago - and it just did again at the hands of Rachel. Thank you.
Jeannie Flowers I have to thank you .. for sharing your daughter Rachel's wonderful interpretations.
Loved it!! Great job!! Who else is an ELP fan??
Rachel, once again you illuminate why I have always loved Emerson's chops and compositional genius. Pictures was my intro to ELP back in the day, and I was enamored from 1st listen. My Mom was/is a concert organist, so ELP held an (inevitably) overwhelming grip on me. I already loved Maurice Duruflé and Marcel Dupré, but suddenly their essence seemed to come to life in Keith in the form of rock (later to become known as prog). Again, when I hear you meticulously reinterpret his playing, it reveals-with great "naked" transparency-his mastery, and I fall in love all over again with each and every note and chord! I'm amazed at your patience with the details of his solos; not even I tried to replicate every note, but the ones I most liked. I once heard it requires brilliance to comprehend and replicate the genius of the master; the originator. Because I know his music so well-and when you're working up to the next exciting section that I'm anticipating-I'm wondering, "Will she actually cover that?!" And, of course, you always do! It's exciting! It's strange to say this, but I actually prefer hearing your quotation over the original; it reignites my seminal awe for Keith. I also adore you for embracing and performing his amazing compositions so reverently, yet having a blast with it! It's SO apparent you're having fun; your playful nature is palpable and delightful. Love the tiger hat, too!
I just saw your post after 4 yrs. I decided to read comments which I normally do not do.
Thank you for sharing. I feel Keith Emerson played by Rachel Flowers is not an impression but a reproduction so close to the original it makes one shake their head in wonder.
I am blown away by Rachel's talent and phenomenal chops.
One would be hard pressed to find anything cooler than Rachel FLowers playing PAAE in a tiger hat!
I hear others play covers of ELP, but NONE have the passion and feeling that you put into your art. You play from the heart, my dear and it certainly shows. You are a beautiful and amazing young woman that gives credence to an old southern saying "Can't never did!"
Every video I watch of yours I find myself grinning from ear to ear. I can only imagine where you'll be 10/20/30 years from now.
Much peace and happy thoughts to you and your family.
Blessed be. :)
After the sad news of Keith Emerson's passing I needed to see and here Rachel playing these great ELP classics ... Thank You. : )
+Prog X Me too... :-(
Thanks Rachel and Jeanie
chevick It helped a lot ... she is amazing ! : )
This is Petrovich Mussorgsky
I have no word.
RIP Keith.
I like how she plays both Keith and Greg parts.
Rachel you play fantastically.
I grew up loving Emerson, see you and hear you play flawlessly made me fly.
Thank you for being here.
Well here we are half way through 22 and amongst the world in the brink of global war, economy collapsing around us, global elites making their move to capture humanity, is this angelic being injecting some lost humanity in all of us.
I sincerely hope that Rachel is invited by Carl Palmer to join his Legacy tour honoring Keith ( and now Greg Lake as well), I have never heard another artist play Keith like her !!!!! Magnificent !
That would be incredible. I would love to hear them perform "Lucky man", well, just as an encore maybe
..!
Keith would be so damn proud!
looking forward to your album of original stuff.
love you, Rachel, and Jeannie. kisses.
jeanie i sincerely hope that you and your daughter rachel go on tour soon especial with the keith emerson band what an extrodinary music event it would be for elp fans not to miss.
I play drums and sing. Can't play anywhere Carl Palmer's level, but everyone tells me I do a dead ringer Greg Lake vocal. Been singing to Rachel's covers and it sounds unreal!
Dan Lum please record it and upload to TH-cam!
I discovered Rachel quite by accident, astonished by her phenomenal guitar work with Dweezil Zappa band playing "Montana" . . . had no idea of the range of her talent. She is unique, to say the least. Very cool with the Moog analog synthesizer here!
I just discovered her by accident too checking out demo videos on TH-cam of various keyboards I was pondering acquiring and found one of her at Namm playing like a banshee. I could tell she wasn’t watching her hands as she played and was blown away someone could have that level of keyboard proprioception. I realized quickly she must be blind and then read her bio on Wikipedia. I checked out a lot of her other videos. What an incredible talent.
Keith Emerson lives through Rachel. She is simply fantastic. Love the keyboard.
Hey guys, now that Keth Emerson has sadly passed, maybe you should do a tribute, especially since Rachel has known him personally. Please?
www.careaftercombat.org/event/keith-emerson-a-musical-celebration-of-his-life/
I'm just glad that in addition to quicksilver digits she also has good taste.
She should work with Carl Palmer and you won't distinguish them from ELP
That hat is amazing! and the playing too, of course
Please share Rachel's talent my friends!
goddamn ... why doesn't she just tour doing pictures at an exhibition ?????????????????????? with a little help who the hell could tell the difference !!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh that glissando was done manually? wow I always thought it was a knob turn. this is amazing.
absolute total genius
A true 'Tiger in the Spotlight'! Well-played, Rachel! When was this recorded, Jeanie? You don't still have Keith's modular there, do you? Also, Lorenzo never got back to me on that fund-raiser. He said it was upcoming, but I haven't heard from him since.
OK, great! I'll go check it out. One other thing, I just posted my drum cover to 'The Sheriff' using my drum tracks for our collaboration. Has Rachel be free at all to work on any of that yet? (I included my temple block ending to Keith's original, but I'll re-record and adjust to Rachel's tempo when the time comes). Thanks for the info!
Rachel Du bist grossartig! Mein grosses Kompliment an Dich. Ich bin völlig begeistert von dieser Improvisation. BRAVO, BRAVO!!!
Herzlichst aus Basel, Hans-Peter
Das ist keine Improvisation, sondern die ELP Version!
WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS...................................!!
Rachel is the most amazing artist,musician!! Ultimate talent!!☮️🙏
Whoa! Was listening to some Glass Hammer on iPod/phones while surfing FB but when I saw this the phones came out of iPod and straight away to iPad for Rachel. Great way to spend 14:25 of my life!
Flowers, Lake and Palmer !!!!
Le gustaría tal vez interpretar algún tema de Alberto Ginastera? Que es uno de los que más influyeron a Emerson en su forma de componer para teclado.
Muchas gracias Jeanie !
Increible Rachel. Es la interpretación más al dedillo que he escuchado. Conozco muy bien el repertorio de ELP, por años lo he escuchado, y puedo decir con propiedad que se ajusta fielmente a la versión original, la que de por si, es compleja. Del álbum "Brain Salad Surgery" .... Karn Evil 9 .. increible.
I am laughing with joy and affection, seeing/hearing this for the first time today (Jan. 17, 2020) years after it was posted. (And just the day after watching the Keith Emerson Tribute Film Premiere last night in Huntington Beach, CA. Epic.) I just love Rachel's spunky personality and sense of humor when she's stunning us with her limitless musical brilliance. Triple threat--and triple treat!
Being that this is Keith's keyboards at his house, and she has his spirit !!!
Rachel, you are awesome !!! I am so glad that someone like you is around to recreate Keith's, and ELP's music, my all time favorite band. Got to see/hear them in concert three times and am so glad for that. When I hear you it brings back many happy memories of my experiences with ELP. Please, please continue bringing us ELP fans more of their music. Thank you !!
Has been Modest Mussorgsky the Zar Nicolas ?
Mind blowing as usual, please tell Rachel I love how she truly encapsulates the essence/feel of not only Keith but the rest of the band. Thank you for sharing this, you have made this ELP/Rachel fan's day.
Rachel Flowers is awesome, and Gene Stopp does a good job controlling the Moog, as well.
Wow it is so cool to hear the keyboard by itself. makes me want to imagine the drum parts that I would play.
I don't think there is anyone who plays Keith's music with more authority than Rachel. A true musical prodigy.
For those of you who haven't seen the feature documentary about Rachel Flowers, we hope you'll check out "HEARING IS BELIEVING", a film by Lorenzo DeStefano

I laughed and cried and began to totally fall in love with her and her amazing gifts." - Malcolm McDowell
What an amazing talent. I saw ELP live back in the day. Brings back great memories. Gives Mr. Emerson a run for his money.
There's an early (1975) synth recording of Pictures at an Exhibition by Isao Tomita. This reminds me a lot of that. Something that inspired me during my mis-spent youth.

Mussorgsky LOVEs U 2!!!!!! I am so impressed by your keyboarding..would love to drum with u sometime
Loving this. One incredible artist channeling our Keith
I met him in the Six Bells pub, about 1983. He had run a marathon in aid of the Chiddingly church organ fund.
Brilliant as ever. One thing I think I notice is that bar 10 at 0:36 doesn't seem to be the same as the standard Mussorgsky score, but a quick listen to ELP confirms Rachel is playing the same as Keith. Does anybody have a transcription of the ELP score of Promenade around this point as I don't have the skill to work it out even whilst watching Rachel play the keys ?
Rachel, has anyone ever mentioned how much you resemble Keith physically?
Yes I agree. The same long fingers !
It's so mind blowing that she remembers it all and just knows by feel. Is this some kind of a gift? I am always perplexed at how she does it.
Most certainly, the absence of sight heightens the other senses, add to that the gift that God gave her of a trained ear and from a very early age the passion that touched her heart and sparked her imagination, a great story akin to those of Art Tatum, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and many others
@@stevenboyd593 Very nice reply. All the best to you Steven.
That is some Fantastic Talent! And I LOVE the hat. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
OMG, girl, um flabbergasted, cheers!
This girl might be a blind sun.
👏👏👏👏🌸🌷💐💐Fantastico Rachael, salve a memoria de Keith Emerson
I love this performance. It's somewhat true to the recording back in 1971, yet it allows Rachel's musical flavour to shine through. It made me smile. Had Keith been around I'm sure he'd be smiling as well.
FYI Kieth Emerson was rated No. 1. Not sure where. Jordan Rudess was rated second only to Kieth. Not sure where I got this info or if it is official, but it feels right to me. Also, Emerson didn't play guitar, or sing, or...well, he wrote these songs.
Rachel is just getting started.
Absolutely fantastic! Wherever Keith is, I'm sure he is proud to see his work played in such a talented way. Congrats from Brazil.
Rachel, you are such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Kieth had nothing on you. You rock! Hope to see you live 1 day
I'd like to know how somebody can remember something so complicated. I know she's blind and do this without sheet music. Another person to look up is Alma Deutscher. She composes like Mozart and she's only like in her teens.
I'm hard of hearing I listen through Bluetooth enabled hearing aids - I did a quick and dirty processing through ozone pro to hear the Moog better - maybe it will help others - far from a professional processing
I could watch and listen for hours! ... Rachel you are brilliant!
Thanks Rachel, just what I needed this morning!
Tiger in the spotlight 😉
Petrovich Mussorgsky also wore a tiger hat when he composed this. He could only dream of a MOOG
Wonderful! I loved it then, and I love it now. Great job!!!
Im so curious about her experience with pianos vs organs vs synths vs that synth wall over there
Amazing! Not even K.E. would play better! rs...Congratulations!
Incredible Rachel - one of my favourite pieces of music - beautifully played.
Es un placer escucharte ,siento una admiración o creo que es una envidia sana sobre todo por tu talento ,como quiciera yo poder tocar de esa manera tan virtuosa
Hello as a E L P fan you did exlint. Take the tiger 🐯 hat off. Love captain jack ☘️🌹☘️
Exelente interpretación de esta sensacional Rachel Flowers
Couldn't find Pictures Part 2. Looking forward to hearing it.
Well, the part of lake is also beautifully plaid!! Bravo
SOS UNA GENIA !!
DE OTRO PLANETA !!
CON ADMIRACION,
GUSTAVO DESDE ARGENTINA
Just love it , she's so Amazing !!!!!
Keith passed the baton to Rachel 🇺🇸✍️✨⚄
Nothing like grounding yourself to a bare floor with bare feet!!
Rachel: What you and your mother have allowed to be shared on TH-cam continues to be timeless. Thank you and your Mum for sharing.
Question: Who's Modular Moog is this? I know it is not The Beast, but I am curious.
This is Keith Emerson’s Moog at Gene Stopp’s house. Gene was performing maintenance on it and documenting all the custom modifications for the limited edition.
Saw them play Pictures at Newcastle City Hall. She totally does it
Que chingona eres Rachel thak you for share you art with us!!!
let's listen to 1971
She is just brilliant. God truly blessed you Rachel.
I only wish the sound quality was better.
Creci con EL&P, despues de la muerte de Keith y Greg un vacio musical quedo en mi vida. Rachel lo lleno con su frescura, talento y maravillosa destreza en los teclados. Gracias por conservar el legado de EL&P vivo para los que llegamos a los 60 años :).
With this much talent, and your love of ELP, you should look for a bass player a drummer and a singer on TH-cam and do: Virtual ELP!
Check out Virtual Zeppelin and Virtual Deep Purple, not to mention Virtual Beatles. These guys are all in different locations around the world and do "virtual" videos with each of them performing parts on some great Zep, Purple, and Beatles songs!
I bet people would trip over each other to do some ELP videos with you!!
Great idea!!! I play bass and sing and love ELP. I am all for it !! My TH-cam channel is pascalsguitar. I have recorded "the sage". Hope you will like it
I think some work from Ginastera by Rachel would greatly please both him and Keith up in heaven. Where you found your talent, dear.

the sage ...
Love the homage to Jacob Collier! You go little tiger!
Ti adoro! Sei bravissima. Keith sarà contento di te.
God help us all if she ever discovers Brian Auger!
Rachel you are a Emerson'son!!! Very very good!!! Thank you very much from Italy!
Not Emersondottir? 🤔
That was fun to watch!
Always loved this one great,love on ya Rachel
Everyone who likes this should contribute something (anything) to the documentary film. We CAN make a difference. The film needs our support. Rachel is an extraordinary musician. It's not supporting someone who plays ELP music. It's supporting a fantastic musician who needs our help to realise her full potential. Please help if only in a small way.
That bare foot after 3 min. is rather distracting.
