Mr Parrino, I have just turned 74 and acquired a piano for the first time since I stopped playing when I was twelve years old (I started at six), because I joined the school orchestra and played a tuba. I was originally taught by the most incredible teacher from the Royal College of Music in London. Every lesson I had with him, he made me place a British crown coin on the back of each hand while I played, keeping my arms and wrists parallel to the keyboard. His point was that one must NEVER drop one's wrists while playing. Since that time (the 1950's), as I now watch on TV, I am horrified at the many pianists who don't know how to carry their arms and hands!! And then, I just discovered your TH-cam videos this evening (August 28th 2020), and I am almost in tears as I watch you. Your arms and wrists are so totally parallel to the keyboard. Your playing is breathtaking!! You must be extremely proud of your achievements. You are a total joy.
So having had lessons from 6 to 12 has made you judge people playing piano for 60 years? Regardless of the validity of the technique advice, that's messed up
@@bramjochems2182 I don’t think plutoman46 was judging anyone but simply just stating that it made him or her sad to see the style of playing slowly go away. Don’t be a snowflake.
The days when your new posts come out, Francesco, are the brightest days of all...even when the sky is dark with clouds. This day is one of the brightest.
Your emotion and everything to your expression as you go through each phase of the songs made it and gave me goosebumps throughout. After the magic of some chords, I would have to close my eyes with a gentle smile and do nothing but feel the beautiful energy in my body. Thank you for creating and sharing these 3 minutes of magic.
Hello Francesco, I love your sensitive keystroke. It's great that you are so talented and therefore don't have to concentrate on which key to press when, but how to press it. That's really what makes your playing so special. All the best for you.
I can hear Elton John's singing! That's when I know a cover is good, when I can hear the singer's voice throughout your playing, you did a great job 😊❤️👍
Thank You, that was one of my favorite songs....Brought back some wonderful memories. Elton John really had some great songs that I never get tired of. Hey, love the Steinway...beautiful instrument.
Ciao Francesco! Quanta passione metti!!! E che talento!!!Sei BRAVISSIMO!!!! Meriti lungissimi aplausi! A volte mi dai i brividi!!!! Buona domenica!!🌹❤️🌹👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹❤️🌹🍀🍀
Fantastic choice Francesco !! Last year I was lucky enough to experience Sir Elton’s first Goodbye Yellow Brick Road concert in Australia in Perth Western Australia, 3000 kms from my Tasmanian home. This was the final piece in the concert (& for him his very first & most liked hit). He had the whole stadium singing it as we left !! Thanks for capturing it’s magic, especially for us in this incredible year. 👍👌🇦🇺
You perform this piece with such deep feeling. Pardon the expression, but you make love to that piano. I've been trying to mimic you while practicing it even going so far as playing along in sequence. I have had limited training and/or instruction, something I often regret that I missed from my youth but I was also learning three other instruments which I no longer play. I envy you and always look forward to your new releases. God bless you Francesco for you're feeding the world with beautiful music.
You are incredibly gifted. The emotion that goes into your playing & you make it look so easy. I'd love to hear you cover Our House, Nobody Does it Better & Nothing Compares to You.
Non mi crederai. Dopo un periodo difficilissimo torno casa, 42 anni quasi, compro un piano, strumento che avrei sempre voluto imparare a suonare. Becco un tuo video ( My Immortal) e ora non mi stacco più dallo sgabello. Lontano anni luce dalla tua bravura....ma ci provo 😁
Ich hab mir das so gewünscht, danke!! 😍 Ich bin völlig überwältigt, danke danke! Sry, this was German, i said: I so wished, you would play this,, thank you!! 😍 I'm completely overwhelmed,, thank you thank you!
You are such and inspiration to me. I love how you play. I was going to quit playing piano but I watched 1 of your videos and i decided not to. Keep playing I hope u make it to 1M subs so every1 can enjoy your music.
Hi Francesco....I hope that you and your family are well. This is a beauiful song and one that I was hoping you would one day play a cover. First class.... kind regards.... John.... Manchester.
I woke up this morning to see you had posted your version of this song. It's absolutely beautiful and is such a grand tribute to a man who has given so much of the past half a century. All I can do is thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Se si ascolta con attenzione ogni esecuzione in cui emerge, secondo me, un talento enorme, per la naturalezza con cui escono armonie e dettagli, può capitare di chiedersi se non siano i brani originali a essere cover di questi... 😀
Io purtroppo non sono un esperto di musica e mi piacerebbe molto, un mondo complesso, pieno di disciplina, di sacrifici, ma che penso ripaghi ogni volta dopo le prime note. Oramai ho ascoltato tutte le interpretazioni, e da non esperto ci sento una tecnica estrema, un talento che esce da ogni accordo e variazione e una passione e un coinvolgimento che a volte devono essere tenute a freno per esigenze di attinenza allo spartito. Ma poi si riprende il viaggio... I complimenti (l'ammirazione e l'invidia) non saranno mai abbastanza

wow
I agree you should play like a bridge over troubled water by Simon Garfunkel.
My favorite Elton John song for 50 years. Your rendition is the most brilliant I have ever heard.

Lovely comment 👍

@@bramjochems2182 does it matter as long as you enjoy it ... just enjoy yourself it’s later than you think 👍

This guy makes me genuine happy in my heart. Legend.
Your arrangements are just overwhelming, magnificent - you are such a gifted creative pianist !
You're just amazing. Sir Elton John would be proud💫
Few people achieve this level of perfection on the piano. Hope you continue. The Steinway really sounds wonderful under your command! Thanks so much!
Incredibly beautiful!! I truly enjoy your recordings.

Your genius, your passion, your fingers, your piano, your interpretation... Your song!
Eine wunderbare Komposition von einem Pianisten gekonnt gespielt.
Your emotions,your feelings...everything is expressed in your songs...keep sharing your talent with us...you're amazing Francesco 🇳🇱
Francesco, you have no idea how much pleasure your playing gives to me. Thank you so much.
I can only describe this in a word..... PERFECTION.😊
You should play “Bridge over troubled water” by Simon and Garfunkel, it would sound amazing!
Dan Coates, like many of his compositions, has an excellent arrangement of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for advanced pianists.
Just say Simon. Garfunkel contributed nothing as far as writing goes.
@@lewisgottschalk2178 do you happen to have a link to Dan Coates sheet music?
@@LobotomyMeat the "by" indicates that Simon and Garfunkel sang the song. I can really tell you hold a massive grudge on Art Garfunkel, lmao
I second that

Listening to your piano sound before going to bed is my night routine.....
Your talent is healing. Speaks to one's soul.
You and that piano compliment each other very well...This was so sweetly played...Thank you for your time, talent and treasure...
"How wonderful life is while you're in the world ". Thank you Francesco. ♥♥♥ Love and blessings from Canada.
AMAZING. 😍 Wow... I don't know what to say, you're just incredible. Please don't ever stop playing the piano.

So much nicer than a digital piano.
Awesomely fantastic 😘 love the full body view. You're so masterfully GIFTED and thank you for sharing it with us🙏🏽❣🙏🏽🌹🙏🏽

You so amazing! So Nice! I'm from Brazil ❤️
Great Pianist ! I love your fingers !
Increíble ! impresionante !
como toca el piano y el sentimiento que tiene !
