    The original was beautiful enough, but this piano cover gave me the chills. It really brought out the drama and melancholy of a world lost to history. It truly embodied the tragedy of Anastasia's shattered childhood.

    This piece is beautiful, it resonates and talks to me. I have listened for the 5th time and I cry every time... I am not sad, just that it tells a story without words. It's sublime and powerful at the same time. God bless you.

    Out of this world amazing arrangement. When I first heard this I thought it was two pianos layered over each other, only to find out it’s one talented pianist. How do you play those beginning notes so effortlessly?

      @emilepandolfi  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      You are so kind. So effortlessly because I am really OLD! Haha! You sort of hold your fingers over the (chord) and wiggle your wrist rather than play with each finger. Good luck! The sheet music is available , by the way, at musicnotes.com

    Anastasia is one of my most favorited films and this song haunts my very soul. Your piece just transcended me beyond the reality of my existence. It took me places in my mind that I wished to have stayed there. I am a year and few months late but I'm glad I stumbled upon this video. Thank you for putting your own perspective on this masterful song. I am forever grateful.

    I don't personally care much for Christmas or its songs, nor have I ever seen Anastasia, but Pandolfi's version of this piece must be my favorite piece of music that's ever been performed. While "less can be more", this arrangement has always shown me that out of an absolutely masterful performance, where there is "so much" to be heard, so much emotion and detail can still be heard and felt through the breathing of the tempo and certain notes accentuating themselves out of the massive waves of tonality... An infinitely complicated symphony of so many sounds, all channeled through one man, his truly masterful skill and his piano. To me, Pandolfi represents a level of musicianship that is simply awe-inspiring and unforgettable, and there will always be something about its greatness that I simply cannot find words for.
    I hope Mr. Pandolfi will have a superb Christmas. Thank you so much for moving me and lifting my spirits with this amazing performance, yet again. :)

    Thank you for creating this masterpiece for us to listen to! This is such an evocative arrangement of this song. The heart-rending sadness of unfulfilled youth is apparent in every note. Rest in peace to Anastasia and the Romanovs and thank you for creating this timeless piece of art in their memory.

    I have not watched the movie before but I know this song from random playlist on youtube while reading. The book I read was Martin Eden with the part he killed himself, then the song went on and it hit me so hard. I cried a lot, this song also becomes haunted when I think about the main character. 😢

    Incredible version. Love your bravado and mastery of the piano. This song always hits my heart deeply.
    Side note: I am watching some glistening snow fall here in Boston, and this fits the mood perfectly!

    Спасибо за прекрасное исполнение! Такая грустная мелодия, простая, но трогательная. В вашей интерпретации звучит глубже и трагичнее, чем в мультфильме.

      Спасибо за добрые слова. Это прекрасно написанная песня, и она заслуживает большого личного внимания при исполнении, чтобы почтить магию песни и трагическую историю.

    I love the representation of this piece so much!!! It's almost as if you can see the colors and stories through the notes and it's as if the sound and melody are dancing in the wind as i hear it! There's also a distinct mystery it brings to you while you listen and i find it very wonderful indeed :>> 💗💗💗
