I just love Chopin ! My mother in law played the piano her whole life, at an age well over 90 and suffering from dementia, she still played those wonderful Chopin pieces
I have played for decades and can attest to piano "friendship". Music speaks to all of us, and to be able to make it happen at the keyboard is like, well, having a great friend.
Thank you so much, Liam...that was so beautiful. I could just keep watching you, listening to you on this summer evening. And I think your house on wheels for your piano is superb. You play piano so well, and have engineering skills as well. Blessings and Bonne Chance!
I’ve always enjoyed a pianists playing complicated music in any venue malls, airports or concert halls. Granted the sound is completely different when comparing an airport then say the Disney concert hall. Music is the gateway to your heart and soul it’s priceless and unforgettably nourishes our understanding of gods influences in our everyday life. Listen up folks don’t miss out on some very talented individuals.
It is so great to have a portable piano that you can bring with you anywhere and spread the beautiful music. Music is good for being and bring people together.😍
Beautiful piece and the sentiments explained so well by Liam, I'm a big fan of Chopin and this was a heartfelt rendition and brought tears to my eyes......thank you Liam 👏👏👏❤
Music is meant to touch the Heart...and it does like nothing else. But when the Composer puts to pen what They're feeling and it transmits thru the Player - that's MAGIC. Liam - what a SPIRIT!!! BRILLIANT!!!
Some composers - like Mozart and Ravel - brings you closer to heaven. Chopin brings you closer to yourself. Lovely played, Liam - I loved your beautiful rendition. 🙂❤❤❤
The magic of the piano is that it is pre-tuned. Pitch is irrelevant. I had my attention drawn to this because I became acquainted with violinists. Nuff said.
"żal" was the word. Indeed it has a somewhat broader meaning and can encompass "sorrow", "sadness", "longing", "grief", "yearning", "remorse", etc.. AFAIK Chopin did miss Poland and this nocturne sounds like many evenings spent in a familiar, yet unfamiliar country, and being homesick.
It's beautiful played, very emotional. I loved Chopin, studied and played a lot in exams. His compositions are not easy. This man plays it intens emotional. Beautiful.......
It's a funny thing you say about not easy. I am learning Chopin's Nocturne in c minor posthumus. It looks so very easy and this music is anything but easy. I find the beauty of the voicings and melodies emotionally distracting as I lose my mind in them sometimes. It is very demanding to play.
Master composers know how to move your emotions. Most of the people there won't know anything about music but it doesn't matter. They know its a story being told and they understood it. Music is the ultimate art and Liam played it beautifully. Chopin would of loved it.
I would love to hear this and other complete pieces by Liam with no commentary or interruptions by anyone. If anyone knows of them, please post the link. Thank you.
Good day nice people. 0:00 The pianist has touched my soul/heart/spirit so gentle with his great performance, I'm deeply moved. THANK YOU SIR LIAM. Very FrGr from Nederland
Well as we mature things can get a bit harder so I looked at it been a compliment. Brought a tear to my eye. Sounds lovely not that I am a pianist or a good speller, but you know what I mean.❤😊
I’m 75 and still play drums for rock n roll and modern country music. The last gig I played I was at least 35 years older than the rest of the band. Do a TH-cam search, ‘The Soothsayers’. That was me 60 years ago…
I've been listening to Chopin for 2 days straight on Apple Music. It's my fav. composer and Claude Debussy! Most of these musicians starved to death and became famous after. Being a musician is THE most novel profession. Most of them have to do something else to survive and it's tougher when you have a family to feed.
Chopin was an aristocrat living in Paris he certainly wasn't poor! He'd charge extortionate sums for piano lessons, concerts and publications of his music
@Bethi4WFH. you obviously are young or insensitive!!! He is 71 years old. This amazing man is so gifted!!. God bles him for sharing his music with us😊🇲🇽
His playing reminds me of Brigitte Engerer; she also played these pieces with a kind of calm consideration, sort of thinking and feeling it note by note instead of overseeing the piece as a whole. I love that style.
@@chriscambe unskilled is incredibly harsh. Come on...that piece is not an easy nocturne to play. You're making him sound like he hasn't got a clue how to play. Agree that that comparison to Brigitte Engerer is farfetched but you're being brutal for the sake of trolling.

"for someone who doesn't know Chopin" I think he understands the composer very well. I was a professional classical musician and played with some greats. I think the professional rarely know the heart of Chopin, they are mostly bombastic for show and not so soulful.
You could tell by the little scale he played at 2:14 that he would be pretty good. But that polyrhythmic passage in the opening section of the nocturne threw him a bit. Hard to play an odd number of notes over an even number in the baseline and make it sound free and natural. He’s Very musical. He was probably a fine jazz and pop player back in the day.
BRAVO LIAM ! RESPEKT für dein alter und dein KÖNNEN! ..... und so klingen meine 'welthits auf der mundharmonika': klicke meinen button, 14 videos. ÜBRIGENS, ich bin 83.
Absolutely gripping! Some years ago, one of the great violinists (sorry!) set up in a New York subway. I will never forget the busy mom who dragged her little girl along who GOT it! So sad! My measure for all piano is Glenn Gould, who may be the spiritual opposite of "romantic" Chopin. But if "Goldberg Variations" comes on some broadcast somewhere, no matter background noise or circumstances, I will sit up and listen: that's Glenn Gould!
I believe it was Joshua Bell and I do remember that video. The narrator mentioned how many people rushed by and didn’t know that people were paying hundreds of dollars that night to hear him in concert.
@@hjusn Yes! Joshua Bell! Thanks! It seemed so clear to me that that one little girl had the instinct to be captivated, and Mom just dragged her away. I was a bit of a musical child-star singer (long story), and one time I was next to a juke box in a pizza place and this little girl came up and started singing HARMONIES. I spoke to her parents along the lines of, that's really special. They looked at me like I was a freak. No interest.p.s. Worst scenario: they made fun of her for not singing the tune!
Sounds like Lang lang is not very impressed. His comments are basically saying “not that good…. Too amateur”. Too bad because I really enjoyed the man’s interpretation.
Great music ! I am 92 and still play my Yamaha each day and once a month for all the residents in my old age home 🎵🎶🎹🎼🎵🪗🎹🎹🎹
Wow, warms my heart!
Bless you!

@@MogensDam People like you put humanity into the word human.
You can feel that this gentleman plays from his soul. Utterly beautiful and extremely moving performance.
I just love Chopin ! My mother in law played the piano her whole life, at an age well over 90 and suffering from dementia, she still played those wonderful Chopin pieces
Thank you Mr. Liam for your moving rendition of Chopin's Nocturne. Blessings and Best Wishes! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️💐
" The Piano a a great friend, not always an easy, buy a great friend" Wonderful

"Music played with heart transcends... " perfect way to describe musicians who can do this, they are in a league of their own.
Agree. You can feel the emotion just in the first few notes.
Translating emotions through music is very important ♥️
Can we talk about how powerful this performance is? Age doesn’t even matter when the music speaks this deeply! 💯🎶

Vielen Dank, Liam, dass du dein Talent mit uns allen teilst. Ein wunderbares Beispiel dafür, dass in jedem von uns Kreativität steckt.
What a moving performance Liam. Played from the heart. I think Chopin would have approved.
Thank you so much. Oh yeah great piano hut!
He has a great heart and an ability to share his love and passion for music....Thank you ❤

Chopin shakes my soul man, simply beautiful
What emotion! What simplicity...what an experience!
Melodious Sound! You have to feel when he plays his music. Captivated!
Music is meant to touch the Heart...and it does like nothing else. But when the Composer puts to pen what They're feeling and it transmits thru the Player - that's MAGIC. Liam - what a SPIRIT!!! BRILLIANT!!!
Some composers - like Mozart and Ravel - brings you closer to heaven.
Chopin brings you closer to yourself.
Lovely played, Liam - I loved your beautiful rendition. 🙂❤❤❤
What a truly lovely guy. absolutely loved watching this.
The piano is a great friend. Not an easy friend but a great friend!!
The magic of the piano is that it is pre-tuned. Pitch is irrelevant. I had my attention drawn to this because I became acquainted with violinists. Nuff said.
his explanation of 'jael' was incredibly insightful. well played as well

I could listen to that wonderful man all day x👏🙌🙏
One of faves: Chopin's.
I don't & won't get tired listening over & over & over again
Wow so beautiful. I could feel the sadness from his performance. Absolutely amazing good job sir
people who listen to music smile! Thank you!
Beautiful performance, sharing your heart can change peoples lives .
Loved the pianist, loved the crowds responde,and always love hearing fron Lang Lang. Thank you
Music holds emotion expresses emotion frees emotion.
I would love to hear this and other complete pieces by Liam with no commentary or interruptions by anyone. If anyone knows of them, please post the link. Thank you.
Thank you Sir. I just couldn’t scroll on until the end. Beautiful
Someone who understands Chopin.
Music lives in that man. Amazing.
Breathtaking beautiful. Thank you Mr.Liam!
Love it. Loved a great 71 year old Liam!

Who is he? Whoever he is, his character needs bottling. What a wonderful humane man. What wonderful music. It brought tears to my eyes.
Well as we mature things can get a bit harder so I looked at it been a compliment.

Sounds lovely not that I am a pianist or a good speller, but you know what I mean.❤😊
Beautifully played. Thanks for sharing. ❤ I really appreciated what you shared about how music affects you. I can relate.

Thank you for the video. This was a very beautifully played piece, I enjoyed it very much.
The artist as well as the piece is what made people stop and appreciate this wonderful man. 71? Not in his heart 😊
This was a beautiful thing that happened. He was unique to bring this piano to wherever he needs too.
So good, wonderful that he takes his piano with him , live hopin
It is an authentic deep feeling emotional interpretation

Really could do without the commentary whilst he is playing........frankly, quite intrusive. Should be done afterwards.
Correct about talking from the Peanut Galllery during the performance.
@Bethi4WFH. you obviously are young or insensitive!!! He is 71 years old. This amazing man is so gifted!!. God bles him for sharing his music with us😊🇲🇽
It was beautiful and emotional! ❤
Beautiful musicality .... thank you 😊😢😊
*Żal indeed means sorrow* It can be "beautiful sorrow" depending on context.
He plays beautifully; Nur das Reine im Herzen kann eine gute Suppe machen = Only the pure in the heart can make a good soup. ― Ludwig van Beethoven.
Im 70 and still play the fool 🎉😂
Beautiful ❤
Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd.
I’ve had my piano for 65 years.
His playing reminds me of Brigitte Engerer; she also played these pieces with a kind of calm consideration, sort of thinking and feeling it note by note instead of overseeing the piece as a whole. I love that style.
It does!
comparing a great pianist to an unskilled amateur….
Yeah… that’s a bit too far sorry

It's the same piece that amazing Lucy played in Series 1, which initially won them both over. And Liam plays it beautifully, as did Lucy
Gracias

Beautiful and emotional 😢
Great play by Liam, playedd from the soul. Curious about the stunning beauty at 6:02 as well
Beautiful 💚💚💚💚💚 playing with soul…..
Oh my, I love that neighborhood of red brick houses ❤
All I could think of when he was talking about making his piano mobile was "Makin' my way downtown....Faces pass and I'm homebound...."
I need to meet this man!!!
The timing is the way it is written. Chopin knew he was dying young of tuberculosis. I believe he was 33 yrs old when he died. He was penniless.
Watch it twice; thank you. God bless.
This is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Simply beautiful

Bravo!!! Belsissimo!!!!❤❤
Amazing
Chopin is my favorite. i can play this Nocturn on classical guitar.
He has played Chopin for more than sixty years. Can you explain why he should stop at seventy?
WOW !! WOW !! BELLISIMO 🎉
Why do you guys talk over the music ?
Hehehe 😂
Sounds like Lang lang is not very impressed. His comments are basically saying “not that good…. Too amateur”. Too bad because I really enjoyed the man’s interpretation.
I’m 71 and I have my cho-pot. He is doing better with his Chopin
Lovely! Brilliant!
This masterpiece was played by Lucy (the blind girl) too last season… 😊
I cried for no reason watching this video. So poignant !
Cuando haces lo que amas ,solo puedes se feliz.
