I like the fact, that music can be given the honor of being "crossed over", this time, to a people who would normally frown upon "Dance Music" as a whole. This is a complicated song to play, being that most of is it processed and cut up sections of parts.
@Krimewave186 Agreed. He used some of the original chords, and then did his own thing with it. If I wasn't lucky enough to hear the classic, sublime genius of the original, I wouldn't have been encouraged to listen to it, from what I'm hearing here.
listened to it a lot of times, knowing the timeless masterpiece from Detroit legend Derrick may. i am of the opinion Francesco has made it well, he played it very soulful and complete with own interpreted parts, so what i think he´s a truly respectful Person, no one here should talk in a negative way... thx 4 this mighty eargasm
I hope someone writes an arrangement of strings of life for a full orchestra one day. Perhaps it would be a nice project for derrick himself. It would be awesome to hear those strings.
Totally agree. I play the piano (after a fashion..bit of a learner really) and to see and hear this is really something special. I never really rated Strings of Life...just didn't really appeal to me. But this performance shows that there is much more to the track than I ever realised. This guy not only is a very accomplished player; he has real rhythm; something that many classical (dots on a page) players lack.
If an artist likes your music well enough to even try to cross it over to an audience that only apprieciate classical piano, I say, good luck to him! He did aa good job!
Lol it only took near 40 years to make this claim ? He said he could use the rif, get facts right, there was no contract or agreement, they were just jamming and may told him he liked it and was allowed to use it,
Whats the big deal about a pianist playing this track?? Now he is a genius for playing this track? Oh come on any pianist in this world could play this piece. The big deal is the track, the creation of it. Coming on stage and doing a cover of it... just vulgar..
spidirr1 The creation of the track was a big deal, sure. But this is a beautiful interpretation of it and worth admiration. It brings out how ethereal and how deep-in-your-soul-euphoric Derrick's piano riff really is.
+spidirr1 yes, maybe any pianist could play this. but the fact is that only francesco realsed this song in this way. maybe you should hear the whole album not for piano. he took some electronic songs and cover them. the bells is even better than the original version imo

lui è uno spettacolo !!
guaaaaauuuu!!! me facinó!!!
Look at the interviews of "Derrick May" here on "TH-cam" about how the song came about, then you might give this version it's props..
ABSURDOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
+Laura Zarate maravilloso!!
BEAUTIFUL!!
I quite like this interpretation.
Derik may is the new mozart
He sampled the piano, Derricks part was the drums and synths.
@@turn1210 Derrick didn't sample the piano. He sequenced the piano from his friend at the time, Michael James.
Ridiculous, simple and ignorant comment.....Derick is a legend but he's no Mozart.
I hope someone writes an arrangement of strings of life for a full orchestra one day. Perhaps it would be a nice project for derrick himself. It would be awesome to hear those strings.

Yeah but this re-interpretation is very very good. It's also good because it shoulded be very hard to find the way how to play it on a piano only.
He is a... Luxembourger!
giganto!
~well done!!!
yo c loubna, j'adore
This artist really knows his instrument, challenging and entertaining.
@sushilaGirl No he is playing Strings Of Life by Rhythm Is Rhythm. The version you speak of is a terrible cover version that disrespects the original.
でちゃったぁ～｜tristano ！！
またwombでこれやっちゃうのかな～～～！！
this is called innovative expression
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Al dente❤
@badgers1975 agreed mate, except that it's a Techno track, not House. pedantic I know, but credit where it's due.
久しぶりに音楽を聴いたよ。
If an artist likes your music well enough to even try to cross it over to an audience that only apprieciate classical piano, I say, good luck to him!
He did aa good job!
Is that an Apollo A30 Piano?
chicago?
bringing house music to the classical world so old bitty's can dance too....
The original house heads are old!!!And we can still dance.!!!
@@Procharmo ain't house, Techno music. House come from chicago, smoothy
WOWWWWWWW

liebe locken lasst mich lachen, süsse locken, süsse locken.
Syd Barrett incarnate
Derrick May .. wouldn't know how to play it🙌original is Michael James....Derrick just took the credit...and pressed some buttons 😎
Lol it only took near 40 years to make this claim ? He said he could use the rif, get facts right, there was no contract or agreement, they were just jamming and may told him he liked it and was allowed to use it,
@sushilaGirl
bullshit. This is Detroit Techno 1987!
je m'appelle bertille
1500 i made it . interesting cover .
Simon Amstell can play...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It just sounds like noise.
Ooooh sub zero
meh, danced to the original release. He's royally misinterpreting it.
I "royally" disagree.
@MrJohn8912
Learn to speak before you talk.
fancy suit, fancy piano but playing a shitty copy of the original track made over 20 years ago
it is actually the original score

Dear the Point is.. he can play this but also a gaspard de La nuit as well.. he is what we only could wish about a modern artist
beautiful
Awesome !
