Just discovered this in 2024. Why?! So creative , so beautiful, so full of soul, so peaceful, so….so….so…. I could go on. I close my eyes, listen, and I’m transported into a magical world of harmony and peace…..and sometimes I weep.
This song is one of my favorites that he performs. It's so great to watch him play again. It just doesn't get any better than this. The Song IS Fred Hersch.
bravo Fred Hersh, c'est magnifique, une très belle version de The Song is You, avec les prises de vues sur les vitraux, et les femmes et leurs éventails, how romantic ! love Mina
Am green with envy. Wish I could play at this level in this style. Beautifully done - rhapsodic ballad from 1932 written by Jerome Kern (music) & Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics) This is a song that used to run through my head as a young boy, occasionally attempting to sing it in operatic style.
One of the greatest and most impressive musical artists.

There is so much beauty in these few minutes that I can go on listening to this for days on end.
The guy is a genius. Pure music.
Fredi 1am
This elegant tune and sound of the piano is the reflection of personality deep inside.
On par with k Jarrett and Bill Evans in terms of lyrical playing. Pure genius
exactly correct.
I agree!
just was thinking of gleefull bill evans 'entertained' from high above (his current dwelling..)
Fred is a wonderful pianist. Any opportunity to hear him is a delight. Thank you for this upload.

2:55 very sentimental interpretation of the line “why can’t I let you know the song my heart would sing?”

I saw Fred at the Village Vanguard about eight years ago. Enjoyed!
How they did that fantastic sound of piano?
ahhh it just cut off right before I could feel the absolute end... (is there one more chord?) beautiful
... chorei
Il pianista che vorrei essere.
"Why can't I let you know?" Kern/Hammerstein asked.
Piano ecstasy.
Like Bill Evans
I agree.
He definitely "gets" the music he plays.
N’est-ce pas un concert donné à St. Émilien ?
