Four dislikes? What the hell is wrong with people? This is wonderfully interprative, virtuoso playing of a keyboard and piano master's legacy. I wonder if Keith ever knew how much he was truly influential on so many other players the world over like Thierry here? His interpretation of Keith's beautiful piano melodies are particularly breathtaking. To have lost Greg Lake so closely after Keith's suicide was a blow upon a bruise. It is very hard to comprehend that we will never again see such a musical force as Emerson Lake & Palmer...
The ratio for brilliant performances is always about 50 likes to 1 dislike. Horowitz, Rostropovich, Keith himself, MLK Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, doesn't matter. Sometimes it's 100-1, sometimes 40-1, but there are always dislikes. Just laugh at them for they, for their inability to appreciate greatness, are the losers.
I can't stop commenting here, but come on... this ensemble is utterly magnificent. The piano playing is particularly miraculous, full of the most wonderful 'outside' lines and beautiful structures. I like all the ELP tributes but this is exemplary. Prog masterpieces performed in the most charming way imaginable.
I'm not a big Keith Emerson fan and the ELP songs that I like are all Greg Lake compositions. This is not a critique of Mr. Emerson's music, just a comment on my musical preferences. The exception is Trilogy, which, with a few edits could challenge Close to the Edge as the greatest progressive rock piece ever. So I'm always looking for an interpretation of this piece to take it over the top. I may never find it, but the performance here is very good. The singer should take lessons from the old Motown performers. Never close your eyes when you sing.
You're totally right ! Thierry Eliez is gorgeous ! lots of new extracts with the manticore string quartet and ceilin Poggi are here th-cam.com/channels/2LEvVEPzVOtFhHYdBMkS6Q.html
I don't have any relevant comment to make, but Greg Lake, like Thierry Eliez & guests and ELP's music, have only a rather distant link with the - brilliant - music & songs produced by Motown. There are so many sidetracks, and this one is one that takes us as far as any I've known and followed with passion.
Oh my God!!!!! This is beyond amazing. WTF??? The way he plays around with the compositions , seamlessly moving from improv to exact readings of the scores and then subtlety manipulating their harmonies and syncopating their rhythms while singing on top of it is stunning. I'm sorry it took 4 years for TH-cam to bring this performance to my attention.

Magnifique!

Stunning!
J'ai grandi en écoutant ELP et leur musique a marqué ma vie. écouter ces chansons est toujours excitant pour moi, surtout avec une merveilleuse interprétation comme celle-ci !!
This is absolutely fantastic! It's funny how sometimes real artists must change the original a bit in order to keep its "inner" untamed spirit! I prefer these renditions over any "dogmatic" cover of the original tracks. Bravissimo!
I love how Thierry fused Hoedown with Rondo....This guy deserves all the praise you can give. I've followed Thierry for many years. A Top Player.....Any one who gave a thumbs down....take off your blinkers.....it's an Homage to Keith.....You sad people.
Some new videos with strings are now availaible on the official page of Thierry Eliez th-cam.com/channels/2LEvVEPzVOtFhHYdBMkS6Q.html - Just amazing !!!
Magnifique hommage , Thierry , merci , ta voix est magnifique et ta façon de jouer du piano est grandiose , émouvante , digne du grand Keith, bises de gusse
Queste del pianista Thierry Eliez sono le più belle interpretazioni che abbia mai ascoltato delle magnifiche musiche di Emerson e Lake! Non semplici "riproduzioni" di spartiti, ma personalissime letture che, se possibile, ne esaltano la bellezza!!! Atmosfere fantastiche!!!
I Don t know if others are the same as me but when I watch a movie of any kind , I listen to the background music that really intensifies the mood or action in the movie ! Keith has been involved in so many soundtracks to bring out the best during a moment of emotion or intense action . Keith Emerson is and was forever my favorite keyboardist . God bless his soul , Greg Lake too of course ! What a trio ELP was and will never be forgotten ! 🙏🙏 What glorious music to my ears !
What a wonderful Holiday Gift, discovering this gem tonight. Monsieur Eliez is a revelation. How wonderful in that, this past year, I have been returning to ELP time and time again -- especially Keith's Piano Concerto No. 1 -- and the musicianship and quality of the music has filled me with such wonder and joy. And now, this. Music: the gift that keeps on giving, for generations, for all time. Thank you for this homage. It really hits the spot.
This fellow is absolutely brilliant. There aren't many acts that I'd pay to watch these days but if we ever get out of house arrest, I would definitely go to see Thierry.
my jaw is below the floor. Thierry is absolutely incredible. the whistle at "Enigma" ending was fantastic. "The Endless Enigma" has always been very special to me. the chords Keith played would strike an emotion in me I can't explain. I will forever be grateful to Keith Emerson for exposing me to European classical music. and jazz.
Bravo , félicitations Thierry , pour cette version , magnifique , au piano ! et avec au chant un bel hommage à Greg Lake , et que dire de Palmer (quel batteur !!! d'une grande musicalité !!! merci thierry
What a way to recreate Keith's compositions! There's no words to describe my pleasure hearing this! Really want to see Thierry live, and of course Jean & Den !

A huge smile as the maestro Listens to these magnificent improvised compositions of his work beautifully played. Thank-you Thierry Eliez for making my Christmas day.
WOW ! Just Wow !! Keith would be proud 🎹🎶💖 And beautiful vocals.... Greg would also be proud 🎤🎸💔😢.The music of these 2 geniuses and Carl Palmer will live on forever 🎼🎶
What a magnificent musician this guy is. His subtle changes to the originals are sublime and really add to the effect. I hope we see and hear a lot more of him!
Simply wonderful. You sing it so well. You play it so well. A re-discovery of so beloved classicals. Every Jazzman scoffed at me, and as a jazzman I was ashamed loving Keith's music. I can see I was wrong. Emerson is one one my favorite composer, just next to Chopin, Tatum ...
What is amazing with Emerson is that although I played and studied a lot of music, especially piano music, especially jazz pianists, I cannot transcribe or play all these songs by ear. I can replay instantly almost any music, except Emerson : chords or modulations from Bach, Chopin, Tatum, Peterson, McCoy are easy to grab for me. But I cannot figure out what Emerson plays though I know him by heart. And even if I know one song, the next one is a totally new challenge. Understanding Tarkus doesn't give you any clue for Endless Enigma or Karn Evil part 2, for instance. Almost each time, it's like if you were facing a new composer. In this respect Emerson is the most inspired musician of all time, maybe the only one who NEVER repeated himself. (I must quote the Beatles, in this case as well, but they were 2 to compose, at least !). At the Conservatory, in Paris, we study the styles : Bach, Mozart, Ravel Faure. Those who invented something which was fairly adopted by other composers : Beethoven listened to Mozart. Parker listened to Tatum. A style is something you can recognise instantly. For Emerson it's not really true, even if his harmonies are his blueprint. What's the link between Tarkus, Hang to a dream, Pirates, Close to Home, Trilogy ? Who would bet or guess it's the same composer on first listen ? Any musican, and composers especially, should study Emerson. MY CALL : It's too bad we cannot find all the scores of Emerson. How did you learn those songs ? Did you find all the scores ? Some had never been published I think. This must change : we want, we need the Emerson Book : we need all the stuff he wrote, all the stuff he played (especially piano impro live) : with the Nice, with ELP, the orchestral scores : we want the piano concerto, Pirates, Works. We want everything. Please...
The jazz guys need to understand their contribution to music has helped others develop their own style. The fruits of their tree are there for the picking.
Fabulous...I'm only 6 and a half mins in and its like hearing Tarkus for the first time all over again. Thierry Eliez's interpretations and playing abilities are nothing short of Miraculous!
Great music is meant to be interpreted How inspiring How this young phenom, who wasn't even born when Tarkus was released, can generate so much passion
Magnifique concert, c'est très pro, virtuosité, chant, son, harmonies, prises de vues, interprétation etc. Thierry Eliez est vraiment un mec très doué, et apparemment il n'a pas la grosse tête. Pour ceux qui n'aimaient pas trop Emerson Lake and Palmer dans les seventies (et j'en suis), Thierry arrive à sublimer cette musique. Bravo.
superbe prestation de la part de Thierry Eliez , car il faut le faire ..ensuite Hommage quasiment religieux a notre héros Keith Emerson qui nous a tant donné ...MERCI Thierry et du haut du Ciel Keith vous béni car ...tout est beau , tes harmonies , la voix subtile et hyper juste , la fugue jazz est sublime ,le trio logy trop beau ! très grand hommage à notre J.S Bach des temps modernes ...dont tu es le plus fervent représentant par cette éblouissante , généreuse et fervente prestation , ta sensibilité , ta créativité et ta virtuosité nous fait entrevoir un autre aspect sur l’œuvre de Keith Emerson ........question : ou sont les producteurs de disques ? .....Thierry Eliez mérite un immense soutien ..votre soutien ..qu'il puisse graver ces moments magnifiques de musique ! , les prises de vues sont aussi très belles et les "guests " a la hauteur ..Merci encore ....Mario Vilas .
Merci Beaucoup !! Nous vous avons écouté, vous tous passionnés, qui avez écrit votre admiration et adoré ce concert époustouflant de Thierry Eliez. L' album est enfin prêt, avec de sublimes arrangements pour piano, quatuor à cordes et voix !! EMERSON ENIGMA sortira Le 16 Septembre 2022... et des concerts à venir en 2022/23 !! N'hésitez pas à vous abonner aux Pages insta, facebook et TH-cam de Thierry Eliez pour être les premiers informés. On compte sur vous tous pour le soutenir à la hauteur de ce qu'il nous offre si généreusement.
a Documentary about Jaco Pastorius brought me here! Fantastic Interpretations of Emerson's work - which always had a Latin American tinge to it...after all - Keith covered Alberto Ginastera's "Toccata" !
Absolutely outstanding. I discovered recently that maybe Emerson was a little influenced by George Gershwin. Both incredible musicians. As is Thierry and friends.
Si arriva ad oltrepassare un limite di talento e bravura che poi è impossibile dire (per me) chi sia più o meno infinitamente bravo. Thierry è lì con Keith e tanti\pochi altri. Grazie
Cet artiste inspiré pouvait jouer de tous les instruments possibles et imaginables tellement sa maîtrise était intense. Les sons dégégés fusionnent une poésie évocatrice et rêveuse et nous nous trouvons là face à un chef-d'œuvre de la musique du monde. Merci à Thierry Eliez pour ce délicieux hommage !
Conservo il ricordo di averlo ascoltato, al piano e all'Hammond, al teatro Verdi di Sassari insieme a Dee Dee Bridgewater. Nel momento dei doverosi complimenti nel camerino gli dissi che suonava meglio di Emerson ma egli, ammiratore del grande Keith, non ne volle sentire e mi riportò sul palco, riaccese l'Hammond e mostrandomi il posizionamento originale delle drawbars di Karn Evil9 - 1, ne suonò, solo per me, circa 1 minuto: era (è) proprio innamorato di Keith. Grande Thierry!
Merci Marc d'avoir contribué au superbe travail de Keith Emerson et bravo pour ce que vous avez fait. Ca n'existe plus aujourd'hui comme ca. J'ai lu que vous aviez également filmé le groupe. Pouvez vous nous donnez des liens, je serais heureux de voir votre travail.
@@tstop8 Son technicien, vous devez être Marc-André Berthiaume, j'ai vu souvent votre nom et vous devez avoir tellement de beaux souvenirs. Quel chanceux vous êtes !
COUP de chapeau au TRITON pour faire jouer une telle bonne musique ! Tout à votre honneur ! Au plaisir peut être un jour, qui sait, de jouer chez vous !
Bravo..Magnificent..a tour de force.Take it on the road I'll be there in a heartbeat. Kieth Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer live on in your performance.
Merci beaucoup. Magnifique!!! Endless Engima est ma préféré!!! ... Après écoute au complet, tout ce qu'il joue est sublime!!!! Trilogy, très bon aussi!!!!!
Avez vous entendu ce projet avec le quatuor à cordes ??? Sublimissime ! C'est sur la page de Thierry Eliez th-cam.com/channels/2LEvVEPzVOtFhHYdBMkS6Q.html
I hadn't seen this. This is easily the best hommage to Keith ever. But it's so short! I would have liked it to go on for three or four hours more. Thanks to everyone involved
J'ai vraiment aimé cette interprétation et la sensibilité de Thierry Eliez vraiment dans l'esprit de Keith Emerson tout en le revisitant. C'est très musical, les accents sont superbes, la dextérité est là et la voix est tres expressive et sensible. Bravo et merci.
Indeed. It seems to me, in addition, that the renditions here of Trilogy and Jeremy Bender capture the expressive potential of the compositions in ways the original renditions never matched. In the latter case, it strikes me as a considerable improvement, perhaps not quite to the degree of the "Joe Cocker : With a little Help from my Friends" cover, but I always felt the original KE JB was only partially successful - as with the rest of side 2, it was hard to escape the feeling that creative energies had been drawn down so much by the titanic Tarkus side 1, that they were, I dunno, squeezing them out when these tracks were recorded?
Excelente músico!!! el lenguaje musical es aún más contemporáneo que el que usara el maestro Keith Emerson.....Además, las armonías de Jazz, sabiamente utilizadas, le dan a esta interpretación un carácter creativo sorprendente!!!!! La cantante y el cellista que se acoplan también son magníficos...

WHY CONCENTRATE ON THE NEGATIVE.
Well said.
you better focus yourself on the positive reactions...
just poor people; DANTE said: Non ragioniam di lor, ma guarda e passa (Let's not talk about them, but look and pass over)

Thank you very much for this. This comment should have more likes.
You are sure that it is Aziza Poggi....
The final phrase and notes are actually the end of Tarkus -- very cool.
What a brilliant composer and musician Keith was ... and so truly and authentic performed by Mr Thierry Eliez...superb..

this is how Keith would of wanted his compositions improvised brings them straight into the 21 century
absolutely excellent. Catching Keith's spirit with respect and adding his own spice to it. Loved it.
This is absolutely fantastic! It's funny how sometimes real artists must change the original a bit in order to keep its "inner" untamed spirit! I prefer these renditions over any "dogmatic" cover of the original tracks. Bravissimo!
Agree 100% I met Keith years ago and asked if he cared if we changed parts here and there and he approve completely! RIP Maestro !
I love how Thierry fused Hoedown with Rondo....This guy deserves all the praise you can give. I've followed Thierry for many years. A Top Player.....Any one who gave a thumbs down....take off your blinkers.....it's an Homage to Keith.....You sad people.

Beautifully done.
Such a tribute to the amazing man that was.
Godspeed Keith.
my jaw is below the floor. Thierry is absolutely incredible. the whistle at "Enigma" ending was fantastic. "The Endless Enigma" has always been very special to me. the chords Keith played would strike an emotion in me I can't explain. I will forever be grateful to Keith Emerson for exposing me to European classical music. and jazz.
Bravo , félicitations Thierry , pour cette version , magnifique , au piano ! et avec au chant un bel hommage à Greg Lake , et que dire de Palmer (quel batteur !!! d'une grande musicalité !!! merci thierry

WOW ! Just Wow !! Keith would be proud 🎹🎶💖 And beautiful vocals.... Greg would also be proud 🎤🎸💔😢.The music of these 2 geniuses and Carl Palmer will live on forever 🎼🎶
The best intepretation of Tarkus for the clavier that I have ever heard!
je decouvre ...fabuleux ! un grand musicien ! 2 grands musiciens !
This is a magnificient concert and you did justice to M.Keith Emerson. Beautiful legacy. Thank you M. Eliez.
What a magnificent musician this guy is. His subtle changes to the originals are sublime and really add to the effect. I hope we see and hear a lot more of him!
Such a wonderful interpretation. I'm stunned.
Beautiful. Keith and Greg are looking down and smiling I'm sure.
Yes - though it‘s sad...
Simply wonderful. You sing it so well. You play it so well. A re-discovery of so beloved classicals. Every Jazzman scoffed at me, and as a jazzman I was ashamed loving Keith's music. I can see I was wrong.
Emerson is one one my favorite composer, just next to Chopin, Tatum ...
What is amazing with Emerson is that although I played and studied a lot of music, especially piano music, especially jazz pianists, I cannot transcribe or play all these songs by ear.
I can replay instantly almost any music, except Emerson : chords or modulations from Bach, Chopin, Tatum, Peterson, McCoy are easy to grab for me. But I cannot figure out what Emerson plays though I know him by heart. And even if I know one song, the next one is a totally new challenge.

Any musican, and composers especially, should study Emerson.
MY CALL :
It's too bad we cannot find all the scores of Emerson. How did you learn those songs ? Did you find all the scores ? Some had never been published I think.
This must change : we want, we need the Emerson Book : we need all the stuff he wrote, all the stuff he played (especially piano impro live) : with the Nice, with ELP, the orchestral scores : we want the piano concerto, Pirates, Works.
We want everything.
Please...
He, and ELP, were and are in my soul.
The jazz guys need to understand their
contribution to music has helped others develop their own style.
The fruits of their tree are there
for the picking.
Utterly, Completely Brilliant...A Technical and Emotional Tour de Force...BRAVO!!!!!
Merci pour cet ajout formidable musical via interprétation hors du commun 🎶🎹🎹🎵Keith en est positivement heureux et fier ♥️
Thierry is an absolute wonder. Fantastic interpretations of Keith's incredible music.

Stunning interpretations and performance, thanks Thierry 🎹👍🏻
Magistral hommage au Maître Keith ! Génial et humble : bravo Thierry !
a Documentary about Jaco Pastorius brought me here! Fantastic Interpretations of Emerson's work - which always had a Latin American tinge to it...after all - Keith covered Alberto Ginastera's "Toccata" !
Absolutely outstanding. I discovered recently that maybe Emerson was a little influenced by George Gershwin. Both incredible musicians. As is Thierry and friends.
This is SO Musicaiciously Brilliant!!! Keith would be overjoyed and kvelling!!! Please come to LA!!!! C'est Magnifique!!!!
Keith and Greg beaming down on this. I really appreciate this fresh take.
That's so beautiful. Keith Emerson was a work of art unto himself. RIP
Absolutely masterful interpretation of who was the best keyboardist in rock history: Keith Emerson.
It's wonderful Mr Thierry, a beautiful hommage.Congratulations
LOVE THIS!! The slightly slowed up tempos really bring out the gorgeous harmonies! Bravo!
A chaque fois que j'écoute ...chaque note est une goutte de Grâce... merci cher Thierry !
Si arriva ad oltrepassare un limite di talento e bravura che poi è impossibile dire (per me) chi sia più o meno infinitamente bravo. Thierry è lì con Keith e tanti\pochi altri.
Grazie
Merci pour une belle et sincère hommage. Thank you for a beautiful and heartfelt tribute.
Cet artiste inspiré pouvait jouer de tous les instruments possibles et imaginables tellement sa maîtrise était intense. Les sons dégégés fusionnent une poésie évocatrice et rêveuse et nous nous trouvons là face à un chef-d'œuvre de la musique du monde. Merci à Thierry Eliez pour ce délicieux hommage !
Conservo il ricordo di averlo ascoltato, al piano e all'Hammond, al teatro Verdi di Sassari insieme a Dee Dee Bridgewater.
Nel momento dei doverosi complimenti nel camerino gli dissi che suonava meglio di Emerson ma egli, ammiratore del grande Keith, non ne volle sentire e mi riportò sul palco, riaccese l'Hammond e mostrandomi il posizionamento originale delle drawbars di Karn Evil9 - 1, ne suonò, solo per me, circa 1 minuto: era (è) proprio innamorato di Keith. Grande Thierry!
Je vous remercie profondément pour la délicatesse de votre concert hommage a mon grand ami Keith. J'en suis encore sidéré J'étais son technicien
Je croyais que son tec était anglais ?
I am. Du Québec. Donc, I am bilingual. Je m'appele Marc Andre
Merci Marc d'avoir contribué au superbe travail de Keith Emerson et bravo pour ce que vous avez fait. Ca n'existe plus aujourd'hui comme ca. J'ai lu que vous aviez également filmé le groupe. Pouvez vous nous donnez des liens, je serais heureux de voir votre travail.
petit a petit, je fait des trouvailles dans mes films. Je les posterai au fur et a mesure que je trouve des choses pas ordinaire.
@@tstop8 Son technicien, vous devez être Marc-André Berthiaume, j'ai vu souvent votre nom et vous devez avoir tellement de beaux souvenirs. Quel chanceux vous êtes !
un immense MERCI pour tous les amoureux de la musique de Keith Emerson, magnifique!
Thierry Eliez Complimenti 🎼♥️🎼🎵🎶Hommage magnifique â Keith Emerson ♥️🔋🎶
COUP de chapeau au TRITON pour faire jouer une telle bonne musique ! Tout à votre honneur ! Au plaisir peut être un jour, qui sait, de jouer chez vous !
Excellent performance !!!! 👍👍👍 Not only a great tribute to Keith Emerson but for Greg Lake too !!!! Both gone to early 😞
A fine performance of some of my favourite Keith Emerson compositions. I look forward to the Birmingham Town Hall Keith Emerson Tribute Concert
Quelle audace ! Et quelle réussite !
Bravo..Magnificent..a tour de force.Take it on the road I'll be there in a heartbeat. Kieth Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer live on in your performance.
Merci beaucoup. Magnifique!!! Endless Engima est ma préféré!!!
...
Après écoute au complet, tout ce qu'il joue est sublime!!!! Trilogy, très bon aussi!!!!!
Avez vous entendu ce projet avec le quatuor à cordes ??? Sublimissime ! C'est sur la page de Thierry Eliez th-cam.com/channels/2LEvVEPzVOtFhHYdBMkS6Q.html
Amazing! Would love to hear this live. Like ELP meets Manhattan Transfer.
Beautiful piece, Keith would like for sure
love how the beautiful bright tone of the Yamaha lends itself so well to Emerson's music....
Wonderful playing, inspiring and passionate!
Saved the link to listen at a later time but got sucked into the whole concert...absolutely amazing.
Thierry Eliez quel Pianiste et chanteur Fabuleux !!!! Bravo l'Artiste !!!!
I hadn't seen this. This is easily the best hommage to Keith ever. But it's so short! I would have liked it to go on for three or four hours more. Thanks to everyone involved
J'ai vraiment aimé cette interprétation et la sensibilité de Thierry Eliez vraiment dans l'esprit de Keith Emerson tout en le revisitant. C'est très musical, les accents sont superbes, la dextérité est là et la voix est tres expressive et sensible.
Bravo et merci.
DES DIEUX ... comme ces trois musiciens s'embellissent avec les années. Je vous adore. Valhalla vous réserve une place aux côtés d'ELP... O Céline !
I only listened to the first ten minutes... - GREAT!!!
Great!!! that rendition of hoedown is full of swing. This is the best possible hommage to Emerson, and a further step on his work.
Indeed. It seems to me, in addition, that the renditions here of Trilogy and Jeremy Bender capture the expressive potential of the compositions in ways the original renditions never matched. In the latter case, it strikes me as a considerable improvement, perhaps not quite to the degree of the "Joe Cocker : With a little Help from my Friends" cover, but I always felt the original KE JB was only partially successful - as with the rest of side 2, it was hard to escape the feeling that creative energies had been drawn down so much by the titanic Tarkus side 1, that they were, I dunno, squeezing them out when these tracks were recorded?
and yes...I am aware of Rachel Flowers. She plays Emerson pretty straight-up, and that's cool...but, I like these masterful interpretations much more.
Excelente músico!!!
el lenguaje musical es aún más contemporáneo que el que usara el maestro Keith Emerson.....Además, las armonías de Jazz, sabiamente utilizadas, le dan a esta interpretación un carácter creativo sorprendente!!!!! La cantante y el cellista que se acoplan también son magníficos...
Un pur et fantastique pianiste ,une voix qui caresse nos âmes
Une grande lumière sonore de notre temps
