Its not that he's underrated so much as it is he was not rated at all nobody gives keyboard players pianist enough credit nowadays because they aren't enough featured in bands anymore and when they were featured it was the synthesizer hair metal stuff was cool and all but overshadowed by the high pitched high C vocals and guitar playing and never any on stage solos i barely knew vitalij i heard he passed away the other day and he was in TSO so i knew his talent was beyond there i just knew him as the keyboardist from TSO and saw him play so many years ago but that's all i knew about him didn't know he had his solo projects and other bands so underrated yes but actually it was worse barely known not rated at all 😢
Thank you Vitalij. Maybe you will see this. I was 17 when I first head High Definition after its release. I was blown away that you mixed my two (future) passions, metal and classical. I got VK3 as soon as I had enough money. It really changed my outlook on music. VK3 was a serious Break Through ;-)
I'm big Fan in Thailand, Love all of Artension.. I think your music is Higher than guitarist!! Love all of Atrension album and listen them everyday!! the most beautiful music
I see that people are giving you thumbs down. Why people have to be put down for their honesty these days is beyond me. Even when you give him compliments later on, it's like they just don't process anything they read anymore. I understand what you are talking about. We all can agree on one thing - he's got more fun than most. Skills are, of course, there. But where is the limit with all that speed? Melodies are hard to find these days in high speed music. Give me some haunting melody, please!
He's talking about Vitalij's first album with Greg Howe on guitars, entitled 'High Definition'. I too have been listening to it again nearly daily lately. I always seem to come back to that one!
THE BEST!!!!, el mejor musico de todos los tiempos,!!, sus trabajos me hacen llorar y recordar lo buena que es la vida mientras exista buena musica. Primero Dios y luego Vitalij Kuprij,,, la creatividad ante todo, ,
Vitalij is great. His technique is ridiculously flawless, his speed is incredible, and he is having more FUN than any classical pianist has ever had.... wait, did I say "FUN"???? Shame on me, music isn't about FUN!!!!
Viralij SHREDDED keyboards and piano. Whenever I hear this stuff, I hear elements of Rick Wakeman, Ray Manzarek, Kevin Moore, Derek Sherinian, Jordan Rudess....or Mozart and Beethoven. I'm a prog/metal guitarist, and all these guys aforementioned--I hear the "guitar influences", the delivery and phrasings--classical/headbanging/virtuoso conveyances. Kinda funny--looking back in my years, I failed at playing piano. Loved it, but couldn't do it. Ended up learning guitar. I still loved the sounds of prog/metal rock keys, but got successful on guitar. My inspirations? Alex Lifeson (Rush) and Steve Howe (Yes). And to think, I learned 6 strings on 22 frets, while keys/piano can be 88! Do the math!
Sin duda el mejor tecladista y pianista de todos los tiempos...sus compisiciones y sus obras es regresar en el tiempo y sentir a grandes musicos como frederic chopin y J.S bach.gracias vitalij kuprij por inspirar a las nuevas generaciones.
@nneevveerrmmoorree emerson is my personal favorite, he is a great player or the keyboard and he also started most of use of the synthesizer he was great synth engineer and uses lots of different sounds
@dustytretch..Yes I love Keith too saw him around /90 at Massey Hall Toronto Tarkus was my fav ELP project...these thing are subjective when players are so great tho..the thing is is that im a guitarist who loves George Bellas above all others and Vitalij dis several works wit George so I am biased lol....But I wiill give Kieth major credit ..damn the guy was born with a piano..cheers mate
well yah i guess..i checked some of francesco solo albums..well its cool..he lake strong powerful notes u know..but i guess he is tryin to catch up with vitalij..macalpine an greg howe were the best ever with vitalij ..they keep up nicely..awesome riffs too..vitalij has artension and solo project and band called ring of fire...but best albums in his solo project..he did so many stuff an he has other classical recording using piano..awesome too if u love classical music
R.I.P. 😢 His music will echo in eternity
oh shit no fucking way man
@@chongli8409 Whaaaat 😢
What has happened to my friend Vitalij Cuprij? 🙏🏼
