As a classical pianist at a conservatory, but also as a gigging blues musician, this is really special to see. Always nice to see people getting back to what they love! It can be incredibly beneficial to just improvise over a 1/4/5 progression, not only to improve one's classical skills, but also for their soul! Boogie Woogie and Blues is some of the most pure music out there, it just makes you want to dance!
I am now 70 and vividly remember my dear old mum playing boogie on our piano, the house was ful of music but we moved house and my father sold the only piano in the village ours, still when i hear boogie i think of those happier days than now under lockdown.
I have been listening to classical music almost exclusively for over thirty years, but there is something about boogie woogie that just grabs me. It's one of my favorite things in the world.
@@MorainStaria All lies ! Or you would never have answered me. And what i learned, is that people like you will always treat others with names they fear to be called themself, so i take it you are a snob on a high horse 😂
Yes the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre or Church Organ will not dissolve, but will add to any music, just love them when they are played by someone who knows what they will do. like the Castro Theatre Organ in San Francisco
This is the result of a man... Who has been perfecting his skills for years... FOR YEARS!!!. And this clip shows only ONE of MANY performances he has made through all these years! This Boogie Man is a living legend in my opinion!
Schaue ich mir immer wieder gerne an. Man sieht dem Jörg Hegemann einfach an das er jegliche Art von Musik einfach lebt und liebt. Vielen Dank dafür und bleiben Sie Gesund.
I love how his full body is involved in the performance... probably the most enjoyable piece he’d play that night! Good to see classical performers opened to other styles and having so much fun, well done!
Absolutely fantastic and exhilarating, So talented and full of joy and life, totallly uplifting, music for the sole, as for the rest of the musicians who seem very apathetic, they are obviously jealous that they haven’t this gift!
Ma quanti pianisti hai visto per pensare che questo sia un virtuoso? Pianista con mediocre controllo del suono esegue tutto senza dinamica senza inventiva appena sufficente, qualsiaisi musicista di club negli Stati Uniti lo suona meglio e senza annoiarti e magari improvvisando cosa che questo non sa fare.
I’m torn between the classical brilliance and musical integrity of Jorg and the natural genius of the undertrained, back alley style of any number of memphis musos. Jorg definitely keeps the spontaneity that great boogie woogie is.
O M G ... you would think they (the musicians behind this great player) could crack a smile or show some sort of emotion ... thank God the audience where alive at least. Congratulations Mr Hegemann your C O O L and your saved in my favourites ;-)))
*gingercat555:* I was thinking that maybe it's because they've sat through so many concerts and practices with him - they've heard it all before - many times?
If they had "gotten into it", it actually would have been more of a distraction, from a production standpoint. This way, the pianist is showcased, fully, not only as the the only one playing, but the only one moving. This naturally draws the audience's attention where it belongs.
A talented boogie woogie pianist amongst a classical or orchestra and the look on his face says ' I don't give a sh*t, I'm enjoying myself ' and by the audience's response, so are they 😊
Please watch the joy in his face. If there is something that will save us from the AI storm that is coming is this genuine human element: HAVING FUN!!!!
What I like about watching this video is how the two people right behind him react. The Asian lady looks all full of joy while the dude next to her is like, "So he can play the piano. Big deal."
How is it possible, 80% of the audience is musically dead or deaf, no reaction whatsoever, or if it's not classical, it's not music, jesus. great class mister Jôrg keep going man you are the best
Holy Mackeral!!! This guy may be either one of the best or The Best boogie player I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of em. This guy's got the real feel, in my book, and the chops to go along with it. Whewwww! Marc Trainor.
Lény the piano isn’t bright enough and it’s adapted heavily to create impressive tonal and timbre colors. It sounds very smooth and round if that makes sense. Definitely amazing for classical, but not bright and pingy enough for rag time/blues
The best part of this performance is not only the music but watching the stuffed shirts and the music lovers. How wonderful to share his talents for all to hear.
WOW!! MAGNIFICENT!!! A SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE BY AN INCREDIBLY TALENTED PIANIST AND MUSICIAN!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THAT KIND OF MUSIC, AND HE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST IN PERFORMING IT SO WELL!! CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!
I think they just don't know what to do .would've been super if some could've joined in on their instruments too. I also think he's the best I've ever heard...I always come back to him.

It's so confusing when the video doesn't fit to the sound. There is a 1 second shift between audio and video, and the close-up shots are literally taken from another moment in the music... But still, what a piece of music, one of the best boogie woogie, full of joy and energy!
Anybody screaming "CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!" here? Jorg can appropriate anytime. He makes this into the dangerously happy music it should be. As I once read on a Chinese site, cultural appreciation is different from cultural appropriation. Jorg flatters America and takes what he found and improves upon it. I am grateful. Can anyone imagine being in a worse mood when they are done listening to this than they were when they began? I cannot.
Thanks Jörg. You have created a classic - a classic that redefines Boogie in a way that perhaps few understand. I am awed by your temporal and contextual interpretation and thus of your creation. Amazing! I will forever hold your creation as one of the cornerstones of a 100 years tradition of Boogie. All the best, Joakim
This man is total entertainment... guaranteed to get your money's worth....slays the piano!!!!!When it runs thru your blood..you cannot help but boogie!!!
Trust me, classical musicians can party hard. The classical music students I know do party more and harder than I could… Do not jump to conclusions about the people from just looking at them doing their job. By the way: Everyone of them lives his/her dream. Most of them have been aiming for becoming a classical musician from childhood on - with hours and hours or practice each day.
He looked so happily alone. Like "finally, ive been waiting so long to do this." This is what he plays in his free time.
Boogie Woogie on a Steinway Grand, with a posh orchestra just sitting there twiddling their thumbs, MAGIC!
Damn right!
Posh Orchestra?
Aitor Tilla instead of a lower class orchestra i guess
It's the most fun that Steinway has ever had.
This is amazing

This is most certainly music for the soul...for the ears and the feet too.
Can't sit still through this. It's so 👍 👍 GOOD.

Exactly. Their feet tapping along rhythmically can’t hide the boogey though lol.
I have been listening to classical music almost exclusively for over thirty years, but there is something about boogie woogie that just grabs me. It's one of my favorite things in the world.
Wkwkwk
You see and hear that genius on the piano and all what you comment is that the vid is not sync??? Oh my gosh.
Same here...I'm mainly a classical guy, but sometimes a little boogie woogie is just what I need.
Me too. Same with bluegrass banjo 😁
Boogie Woogie got the US servicemen through World War Two.
He's just so happy, you can tell he's enjoying it! Makes me happy. :D

I definetly want this at mine👍😊
Me too!!!!!

One Man, one Piano, does the Boogie Woogie and the whole hall is completly dumbfounded. It dissolves every single instrument.
Except the king of instruments.
Which is the voice.
Which is the Church Organ... Google it.
I don't need to ..but fair enough.
Yes the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre or Church Organ will not dissolve, but will add to any music, just love them when they are played by someone who knows what they will do. like the Castro Theatre Organ in San Francisco

All boogie woogie pianists look just so HAPPY to play boogie woogie. There's this bounce to it that you just cant help but bounce along.
Boogie woogie is so fun to play that it brings just joy to yourself and to those listening to it😁
@@burningisis i definitely bounced along
I just started watching Jorg. You are a super talented pianist. Now I'm a big fan of yours.
I love how his full body is involved in the performance... probably the most enjoyable piece he’d play that night! Good to see classical performers opened to other styles and having so much fun, well done!
One of the best boogie woogie performances I've seen -soul, not just technique.
In der Tat. Allein die Länge und die Spannung zu halten sind außergewöhnlich
Absolutely fantastic and exhilarating, So talented and full of joy and life, totallly uplifting, music for the sole, as for the rest of the

‘Where’ is a statement of place. ‘Were’ is the verb you were looking for!!!!!!!
you could say the same thing about the player moving his foot himself as, "being distracting"
The lady smiling at 0:28 is all you need to know about boogie woogie. Jorg was sawing on that Steinway like she was meant to be. Bravo!!!!
Jörg Hegemann is probably the best boogie-woogie pianist in the world today.
I love how his whole body moves in time to the beat. Must have loads of energy.
Credit where it's due as the orchestra members did break out in applause at the very end. Jorg Hegemann is truly outstanding.
He is killing those keys and I love it beating them to the very core of boogie woogie!❤
I love, love, love his playing. Wish I could attend one of his concerts.

Please watch the joy in his face. If there is something that will save us from the AI storm that is coming is this genuine human element: HAVING FUN!!!!
I'll bet that Jorg could read a book whilst playing. Simply the best.
i love this song so much that it made me dance around my room with a huge smile on my face, i couldn't stop giggling 😂❤
What I like about watching this video is how the two people right behind him react. The Asian lady looks all full of joy while the dude next to her is like, "So he can play the piano. Big deal."
He’s got an amazingly strong left hand to go on with that pattern for over 4 mins. Marvellous
How is it possible, 80% of the audience is musically dead or deaf, no reaction whatsoever, or if it's not classical, it's not music, jesus. great class mister Jôrg keep going man you are the best
Quick someone check for a heartbeat of those in the orchestra! How can you not even tap a single toe? Jorg is EPIC!❤️ Kudos from the USA!
they have no soul...thats the answer xD
Because in an orchestra, you don't tap your toe!
Try toe tapping to this!
If this doesn't put a huge smile on your face, and you in a good mood, nothing will!
HE IS GREAT

WOWEEEE! and he's doing it on a Steinway.... OMG, classical purists are having heart attacks!
It sound really great, but i dont know why on a piano this "high class" there's something missing, that's just a feeling but it's strange
@@bomberman819 build and tuning of the piano isn't for blues, i guess
Lény the piano isn’t bright enough and it’s adapted heavily to create impressive tonal and timbre colors. It sounds very smooth and round if that makes sense. Definitely amazing for classical, but not bright and pingy enough for rag time/blues
There are only jazz purists and other cunts

Monsieur Jörg Hegemann mille fois mercis pour cette extraordinaire interprétation au piano de Boogie Woogie ; vous êtes un grand artiste de talent.
Had to watch that again and again. I love all sorts of music but this is the style that makes your jaw drop and start tapping your feet : )
Except for the frozen orchestra members behind him.
I Like That Camera Shot Of Jorg Hegemann Tapping His Shoes At The Piano.
Обалденное буги! Класс! Божественно играет. Браво!👏🌹
Здорово! Только звук не совпадает с изображением!
Jedesmal wenn ich mir das Video anschaue kann ich meine Füße nicht mehr still halten. Einfach genial.
Haha ich auch nicht und ergend wann stehe ich auf drehe mich einmal um und tanze Boogie woogi ✌
Haha der war an unserer Schule..... Wir könnten immer ein bisschen seine Musik hören weil er im neben Raum gespielt hat🤣🤣💖💖Das war so cool🤣
I love old school piano.... This one reminds me of Red Dead Redembtion when I would go into a saloon. Love this! This guy is amazing.
Respect!! Combining completley different genres and pulling it off - love it!!

Just so funny to watch him play boogie woogie during a classical performance 😅 but hey enjoy it just so entertaining

That's a fine way to treat a Steinway, absolutely brilliant.
I played ragtime on one before. The store owner looked angry.
You have remember--this was before rock and roll. This is how that generation got down.
Wow! Jorge, you're fantastic! Bravo!
Never has the expression 'tickling the ivories' been so apt.
Boogie woogie et piano le mariage parfait... Chapeau l'artiste !
he makes it look easy .so happy as well ,really enjoy this
