At 17yrs old I performed at The Royal Festival Hall in London on the piano. It was watching Liberace who inspired my career. A wonderful pianist......& gentleman.
I assume Liberace did all of his own arrangements, and this had to include writing the charts out for the orchestra and his conductor. He was a wonderful pianist, and his self-deprecation was NOT deserved. In order to get this to hang-together, it took hours of rehearsing with the conductor and the orchestra. Not unlike performing a "separate concerto" which he put together. I can play the Rhapsody. He was clean in his hand-crossing. And it was completely memorized. Don't for a minute sell that short. It required enormous concentration. He was a wonderful entertainer. I do miss him. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
Well Lee has been gone many years and we are still waiting for someone to out do him. IMPOSSIBLE! There was only one Liberace and he can never be replaced, a gentle man, a genius, a funny man, a kind man, a generous man, a super talented man, I could go on and on BUT there will never be another Liberace, we miss you Lee so much. You were the BEST.
Ain't nobody can play like Liberace today. He was a once in a lifetime deal. Very unique and special just like we all are . Just like Mr Rogers said we are all different and unique and special and people can like us just the way we are.
Wenn ich dieses Talent hätte - ich würde beruflich nichts anderes machen...wer kommt Ihm gleich, dieser spielerische Umgang, in Verbindung mit superber Virtuosität....
Nonsense. Practice. That is the key. Having the motivation to practice, now that is talent. Or it could just be permissible parents who provided a piano in a quiet place.
So true. Anyone can learn to play their best, but not everyone was born to be great like Liberace or could achieve his greatness. The key is just to do your best, and practice.
He under-rated himself and the more I watch these wonderful old videos the more I love him, the composers and all the other musicians. I agree with every post here which loves him!!!
@@olivelane7903 End of Oct I turn 84 yo. After having mostly good health for years the last two have brought a basket full so now am doing medical professionals who are often 50 years my junior.

LEE is watching and feeling for us and ever so glad his music/💕 love are helpful. Loving. LIBERACE. DAILY.
I recently watched a documentary about Liberace. People seem obligated to say he was great show man, but not great pianist. I don’t play piano but come from musical family, I was exposed to beautiful music at early age. I have never heard anything less than great from Liberace, just because he is flamboyant in his presentation, should not negate the wonderful response his music elicits for so many. A person does have the freedom to listen to Rubinstein or Horowitz, if that is their preference. I just wish they would stop insulting those who prefer Liberace.
By accident actually. My hubby is from Australia - this guy was a sensation over there. Never heard of him here in Holland. Don't know if there's a link ;) Feel free to comment!
People sometimes forget that Liberace always had an up and coming but unknown artist perform during his show. He gave many a new artist a chance to shine. I wonder how many vocalists, pianists, string artists and yes even dancers were given their chance because of Liberace.
I have always loved Liberace. Just watching him play is spellbinding, He was so talented and definitely "Mr. Showmanship." He had a beautiful heart and kind soul. He definitely was one of a kind. And the love he showed for his mother made him even more special.
So many people focus on his fabulous costumes and notorious personal life that they seem to forget how masterful he was at playing the piano. His talent and skill was absolutely superb.
the man had class such a nice man and a great piano player my mom dad took me to see him in vegas because they loved his music he was really good and well respected what ever he did in private life was his business but one thing i do know is he set up a foundation for young musicians that still to this day helps them god bless you lee you will be missed
Liberace was the best Artist in the History of Music, we could see it was Great, God always take care of him and love him very much God always bless the USA, South and North
Absolutely superb musicianship! And how he LOVES doing it is just incredible! His performances blow me away! Never saw anything like it! Thank you Mr. Liberace, Master musician!
A great showman who ever lived and played the piano like no one else. I would see him perform on TV or guest appearances and each time it was excellent. He showed a warm, friendly personality, as well, which was natural and came easily. Liberace had a long illustrious career and these videos capture those times and bring back memories.. .
Its hard to imaging someone to come close to the genius of Liberace, I will always cherish him as someone that came to entertain us once in a lifetime, God bless you Liberace and thanks for being part of this generation.
People mistakenly believe Lee "played by ear." He did not. He carefully crafted music to his own amazing style and committed every piece to his incredible repertoire...by MEMORY. Best of all, he was ALWAYS stunningly capable of translating the "emotion" of each piece correctly and without reservation. He was a Gift from God.
He certainly wasn't a Michael Feinstein or Leonard Bernstein. He was a Barnum showman/entertainer/grafter/grifter pianist. But, he was one of the best of his trade/genre. The intellectuals would go more for a Victor Borge. Liberace appealed to the masses and purple hair old ladies.
What´s the problem with his personal life? Are you, besides a musical critic, also qualified to pass moral judgement on others? Your commentary is highly patronizing and I couldn´t care more about other people´s lives.
Gerardo Salazar The problem with Liberace's personal life is that it led to his premature death. I quite enjoyed this vid. but also recognise the truth of the above. Another very important point is that if moral judgements are not made then we end up with the excess present in today's world. Rampant sexual epidemic and due to family breakdown enormous welfare costs. Think about it !
He was the Greatest Pianist of all time. I've followed his music for years. His boldness with his clothes etc. was daring in his time, but so was "Aids".If only he hadn't meant Scott, he probably would still be alive today, who knows. I NEVER think of the "bad" about him, but "HOW MUCH GOOD" he did for this world when we needed "good" music. Yes, I'm a baby boomer, and can honestly say, because I Play Piano and Organ I wish I had 1/10th of his brain capacity for music I loved it then, and still love it now.
+Alan Durkee Just so you know, you don't just HAVE brain capacity for music. You make it and train it. Kinda like making cement, you water it, turn it and lay it down. And when you rest it hardens...and when you want to expand upon it, you have a good base from which to start building. Again, you train in music just like you do in any other profession. It doesn't just COME to you, but there are CLICKING moments in which things just make sense after you've practiced a long time. And THAT requires you to think outside the box. Also being the greatest pianist of all time requires you to be judged alongside ALL pianists. And we all know there are people forgotten who could have had legendary technique that surpasses Bach, Liszt, or Chopin that were playing in a brothel and didn't live long enough to be remembered.
@@mutsuhanma7807 My mother and granny mother played the piano. I couldn't play a single note.But,I could drow,and paint. So I don't agree with you . You have it or you don't. Then,you cultivate it.
Listen to some Arthur Rubenstein. Carefully. Then you might re-evaluate your "Greatest Pianist of all time" thought. I fully agree that he was extremely talented and musical, but his genius was in showmanship, not transcendent interpretations of the deepest creations of classical composers.
nobody on this planet is an angel BUT the art of such a genius pianist tell us we all can be better persons giving the best we can like he did on his shows
TRULY GREAT PERFORMER! His style is incomparable and the orchestra here is clean, tight and plays beautifully. I would have loved to have heard THIS particular performance!
Hi Jim, same with me. I would have loved to hear and see this very performance. Great playing, great suit, great joy and also a very good conductor Gordon Robinson. 🎵
Sends chills up my spine! MASTERFUL . . . MAGNIFICENT . . . MAGICAL!!!! I'm very sure there will never be another one like him. I'm also sure that pianos miss him being in front of them and making them sound like the way he did.
He was so full of entertainment. I used to watch him on black & white TV back in grade school, after school in the 1950s when I was a little girl. He was amazing.
Liberace is a true musician..yes he is flambouyant and looks as though he seeks attention but...he also comes across as a quiet, personal man. His music is second to none, especially his classical pieces but he can adapt so well. I love his music.
Liberace's blue sparkling suit is out of this world and perfectly chosen for this magnificent performance. I also would like to point out that Gordon Robinson's conducting could not be better. You can see his silhouette a couple of times. The orchestra is 100% together with the piano. At the last note it seems as if Liberace can feel the downbeat of Mr. Robinson without looking at him. 🎵
Just decided to look up some of his playing on a whim. Actually don't recall ever hearing him play before and have to say, that is mightily impressive. Rhapsody in Blue is generally a grade 5 (out of six) piece on piano if I recall correctly and what there was of it in there (this was a medley) was extremely well done. From memory.
I appreciate Liberace and how talented he was I play piano myself and I do play music from Liberace He had the heart of Jesus He was a great Catholic as well I love how he adored his mother I’m the same way with my Mother She went to Heaven in 2015 I miss Liberace No one will be as good as he was
I think this is wonderful. I was actually just reading up on Liberace's past and I can't understand why critics were so tough on him concerning his piano playing. Based on this performance, all I can say is he seems brilliant!
+StrangeAngel03 You can't understand because you lack the same knowledge those critics have, and lack the base in which they judged him. But if you enjoy it, then no critic can ever take that away from you.
+Mutsu Hanma I've read so many bad critics reviews that I came to my conclusion they cash in on a personality and so help keep themselves in a job in their own small minds and small circles. Liberace never played "for the critics" he was an entertainer so the critics really had no place there. Critics don't like to be outside the box they hold so dear, because if people start to ignore them they cease to exist. I suppose critics only matter if you value a critics opinion. So many top musicians could be said to play very differently from a taught student of music. It seems if you are taught you never quite find yourself musically I've heard this from some very impressive taught musicians. However a taught musician can impress the critics!!! Interesting all in all. We need all sorts of musicians.
CRitics are expected or at least were and maybe so and still in some venues to be elitist . They are often wrong of course and sometimes just downright stupid. One of my favorite movies of the 1970's was The Sting and you wouldn't believe the Garbage these penand ink hitmen wrote about it.
Maybe they were hard on him because they knew he was gay before the public knew, Liberace was out there in hollywood, critics and everyone in hollywood knew, but kept it quiet from the public,
They said the same thing about Led Zeppelin. Only the greatest rock band to ever live. Same can be said for Liberace who I'm a huge fan of. I don't believe he's the greatest pianist to ever live but is right up there. His compositions like this one, and god given talent made him a legend
The man was a great performer I didnt care if he was gay his music brought joy to others and his kindness towards people he will be missed thank you for the upload

Brings tears to the eyes. There never was, nor ever will be another Liberace. Thank you.
No one can learn to play like that. It has to be born into your bones and tissues as a God given talent.
Nonsense. Practice. That is the key. Having the motivation to practice, now that is talent. Or it could just be permissible parents who provided a piano in a quiet place.

He would have been 100 years old today . So sad we don't still have him. He was the BEST of the BEST. A genius at work and he loved it. RIP, SIR.
& his collections
A virtually flawless and wonderful medley of some of the very best of Genius Gershwin! Bravo!
the best version of music of Gershwin Rapsody in Blue
He under-rated himself and the more I watch these wonderful old videos the more I love him, the composers and all the other musicians. I agree with every post here which loves him!!!

I have always considered myself to be so fortunate to have heard him play live.
Flawless. Pure genius

A musical Genius
What a delight!!
what a consummate performer and musician. i would have cherished attending one of his performances. may he rest in peace.
an absolute musical genius!!!! let's not judge his personal life!!!! let us all deeply appreciate what he left us here on earth!
What´s the problem with his personal life? Are you, besides a musical critic, also qualified to pass moral judgement on others? Your commentary is highly patronizing and I couldn´t care more about other people´s lives.
I can't see how his "personal life" would relate to his unique talent and excellent creative genius! His personal life is just that: "personal".

A genius who wrote the music and a genius playing it. Thank You
right you are
he did not write the music,, !! , he played , it,!! fact !!!
@@gremlinuk1968 he didnt write it you're right. But he composed this piece into a Gershwin melody from various styles.
@@tommyplays131 Liberace was good at composing piano melodies of well known composers. And even better at playing them.
gremlinuk1968 He means that Gershwin,who wrote the music, was a genius and Liberace was a genius the way he played it.
Sends chills up my spine! MASTERFUL . . . MAGNIFICENT . . . MAGICAL!!!! I'm very sure there will never be another one like him. I'm also sure that pianos miss him being in front of them and making them sound like the way he did.
WELL SAID YOUR SO RIGHT
Ditto.
Agreed
Magnificent piano playing liberace looks incredible
At that time, no pianist performs like Liberace did. Thing is, what an entertainer he is plus piano skill like no other.
Double delight...Gershwin and Liberace !!!!
I enjoy all his music, it is a pleasure to listen to.
I am stunned into tears of joy and admiration !
What a beautiful post you've written - it really IS perfect!

No music sheets allll from memory amazing
That was amazing. I am perplexed at such wondrous skill.
what happens when you combine the two best pianists in history? this masterpiece. :D
God, he was so fabulous.
Just a genius He was, no words! Emmanuel from Paris France
