From Russia - with Love (one might say) . .

Already mentioned on our FB Page, but altogether too fine not to reiterate here . . .

This guy eclipses my Piano Skills completely - and very "PROG" into the bargain . . .

I've not really heard much like THIS - since ELP . . . . ?



In this next clip - notice the supreme (and intelligent) use of the Pedals of the Steinway to create a wonderful "Wash" of sound . . .

You need the complete polyphony offered by a real Piano to do this well - together with the necessary technique of course :lol:

The ability to make the melody more prominent than the rest depends largely on striking those notes slightly harder.

This is the magic of the Piano - It does it so well . . . (The Player decides how well) ;)



His first Album (2018) is here:

The tracks are wildly different - so it's difficult to pick a favourite . . .

Superb pianist. One half of "I am the Morning", who I have been a fan of since I first heard them in 2014





I have put this one up on our forums before, but worth doing again. A little more subtle, but this one always sends shivers down my spine when I hear it.

Regards
Derek Cook
