I just found this last night, a cool piano-based version of the Macgyver theme song, and maybe I'm crazy but I love it!

And, someone posted this awhile ago - another favorite - the funky Fur Elise

I like doing searches for any of the Glenn Gould videos.

Here's mine:

MVB: I have to relate a rather funny story about The Warsaw Concerto and how people who do not play the piano...well, they just have no idea.

We had some friends over last year and were sitting in the living room, which houses my grand piano. I remarked that I had finally had it tuned and that it sounded great (considering it has a cracked sound board and was made in 1917). At this, my friend said (knowing I was classically-inclined) that there was one piece that he just loved and wanted me to play it for him. (A little background is needed here. I had been away from the piano for over 25 years and even then was just average in ability.)

I was thinking, perhaps a Chopin prelude or waltz. Ha!

"What would you like me to play?"

He answered: "The Warsaw Concerto."

I replied that as soon as I got the Chicago Symphony Orchestra jammed into the room and had 20 more years of lessons, I might be able to comply with his request.

Here is a Ray Charles gem... http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=IhGZdSkX6IM

Nobody can beat this version of Schindler's List. If you want jaw-dropping emotion and improv, this is it!

Ray Charles - It Ain't Easy Bein' Green

Good stuff.

This one is non-piano, but I still felt the need to post it. Usually electric guitars and orchestras don't work, but believe me - this does!

Steve Vai and Holland Metropole Orchestra - Lotus Feet

The main solo at 3:55 is just wonderful!

Wow amazing stuff

Sublime.

Hi guys
I've been a lurker for some time. I was a member back in the olden days before the big split.These videos are great. I've listened to most of them. Some of my fav's are:

My last piano teacher;

musiclady - great fun!

My favourite, a very young Gould. Part way through he gets up walks to the window while still humming the tune and then returns to the piano to continue playing.

Alltogethermorris, Yes, Glenn Gould. I've also recently found this clip and thought that the interruption was funny, as well as the dog's expressions.

I had the opportunity to see an opera performance of "Eugene Onegin" with music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky which was fabulous and would love to share but it's not on YouTube.

among other things
Kissin - Scriabin Etude Op. 8 No. 12
Kissin - La Campanella
Zimerman - Schubert Impromptus
Zimerman - Chopin Ballades

Fun stuff:

The finest amateur pianist that I've come across on Youtube is without a doubt, a guy named Pianodoc82[/b], who creates his own arrangements and plays entirely 'by ear'. The results are very impressive.

Love this clip - you can see his brain working 100 miles an hour!

Alright, this is an aural performance and not visual but its quite amazing. This is a recording of Mazeppa from Emil Von Sauer, pupil of liszt, and its played at a breakneck speed much like the Berezovsky performance also popular on youtube. the only difference is, this one astoundingly better in my humble opinion. please listen with attentiveness and enjoy.

Mazeppa

My favorite is of Martha Argerich playing Liszt's Funerailles! Her technique is amazing and her hands are so strong! Love it.

This is my latest favorite:

Here's one of my favorites. It's by David Nevue and it's titled "The Vigil"

His YouTube video is on my blog at http://pianomusings.blogspot.com/2008/10/recommended-video-david-nevue-vigil.html

After visiting a London Piano dealer, I stopped off in Starbucks and started chatting to this woman who I'd seen in the dealers....anyway here she is....and a great piece of music:
