Here's the great James Taylor with his superb classic Fire and Rain Or for something really unique try Alison Krauss' Let Me Touch You for Awhile Regards, JF

Big fan of the Krauss, here. Her Live in Kentucky album is just brilliant!

Yes, I actually meant the whole collection.
As endless and constantly recurring threads about Lang-Lang have proved, these antics are a matter of taste of course, but I actually like to be visually entertained also (why a video if you sit like a statue and have the facial expression of an undertaker?).

Some great performances listed above. However, I believe this one is almost more than a sensitive heart can bear. It's Artur Rubinstein's performance of the 2nd movement of Chopin's Piano Concerto #2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5IG3H6RBGI&feature=related Kathleen
Chopin’s music is all I need to look into my soul.

Originally posted by Peyton: What a riot! Talk about "getting into your playing":... [/b]I actually quite despise that because it distracts the viewer from the actual piece. It's not charming or cute, it's just unseemly. If you are making a recording, this is okay but if you are a concert pianist or you are filming yourself this really detracts from the performance in my opinion. At least he has good taste in the pieces he picks though.
Bach - WTC I in C major & C minor (BWV 846-847)
Mozart - Sonata K 282
Chopin - Polonaises Op 26
Schumann - Fantasiestücke Op 12

If you enjoy haunting melodies in your piano music as I do, perhaps you'll enjoy this beautifully emotive pianist playing a beautifully evocative work: Rachmaninov Vocalise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek-GwyUOmUs Played by, Daria Rabotkina

Hi Dennis, If you enjoyed Rubinstein's performance of that Chopin piece, I would like to introduce you to one of his students, Dubravka Tomsic, whom he brought over from Slovenia in the 1950's, at the age of twelve, to personally train. While I could not find a video of it, this audio of her playing the same Second Movement of Chopin's Piano Concerto #2 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard done on ANY instrument. See if you don't agree. Enjoy!! Dubravka Tomsic
