We met one day in Franconville, France. Can’t believe this happened. After all these years listening to you. Almost cried of emotion. You’re an example for me and I believe for many others for both the freedom of your choices and your ability to play in or out of the rules. This concert is just one more example of that. Keep being yourself Monsieur.
The Concertgebouw is probably the most stunning hall I've ever been in for music. I suspect the engineers have got the recording process in this hall down to perfection - it is just wonderful
At 9:17, "IV. Stopping, listening: hearing" I hear a little Arvo Pärt and also a hint of church music. Nothing wrong with that at all. We are listeners that can hear and associate. The more I listen to the this, the more I like it.
Brad Mehldau is such an inspiring pianist. It is admirable his aproach to music, never heard of a greatest dissonance. Great things to listen and learn. Long life master 🙏🏿
PROGRAM TIMING: I. waking up 0:03 Brad's explanations 1:09 II. stepping outside 4:00 III. keeping distance 6:28 IV. stopping, listening: hearing 9:18 V. remembering before all this 11:01 Here’s That Rainy Day - Van Heusen/Burke 14:30 Satellite - John Coltrane 18:04
This moment, a fractal in time, a spiral of space - dissonant. What you yearn for, in your depths, is reconciliation, reunion. And then timelessness. With or alone... Music runs the line, the edge, the space between. A taste, an echo, a reflection, of truth. Maranartha!
His playing no matter how sophisticated, complicated always speaks to me. He manages to keep his music always accessible. His compositions are highly melodic and cinematic and as much as it’s listening music you could still use it for movies accompanying scenes effectively. And on top of this you always hear his sound, groove and style! This guy is a living legend, love him!
Despite loss and melancholy, thanks to this initiative, we stay in touch with beauty and Artists like Brad Mehldau. We still hope we will meet each other again. And it's soothing. Thank you.
Hats off to Brad , Netherlands culture, and the sound engineers! My Quad elctrostatics are outstanding in response to the audio work. BM always inspires us; the Man in the River of Music. Here's to the next live concert in public.
So glad to hear and see you playing. As always not from this planet. Your musicality is so inspiring! Also miss your trio! Hope to see you and your guys soon again!!!
This is mega talent, mega practice with mega commitment and mega determination, perfectionism, uncompromised focus, and some shear luck. Not all musicians have all this alas. But Mehldau has it, and more factors too, probably!
What I liked most in this set were his take on two jazz standards. He's a very interesting pianist that I should have paid a lot more attention to when he first came on the scene 20 years ago! I'll be searching out more of his music.
April 2020 is a diary we all are a part of. Wonderfully composed and played. We will rembember this year and how Brad think about it. And then "Here´s that Rainy Day", Can it be better?

I just discover this. Thanks for this quality sound and video.
Whoever recorded this did a fantastic job, such a rich piano sound!
I was just thinking that!
@@heavypiano I just bought a new speaker and the clarity of the recording is sublime! So lovely. Bravo to Brad and the crew!!
Brad Meldau + Steinway D + Concertgebouw Hall is great place for an engineer to start!
Brad and Co - ninja! ❤️

Meraviglia pura. Grazie Brad❤️
This venue is so live. The instrument is gorgeous and Mehldau sounds like he is heaven.

and Giant Steps too? Goosebumps!

Keeping distance is an outstanding piece of music
Sounds like me when I try improvising on any song LOL

One of the most original musicians and composers of this and last century. His piano music is familiar and strange at the same time.
familiar and strange is it
Fabulous and so pure "Brad" sound! How have we missed this! Thanks and stay safe....
Che meraviglia
Best pianist of this years
First music i ever heard that´s taking up the pandemic topic ! Marvellous, thank you!
impeccable.

Genius.... Things behind the sun. Dream Brother. Florida/Amsterdam connected.
My favourite musician of 'our times'....thank you Brad!!
