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.
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 🙏🏿
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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?
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!!!
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.
Yes. It saddens me that people are so used to listening to music this way that engineers less and less often record/mix/master music with full dynamic range and a sense of openness of the space.
@@pauldavisthefirst Absolutely.....knowing that means you have to leave it off of the original mix/master in anticipation. I am not really even looking to blame any one person, just lamenting the loss of true dynamic, expressive recordings.

by the way: He turned the piano arround, away from the auditorium, It's a touching sign of how much musicians might suffer, not being able to play in front of the audience

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! ❤️

Grandissimo. Stimabilissimo. Creativo. Nessun confine invalicabile tra jazz e molto molto altro.
Greatful
Best pianist of this years
Keeping distance is an outstanding piece of music
Sounds like me when I try improvising on any song LOL
Che meraviglia
impeccable.
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
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!
First music i ever heard that´s taking up the pandemic topic ! Marvellous, thank you!
My favourite musician of 'our times'....thank you Brad!!

Tears are gushing, I don't know why.
Wow! I felt bad not being able to attend your cancelled concert in Amsterdam. This is quite a consolation. Thank you.
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.
Absolutely beautiful compositions. So very touching. Thank you, Brad. 🙏
First artist to my knowledge that comes up with creative, Corona-themed music
Thanks for the wonderful Valentine concert.
Genius.... Things behind the sun. Dream Brother. Florida/Amsterdam connected.
My god .... that’s so nice .... marvelous room, marvelous piano and marvelous Mehldau.
Beautiful. I’m fighting the tears

Awesome

I saw Brad play live solo at Dartmouth College in 2018. He was amazing! One of my favorites!
The audio compression is too much. Dial it back and let the music breathe again.....
Yes. It saddens me that people are so used to listening to music this way that engineers less and less often record/mix/master music with full dynamic range and a sense of openness of the space.
You know the YT applies crazy levels of compression, right? Regardless of whether it was there in the original recording.
@@pauldavisthefirst Absolutely.....knowing that means you have to leave it off of the original mix/master in anticipation. I am not really even looking to blame any one person, just lamenting the loss of true dynamic, expressive recordings.
@@AlanBlackman we haven't lost them. You just can't listen to them on YT :)
Click on Stadistics (right mouse on screen) you see 1.9 db content loudness, youtube and the new standards of music normalization...
Always so inspired by your musical depth and willingness to explore. Beautiful as always!
우리 부래드오빠 보고싶어 ㅠㅠ 영상 넘 고마워요!👍❤️
thx
Very nice of you to be living and performing among us subhumans, Brad.
I don"t know a much about jazz music but this great musician certainly pronouced "consertgebouw" correctly!
en jazz ce pianiste a une technique qui lui permet d avoir une intonation une rythmique de chacun de ses doigts qui amène a une musicalité aimante
Oui???.....
¡¡Maravilloso!!!!

Satellite !
The incredible pianism, virtuosity and subtlety of musical pointillism. No words, genius. 🙏
Bimhuis'ta çalmak yerine Concertgebouw'da mı çalıyor? İçindeki kvılcımı yitiriyor olmalı...
