Despite his incredible showmanship and staging the inescapable fact is that he was also a truly powerful and gifted pianist...it was not just all hype...HE COULD REALLY PLAY
I got to meet Liberace in 1982 at the Country Club he was a member of in Palm Springs, I was there to do repair work on the Club's photo copier. I got a personalized autograph, that I still have and is one of my prize possessions. I was never really a fan of piano music, but as a human being Lee Liberace was a decent, kind and amazing man.
I love hearing his piano music..played so powerfully and beautifully..thank you for posting this..and to Liberace for your timeless inspiration and huge talent. RIP!
Une magnifique découverte, capable de mélanger les genres avec un talent inégalable, il a eu le courage de s'affirmer dans une Amérique pudibonde au milieu du siècle dernier, un pianiste extraordinaire, merci
The fact that someone was able to get that rich and famous from being a classical pianist is mind blowing to me. You sure as hell couldn't do that today.
He was shunned by the classical purists. That's why he went into being an entertainer. It's only in these clips that were preserved and through a modern lens we can see his genius and technical proficiency that was egregiously besmirched by those smug cretins whose names are lost to oblivion whereas Liberace lives on to inspire millions. His name is used in more pop/rap/hip-hop than any other celebrity in history. I hope there is an afterlife where he can see the phenomena with satisfaction and vindication. XoXo ❤️
@@WellbredNfedKembleTV Yeah, I know what that's like because I used to work at a failing classical music radio station. People in the traditional classical music scene have their heads so far up their own butts, its ridiculous.
He was a child prodigy and could have and should have been a great classical pianist but he chose to be a entertainer instead. As a child in the 1950s I never missed one of his shows on a Sunday evening.❤🎉

I love watching him play classical music and considering how much time it took master that particular piece .

……lucky you!
He didn’t play the piano, he was the piano. The passion!!!!!
The greatest pianist that ever lived.
Liberace has passed away, but his music hasn’t. It remains outstanding in the music hall of fame!
Liberace was indeed a piano genius... love his staccato!!!
..and me too!
My father, a classical pianist, played this a lot when I was growing up. A stirring piece, and Liberace's version is outstanding.
Perfection. Listened to this as a kid 35 years ago or so, still love it today! My favorite piano performance of all time.
There are no words to describe this genius......sublime!!!!!!
absolutely talented pianist! RIP Liberace, your music will live for ever....
So talented, charismatic, and handsome.
Блестящий виртуоз импровизатор слушаю с удовольствием спасибо!
I’m speechless except for one word. BRILLIANT!!!
I think he might be the most beautiful person to have ever existed.

Bravo !
İ Will Love you liberaci i dont forget you
Damn, he's good. Never will forget the time on the Smothers Brothers he got pulled over for playing too fast.

……same here!
Master
Not much expression on his face but somehow that was the most passionate performance I have ever felt 😎🤗
