In this things near 10 year existence, how have I never heard this before? This is one of the most beautiful covers of this I've ever heard, probably my favorite! Excellent job! Richard Wright would be proud :)
Vika... you are the ONLY person I know who feels the minimalist beauty in those opening notes by Richard Wright. I know you felt them too, because you chose to end your rendition with them, as well. Excellent performance of those moods. I loved when Richard played the grand through the Leslie, but I didn't miss it in this non-effected performance.
Echoes is not a "cosmic" song. It's very internal, and this is exactly what this performance reflected. Wonderful. ...and I like the boots. Nice touch.
It is both. The original work in progress was called 'The Return of the Son of Nothing', which contained lyrics from a poem by Iqbal about planets passing in space and if only they might embrace, to paraphrase.
This performance was inspired and beautiful - I can't tell at this point how many dozens of times I've listened to this. Someone I just put it on loop and listen again and again. Amazing.
My father was a huge classical music lover. I played this for him one time. He compared it to Revell and loved it. Told him it was Pink Floyd. LoL Who? Break boundaries and share the love. Brilliant piece played from the heart.
Having a glass of wine and listening.................. yes....................................... full of pauses ... wonderful...... Don't stop........................................................................................................................
I am in tears...how incredibly beautiful this is. Well Done. You have brought the Magic and Feeling of Pink Floyd to all who hear this. I so love this...a beautiful tribute to our dearly loved and dearly departed Rick Wright
"Echoes" Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks And no one tries No one flies around the sun Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky.
Perhaps my faveourite cover of a mk ll Floyd song by anyone, ever. Totally captures Richard Wright's uniquely minimalist and hauntingly beautiful genius. Truly stunning!
Jiří Housa You just dont understand nothing, at all. It isnt just that floyd isnt a pop band, also it is you asuming pop music doesnt express anything, it may be that, popular music only focus on how to get to the public with trends and all of that, and pop is popular music, but that doesnt mean that all pop music dont have anything to express or that what pop music express isnt good enough as, i dont know, wagner expression. Listen to the last album of tame impala, then you will understand that pop have a lot to offer. (sorry for my english)
Recently discovered you through this wonderful interpretation and became one of your fans. Every now and then, I come back to this post and listen to such an incredible performance. Echoes is one of my favorite songs ever; your video reminds me of the countless nights spent just listening to that, lying in my bed when I was just a 13 year old girl full of dreams. You are a special super star! ❤
First time Ive seen this . There aren't enough words of beauty that can describe this piece of wonderful perfection. Tears of joyful happiness are flowing . Rick Wright would indeed be so delighted listening to this . Because he was a wonderful person .
Вика, Вы очень тонко прочувствовали Echoes, до мурашек. Грация ваших движений, пластика рук - целое шоу!Никогда ещё не слышал настолько качественно проработанной интерпретации этой композиции. Просматривал это видео бесконечное количество раз...на слух подобрал несколько любимых отрывков) Для меня оно стало хрестоматией!Крепкого здоровья, и больших творческих успехов, у Вас они не за горами!!!
richard wright would love too hear this.i cry when i hear my favorite song nothing will beat echoes from my favorites.when i die i won't echoes played and the great gig in the sky.i was playing great in the sky when my grandpa died.i am sure it was the most pretty thing he heard.
Rick Wright is proud of you. And i believe he's proud of anyone who enjoys and perpetuates his memory and his music. From the age of 6 to 12 i studied organ and some piano. I regret so much having stopped. I can't remember anything nowadays in more technical terms... but overtime i lay my fingers on a keyboard it looks so natural for me... I need to go back to it, 21 years later... you are inspiring.
Что за удивительная девочка!Как чувствует не просто музыку,не только душу Pink Floyd...под ее чуткими пальчиками оживает эхо далеких времен,с его страстью и великолепием!
Pink Floyd уходит в вечность.... В одну компанию с Моцартом, Бетховеном... И они этого действительно достойны... И Вы, Vika, сохраняете эту прекрасную музыку для потомков...
ia toje tak dumaiu. no togda kogda ludzi pastavit pink floyd vmeste c mozartam getxovenam baxam i chipinam mi naverna uje ne budzim jivim, ksajileniu ludzi asaznaiut geniosav pozna.
Excuse me, Miss..... but playing Echoes on the piano gives you the key to my heart. I've been a Pink Floyd fan for 45 years and this is my favorite piece of music on Earth.
..music is forever...no way....this is fantastic...I like this track since ever...it will never bore me....i can compare it to the best music written by Bach...Beethoven etc etc...BRAVO....
Truly AWESOME !!! One thousand congratulations and many thanks from a 67 years old Pink Floyd fan who got the Meddle album ( with Echoes ) just when it was released, about October 1971 !
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard...you ARE the music...so beautiful. Incredible arrangement, never will I hear anything else like it. Thank you for your work and your gift of loving your music so much you must share it. 🕊
I loved this song since it was first release. The soundtrack go the first time i got high in 1973. I just recently thought of trying to play it on keyboards and I've been having fun for a couple days trying to come up with exactly what I found on this video - A powerful solo piano version. Lovely.
At exactly the same time, i am in tears, and in love. This was spectacularly beautiful and beautifully spectacular. I echo the comments that say Rick Wright would have been proud.
Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand The best I can. And no one called us to the land And no one crosses there alive. No one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the sun....
It is to me to thank you. Because you make me fly out of the troubles here around me. Can you imagine that I write to you from the rest of my country Syria hope you know where it is.
....do you remember VIKA you were playing this exactly 5 years ago...in zurich..you play majestic not only pink floyd covers..all that you play is gold..congratulations VIKA!!!
Vika, I'm speechless!! I'm fascinated! One of your best performance. Hard rock and just one single piano is a difficult challenge, what you're able to "transport" very good. But every time when u play something from Pink Floyd, it transports more than music, it's an unbelievable feeling...
At the near end of 2020, I am crying watching this.. One of the greatest videos I discovered on RUclips.
2023. Same
It is.
I feel your words
Echoes is a music form outerspace .... something between hapiness and sadness
Xerxes 450 Search for "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite Echoes" on RUclips. It's fantastic.
Aleister Gein I know it's been 3 years, but THANK YOU. That was pretty awesome.
Esspecialy when it is propperly played.
something between heaven and hell, something between life and death, something between ligth and darkness
I would say something beyond
She plays it like it was originally written for piano. Beautiful!
In this things near 10 year existence, how have I never heard this before? This is one of the most beautiful covers of this I've ever heard, probably my favorite! Excellent job! Richard Wright would be proud :)
thank you very much
Pink Floyd is a thought or a philosophy and she definitely has got it.
A feeeling
Vika... you are the ONLY person I know who feels the minimalist beauty in those opening notes by Richard Wright. I know you felt them too, because you chose to end your rendition with them, as well. Excellent performance of those moods. I loved when Richard played the grand through the Leslie, but I didn't miss it in this non-effected performance.
I've been listening to Pink Floyd for 45 years, Echoes is not my favorite. Now I'm literally crying at the beauty of your cover.
Thank you very much.
Over the years, this has become my favourite interpretation.
Me too
Уже много лет регулярно захожу,что бы послушать этот кавер. Просто невероятное звучание.
Echoes is not a "cosmic" song. It's very internal, and this is exactly what this performance reflected.
Wonderful.
...and I like the boots. Nice touch.
Thank you
Echoes is about the ocean's abyssal zone within all of us
It is both. The original work in progress was called 'The Return of the Son of Nothing', which contained lyrics from a poem by Iqbal about planets passing in space and if only they might embrace, to paraphrase.
The best Pink Floyd cover I have ever seen or heard. Absolutely top class!!!
This performance was inspired and beautiful - I can't tell at this point how many dozens of times I've listened to this. Someone I just put it on loop and listen again and again. Amazing.
Thank you very much.
Excellent. I forgot how the piece starts almost without any harmony then slowly falls into chords... very nice.
Thank God for the creators of classic rock...it will never die and it is immortalized thru the conception of wonderful tones.
12 years since I first heard this version...still amazing
My father was a huge classical music lover. I played this for him one time. He compared it to Revell and loved it. Told him it was Pink Floyd. LoL Who? Break boundaries and share the love. Brilliant piece played from the heart.
The power, the finesse, the emotion, the perfection, I have listened to this now many times but again thank you Viki.
Viktoriya has been one the greatests pianist ever and still is. Countless hours spent on her videos. Really astonishing.
I never dreamed anyone would cover Echos!
James Salter this is a greatest surprise to me, too. And I'm so grateful to Victoria for creating this cover.
Why not? Already 45 years ago, as a young boy I tortured my neighbours with my very own Echoes piano cover :-)
It is not cover, it is a transcript
That's the clearest example of what Ludwig Van called "playing with passion".
I would add Franz Liszt to your observation... 😎 ..by way of Richard Wright...
Same thoughts were in my head when i had listened this for the first time. Great LvB would aprove this!
Having a glass of wine and listening.................. yes....................................... full of pauses ... wonderful...... Don't stop........................................................................................................................
By far the greatest piano cover of any song. Wonderful articulation, wonderful composition. You should be proud of yourself
I am in tears...how incredibly beautiful this is. Well Done. You have brought the Magic and Feeling of Pink Floyd to all who hear this. I so love this...a beautiful tribute to our dearly loved and dearly departed Rick Wright
"Echoes"
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks
And no one tries
No one flies around the sun
Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.
Excellent, but I think it's Billowing, rather than willowing, makes better sense.
No it's willowing
did u note that 10 minutes-long gap between first and seocnd part ?
Modern music sucks. Just look at these lyrics. If there is someone today writing stuff like that please point me in their direction.
If you imagine how a willow tree moves in the wind I think you get the sense better,
Взяло за душу! Великое произведение от великих музыкантов в шикарном исполнении!!!! Браво! Рик Райт, я думаю, в восторге бы был..........
Perhaps my faveourite cover of a mk ll Floyd song by anyone, ever. Totally captures Richard Wright's uniquely minimalist and hauntingly beautiful genius. Truly stunning!
Thank you
I think mk 2 was when both Gilmour and Syd were in the band
Great, great performance. Vicky goes very deep in understanding what Richard Wright wanted to express.
Please, it´s only pop music. What expression?
Please, you're just being a snob.
Pink floyd isn't pop justin bieber ls pop
Jiří Housa You just dont understand nothing, at all. It isnt just that floyd isnt a pop band, also it is you asuming pop music doesnt express anything, it may be that, popular music only focus on how to get to the public with trends and all of that, and pop is popular music, but that doesnt mean that all pop music dont have anything to express or that what pop music express isnt good enough as, i dont know, wagner expression. Listen to the last album of tame impala, then you will understand that pop have a lot to offer. (sorry for my english)
What the actual fuck? Did you just call Pink Floyd pop :D. You really are a fucking idiot.

Echoes is one of my favorite songs ever; your video reminds me of the countless nights spent just listening to that, lying in my bed when I was just a 13 year old girl full of dreams.

Лучшее исполнение, что я слышала. Нет слов! Вы и пианино - одно целое!
Beautiful!!! ...but too short! I'd love to hear a real build up in the middle section. Please, do a longer version!
I think the same than you (I'm spanish, my english is not good, sorry!)
This is exactly what I would imagine this piece of absolutely music mastery to sound like on piano alone
Thank you very much
First time Ive seen this . There aren't enough words of beauty that can describe this piece of wonderful perfection. Tears of joyful happiness are flowing . Rick Wright would indeed be so delighted listening to this . Because he was a wonderful person .
Absolutely fantastic!
I've listened to this song at least 10102391310983 times and you got it all to the last detail...
Love to hear you live...
I am speechless. Can't imagine what she would do with the full 20 minute piece - it would be beyond sublime.
Вика, Вы очень тонко прочувствовали Echoes, до мурашек. Грация ваших движений, пластика рук - целое шоу!Никогда ещё не слышал настолько качественно проработанной интерпретации этой композиции. Просматривал это видео бесконечное количество раз...на слух подобрал несколько любимых отрывков) Для меня оно стало хрестоматией!Крепкого здоровья, и больших творческих успехов, у Вас они не за горами!!!
Thank you very much
Спасибо Виктория! Замечательное исполнение замечательного произведения.
richard wright would love too hear this.i cry when i hear my favorite song nothing will beat echoes from my favorites.when i die i won't echoes played and the great gig in the sky.i was playing great in the sky when my grandpa died.i am sure it was the most pretty thing he heard.
Same here. Echoes makes me cry too...
You played the great gig just as he passed? Wow, not a bad way to go
I would absolutely love to hear the entire echoes piece played. I bet a LOT of people would. The part you played here captured it very well.
Simply Amazing! Excellent transcription, wonderful and sensitive interpretation. The result is very profound.
Rick Wright is proud of you. And i believe he's proud of anyone who enjoys and perpetuates his memory and his music. From the age of 6 to 12 i studied organ and some piano. I regret so much having stopped. I can't remember anything nowadays in more technical terms... but overtime i lay my fingers on a keyboard it looks so natural for me... I need to go back to it, 21 years later... you are inspiring.
Это просто потрясающе!!! не думала что можно переложить Echoes на ф-но) любимая группа плюс любимый инструмент) спасибо)
It is not possible that's why only Viktoriya can do it :)
I keep coming to listen to your rendition of this masterpiece and this is still the best there is. You're a genius. So underrated.
One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs beautifully done!
I just love, love, love.. this arrangement, Vika, you're a gorgeous genius !
Что за удивительная девочка!Как чувствует не просто музыку,не только душу Pink Floyd...под ее чуткими пальчиками оживает эхо далеких времен,с его страстью и великолепием!
Thank you. Your version of this Floyd classic has me awe struck.
Pink Floyd уходит в вечность....
В одну компанию с Моцартом, Бетховеном...
И они этого действительно достойны...
И Вы, Vika, сохраняете эту прекрасную музыку для потомков...
ia toje tak dumaiu. no togda kogda ludzi pastavit pink floyd vmeste c mozartam getxovenam baxam i chipinam mi naverna uje ne budzim jivim, ksajileniu ludzi asaznaiut geniosav pozna.
Top, well done! Remember me when i was by Pink Floyd at Rotterdam then (Netherlands)! Pink Floyd was always by me!
Absolutely timeless X
One Pink Floyd letter on each finger, and there's still one left for you to do whatever you want. Very beautiful, Vika. Thank you!
Beautiful cover! And couldn't have been played on a more perfect piano! That thing sounds magnificent!
stunning job
im crying... this is amazing
What can you say about this really? I am speechless (again, having heard her play it 100 times already). It's simply phenomenal.
So gifted. Amazing musician. And a great version of echoes. Thank you
Excuse me, Miss..... but playing Echoes on the piano gives you the key to my heart. I've been a Pink Floyd fan for 45 years and this is my favorite piece of music on Earth.
OMG !!! Amazing !!
My favourite PF song ..
It will take me till I die to learn this on the piano 😂😂
Rick Wright would be proud !!
There are no limits to piano transcription. This is GREAT and there is no limit to how great it can be!
Richard Wright would surely of wanted to shake your blessed hand, I know I do XD
Beautiful jazzy bits from 1:15 to 1:40 give another flavor...and then around 1:50 the fat classic chords.... Amazing
..music is forever...no way....this is fantastic...I like this track since ever...it will never bore me....i can compare it to the best music written by Bach...Beethoven etc etc...BRAVO....
Truly AWESOME !!! One thousand congratulations and many thanks from a 67 years old Pink Floyd fan who got the Meddle album ( with Echoes ) just when it was released, about October 1971 !
Sublime. Conseguiu capturar a essência da música original. Gratidão por tocar nossas almas com esta melodia magnífica.
Richard Wright. Pink Floyd. The greatest there ever was, and ever will be. Music is the pathway to true happiness. Humanity's only hope. Right here.
Echoes isn't about space. It's about being deep underwater, and then flourishing out as a brand new person.
Encore merci pour vos interprétations de Pink Floyd .
Merci Georges.
I imagine this as the soundtrack to the creation and destruction of life
It's amazing how you're capable of translating the original song's feelings to the piano version, vika you're a beast!!! Love your videos
Thank you for this magical musical moment !
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard...you ARE the music...so beautiful. Incredible arrangement, never will I hear anything else like it. Thank you for your work and your gift of loving your music so much you must share it. 🕊

Que belleza!! Me hizo acordar tambien a Erik Sartie. ❤👍
Great arrangement and neat, really emotionally involving execution. Never thought "Echoes" could be rendered so good on a piano.
U made me cry 😱😍
Richard Wright master piece!! Absolutely enigmatic..out of this world!!
Watching you play Piano brings happiness on my face every time.I hope we meet some day.
At exactly the same time, i am in tears, and in love.
This was spectacularly beautiful and beautifully spectacular.

Outstanding skills with knowledge and understanding of the pink. Floyd music

It just gives me goosebumps... this is art. Perfectly played, you're awesome!
the echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand and everything is green and submarine... Absolute poetry!, musical, lyrical and even visual
Absolutely amazing!!!!!
This is when I started watching your videos. I have been a big fan for years. You inspire me as a musician and your playing is fascinating. Love you 💙
This is gorgeous, right down to the rockin boots
i didn't notice the boots untill you mentioned it - yeah, those were really rockin boots.
New Rock's...
A cover which can be proud to be. Emotional. Great

Tears fell from my eyes. Congratulation! You're very beautiful. No words!
I lost track how many times I saw this video. It's wonderful....
Not ashamed to admit you made me cry :P
I have never seen such clear expression of feelings as in this cover.... unparalleled.
Hey VK, will you ever attempt the almost epic piece of music that is called Shine On You Crazy Diamond?
