There are a lot of great pianists that have come and gone and many are still with us today, but none of them can top Anthony. In my opinion he is the best I have ever heard. He could play any style in any era of time, blues, classical, country, southern gospel,... And not only could he play any style you could name, he had perfected it. He definitely had a God given talent and gift that’s been unmatched anywhere.
He knows the notes and music so well because he is good, intelligent, full of Godly love and has played it hundreds of times! Yes I play the piano. Lol! Not like Anthony Berger did though😊!
One of the greatest pianist Anthony Burger. Now he is playing for God and all of the saints that have gone on. This is one of the greatest songs that has ever been written.
This is pianist Anthony Burger, who played for the Kingsmen Quartet, as a solo artist, and with the Gaither Homecoming Tour. When little Anthony was 8 months old, he fell into a heating duct on the floor of his home and suffered third degree burns on his little face, legs, and hands. Doctors said he would likely never be able to move his hands in the future. BUT GOD!!! And when God showed UP, He showed OUT!!! At the age of FIVE, Anthony was accepted to the Cadek Conservatory at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. As a child prodigy, he was playing classical piano repertoire within a few years. At the age of 14, he released his first album, playing the organ. In 1975, he recorded with The Celestials. In 1976, at the age of 16, he joined the Kingsmen Quartet and stayed with them until 1992 or 1993, when he left to pursue a solo career. He was voted favorite pianist for an unprecedented 10 years in the Singing News Fan Awards and, for a time, the award was named after him. In addition to other sideline projects, he also teamed up with the Gaither Homecoming Tour for about 80 dates per year. Ultimately, he went home to Heaven while in the middle of a performance with the Gaithers in 2006. Anthony was known throughout his career of telling how God healed his hands and that playing the piano was his way of praising God. THIS is the little baby boy who doctors said he would likely never be able to move his little burned hands. BUT GOD!!! "As He went along, He saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 'Neither this man nor his parents sinned,' said Jesus, 'but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. As long as it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.'" --John 9:1-5 "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." -- Joseph to his brothers in Genesis 50:20 The devil had a diabolical, evil, destructive, disgusting, deathly plan straight outta HELL for little baby Anthony Burger's life, BUT GOD!!! But God SHOWED UP, He CANCELLED that plan, and God SHOWED OUT!!! Listen for yourself! WON'T HE, THOUGH??? Christian, you serve a SOUL-SAVING, SIN-DESTROYING, DEVIL-STOMPING, PLAN-CANCELLING, WAY-MAKING, RELATIONSHIP-HEALING, HEALTH-RESTORING, DEBT-CANCELLING, MIRACLE-MAKING, EVER-PRESENT, ALL-KNOWING, EVER-LOVING FATHER GOD, WHO IS THE MASTER OF EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE BELOW AND EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN ABOVE!!! So NOW, tell me... What are you worried about? You better go receive your anointing and WALK in your anointing with BOLDNESS!!! Do that and leave the rest up to God!!! He'll take care of it!!! So hold your head up high, straighten up your crown, and WALK in your anointing like the prince or princess you ARE!!!
I can’t get enough of him playing. I am seventy six the very best I have ever heard. Watching him playing is outstanding. What a loss but we were blessed to see and hear him.
Anthony Burger was and is absolutely one of the MOST GIFTED of all Musicians of ALL Creation. Blessed be the Lord God that He shared Anthony with us even for a short while - thankfully during the age of Audio Recordings and of Video/Audio Recordings, that we do at least still have this Pale Shade remaining to give us comfort and encouragement in our One True Lord God our One True Creator our One True Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus His Only Begotten Son, our Only One True Redeemer and Savior, and also His beloved Holy Spirit, Our Comfort, our Encourager, our Teacher, our Guide Who Will Show Us All Things, and By Him Shall we Be Led into All Truth and Be Set Free .
My Goodness I never heard nothing like this before on a Piano my goodness I can't stop listening to it the Anointing on this man my goodness what is this wow the Anointing is so strong wow.
Anthony is with the Lord He desired to exalt. He and others helped lift my spirit in the weeks and months following my first wife's homegoing. She was a pianist-musician too, and she loved this music. Thank you, God, for technology that allows some of your servants to minister years after they have gone to live with you.
If this gives you chills, and me as well, I can only imagine what it’s gonna be like singing in the ultimate chorus in heaven to the almighty GOD. AMEN and AMEN. well played Tom. Totally awesome
Absolutely wonderful!! What a fantastic version, I love it. What a pianist!! If anyone has had the great privilege in performing collectively in this piece of beautiful music, they will know the feeling of total elation. Thank you for sharing. I listen to this piece of music every year as we run up to Christmas and remember my Dad who used to play Handels Messiah to us (on vinyl) every year. He’s definitely with me here today listening to this. Cheers Dad ❤️😍
Never have I seen anyone played with so much gusto and perfection as Anthony Burger . I praised and thank God for His gift to this special man . Thank you , Anthony . You deserve a standing applause . Keep up the good work in playing to glorify God always . ❤
He sleeps in the grave until Christ returns (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) but what a glorious Gaither Reunion it will be in Heaven when Anthony Burger, with the gift of eternal youth, plays upon the celestial piano. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
God has truly blessed Anthony and his music. Anthony, died on a cruise ship as he was playing, heart attack.Our God needed another great piano player. See you in heaven Anthony.
Absolute genius of a musician. I missed Anthony so much, although I have never had the privilege of meeting him in person, The world has lost a mega talent. Looking forward to meeting him in the new earth. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Am sure Anthony Burger is having a blast in heaven with the grandest piano from that side!! What a wonderful gift he continues to be to all of US! Bless you Bill Gaither & the team. We're surely blessed! Thank you>>
Anyone notice how blown away the late, great Jessy Dixon was in the final seconds of Anthony Burger’s incredible performance, just as he turned and stepped away from the piano?
Dear Bro. Anthony, I keep on watching and listening to the music. How blessed you are with immense talents what God has bestowed upon you. Praise God ! May God bless you.
Watching this yet again in 2021. Fifteen years ago, GOD called Anthony home to Heaven while playing for HIM. Christian men and women literally around the world felt the loss of having that maestro with us....but, the pianos of the world WEPT!!!! I'll see you when I get home, Tony!!!
I have NEVER heard anyone play with as much passion and the love of the Lord as Anthony Burger--cannot wait to get to heaven to listen to him all the time!!!!!!
Soon we shall see Him and sing this to Him as he Returns to Earth to claim us as His Own !! My mother loved singing the Messiah and this piece was her favorite to perform ! She was an AMAZING soprano ! I can pray that she is right now in Heaven singing this with all the Angels !
Cómo que no saben nada Están en la misma presencia de Dios Amén amén Ausente en el cuerpo y presentes al Señor Que no se puede hablar con ellos Eso es otro tema Pero ellos están delante de Rey
I was blessed with Dad being the Former Fiji School of Medicine of Fiji Methodist Chapel Choir from 1953--1959. He introduced me to Classical Music, Opera Music & Protestant Classical Hymns at Birth till I was singing it Fluently at 3 years old. He introduced Handle's Messiah Music especially The HALLELUJAH CHORUS MUSIC @ 4-5 Years Old. From watching the HALLELUJAH CHORUS, I prayed to God that I would love to join A Choir to Praise God with this KINGDOM OF GOD ANTHEM of the Saints Saved By GOD'S GRACE through Jesus & Jesus Alone. Though I never became Choir Conductor like my Dad, all the Protestant Classical Hymns Music he taught me from birth till 12 years old then took a brake for 2 years then continued from my 14 years old till 15, paid off when I joined The Fiji High School International Choir # 16 years old, and our Opening & Closing Item was HANDLE'S MESSIAH! THIS WAS AND STILL IS THE APEX OF MY LIFE EXPERIENCE, Imagine Praising my ABBA FATHER & HIS SON THE LORD GOD CREATOR JESUS CHRIST [JOHN 1:1-30] & HIS HOLY GHOST THE COMFORTER NY SURETY OF ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST. I joined Queen Victoria School of Fiji for 2 years but they did not offer these 2 Majors anymore, no Shakespeare Plays, no Music class, so I left QVS as it's top Student for 2 Suva City Schools. So under the Late Master Bola , I joined The Fiji Secondary Schools International Choir with it's Mini Orchestra with the One Week Opera 2-3 hours a night based on the Broadway on Jews IN Russia called as"ANATEVKA" you can watch Popular International that BROADWAY MUSICAL ON RUclips Channel. It was a pity I Never recorded our Rendition of that Broadway. After 1 year with Master Bola, I attended another School which happens to have Fiji's Renowned I-Taukei Music Teacher Master Eremasi Tamanisau teaching both Youth at NTC & NSS so I was his Private student for we Pure Science students could not take Music, but only Pure Arts students, I was blessed that I was his private student. So now that is my history of LOVING CLASSICAL HYMNS MUSICS & CLASSICAL MUSICIANS & PROTESTANT CLASSICAL MUSICIANS as well.
Anthony Burger was chosen by God to entertain us with his wonderful piano playing. It is sad for us that he is no longer with us but thanks to technology we can still enjoy his playing and his witnessing. One of God’s most faithful servants. What a remarkable talent he was given by God. God bless his family and thank you we got to know him through his wonderful piano playing. Amen
I SO ENVY this pianist's version of the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah." This is ONE REAL TIME I wish I HAD FINGERS so I could learn to play this EXQUISITELY!! Anthony Burger is NOW Heaven's Pianist!
Anthony Burger a truly great man! When we all get to Heaven we can listen to his wonder music. I wonder if the Hallelujah Chorus will be a song the angels will be singing when the Lord comes to take us home. Just think of that glorious meeting in the air. Glory to God in the highest!
"Towards the end of her life, I told my dear Mother that she would be singing the Hallelujah chorus in Heaven this year. I also said "Every time I hear it this Christmas I will think of your soaring voice singing with the celestial choir." She smiled. I heard this version of the Hallelujah chorus today and wept...tears of sadness intermingled with tears of joy. Wow!! If we can make this kind of music on earth...can you imagine what my mom is experiencing in Heaven right now?💝"
I loved Anthony's playing. Now God gets to enjoy his music! What a blessing that must be! Most of the audience proved that in the USA we do not know how to show respect to a king let alone the King of kings. A long time ago, King George of England when he first heard this song recognized the authority of Christ as King over all kings and stood up in recognition of that fact and to respect, honor and to show submission to Christ's authority. If the king of England stood, we should all stand when this song is played. It is like the national anthem to our eternal Kingdom and King. I think I will want to stand in respect of Christ authority but also want to bow in submission to his Holiness. Either way it will be glorious!!!
This performance brought tears. seeing Anthony Burger doing what he did best. Shear God Given Talent. Just beautiful. I imagine he is sitting at the piano at Jesus feet this very minute playing for all the Angel Choirs. can ya'll just imagine..... WOW
Kudos to those who stood!! I've sung this multiple times and it is the most amazing feeling when you look out and hear a thousand people rising to their feet in praise of the King
It has been a tradition, now all but lost, ever since It was first performed for the Queen many years ago. To those who remain seated, they have lost all respect for this great piece is most sacred music or call time!
I found myself standing in my kitchen with my arms reaching up to the Heavens, a smile upon my face, and True Joy in my Heart Thank You Jesus O:) And Thank you Michael Butler O:)
They played it at an Andre' Rieu concert in Dublin and not a single person stood. I was so disappointed in every one. I guess they just don't know. We have seen it at a large Catholic church in our town and one by one people stood.
A legend at his craft for sure, and one gone WAY too young. Him, Doug Riley (Gold City drummer and songwriter) and James "Big Chief" Wetherington (Statesman bass) are my top 3 favorite "gone too soon" members of the Southern Gospel community. What a passionate performance, and it took me MANY times watching this to notice his glasses flying off after that ending glissando at 3:34!
Anthony was soo annointed! Miss him greatly! I cried when I heard he had passed. But what a way to go, playing We Shalll Behold Him in concert on a Gaither cruise! Bless you, Anthony!
There are seriously angels singing on this. At the end I hear like 10,000 singers, and the way it pulls you into that kind of "hype" feeling that this is all you want to do forever, and it's like your battery is plugged into a recharger, and you keep getting zapped with God juice. Wait a minute. Their people aren't singing. It must be a recording.
Absolutely loved Anthony Burger. I could only aspire to play the piano like he did. Such an incredible talent whose life ended much too early. This is my favorite piece of his.
Yes, of course I do realize this is Anthony Burger performing Handel's Messiah. I have sung Handel's Messiah as a 1st soprano in a chorus several times.
OG means Oh God thank you for Anthony Burger. I didn't think The Hallelujah chorus could get any better but he did it. I hope one day to see him in person. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Love and 🕯️ light.,💞
I meant that I hope to see Anthony when I get to heaven. . Rest in peace and know that you touched a lot of lives and brought a numerous people to Christ thru your music while you were here. I had the privilege of hearing him play at one of the concerts when I was 19 years old. I'll never forget it. He changed my life. Love and light to his family who are still here with us. 🙏💞🥀🌹
What a magnificent pianist ever born. Love watching this amazing performance over and over again. Thank you Anthony Burger for this legendary performance. Rest In Peace 🙏. 🇨🇦
I just keep watching this and praising God for this wonderful performance of one of my favourite pieces of music. Anthony, God is so fortunate to have you.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
I believe Anthony had a God given talent gave me chills. RIP Anthony till Jesus comes and calls your name and we all who loved yo ur music can meet in heaven and praise our most Holy and Prescious Lord . for ever!
There are a lot of great pianists that have come and gone and many are still with us today, but none of them can top Anthony. In my opinion he is the best I have ever heard. He could play any style in any era of time, blues, classical, country, southern gospel,... And not only could he play any style you could name, he had perfected it. He definitely had a God given talent and gift that’s been unmatched anywhere.
For sure!!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
What a loss!!😢
Can't agree with you more.
@@jamesmarcum5450, our loss is heaven's gain.
For a man that was never supposed to be able to move his fingers after being severely burned as a child, God sure made it plain that HE is in control!
Michael Butler yes he did. Amazing.
Joel
Thank you for sharing. Sorry for the loss though our creator needs Anthony more than us.
Rebecca Litchfield 1
God is in control of everything, even when we do not realize that fact.
The most spectacular rendition of Hallelujah Chorus I have ever heard!!! AWSOME1
Powerfully awesome rendition! Heavenly!!!
@@margaretburgess6711 8. )
Only because no one could play like Anthony Burger. He played with heart, soul and mind but mostly with soul!
Wow just Wow!
Ever
He did all that without sheet music in front of him, WOW!!! What an incredible pianist he was.
I don't think there is sheet music for the style and talent that Anthony exhibits, purely God inspired.
He knows the notes and music so well because he is good, intelligent, full of Godly love and has played it hundreds of times! Yes I play the piano. Lol! Not like Anthony Berger did though😊!
How amazing!! Anthony now plays in God's orchestra.
One of the greatest pianist Anthony Burger. Now he is playing for God and all of the saints that have gone on. This is one of the greatest songs that has ever been written.
DIOS ES UNA ARMONÍA QUE TRANSMITE FELICIDAD DEL ALMA.
SALUDOS
Douglas Leporati
He always played for the
Lord even while he was on this earth!
I agree!
Amen
And He shall reign forever and ever......Hallelujah
This guy was remarkable!!!! 2020 and still watching. Really a gift from God
Amen

You never know what God can do for you - if you allow him to. The problem is letting go and allowing him to.
I can’t get enough of him playing. I am seventy six the very best I have ever heard. Watching him playing is outstanding. What a loss but we were blessed to see and hear him.
!Wow! The pianist! I'm speechless. How did he get that energy.
This is Brilliant.
He played as he was worshiping his God and his Lord. Every song was a form of worship for Anthony.

God has truly blessed Anthony and his music. Anthony, died on a cruise ship as he was playing, heart attack.Our God needed another great piano player. See you in heaven Anthony.
Amen
Greatest pianist ever...GOD needed good music that's why he took him home in heaven to play great music for him there , respect Sir Anthony.
IMHO: This is NOT the result of practice; this is a gift from God.
Amen! I practised so much...and never came anywhere near to his gift..
Ditto
A bit of both, God gave Michael Jordan the best genetics but he worked hard to become the best. Same with this man
Loved Anthony Berger...the greatest of all time! Our loss....Gods gain. R.I.P.
Absolute genius of a musician. I missed Anthony so much, although I have never had the privilege of meeting him in person, The world has lost a mega talent. Looking forward to meeting him in the new earth. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Well done Anthony you did your part on earth to God be the glory Hallelujah
Amen
To this day Anthony Burgess still blesses my soul. A truly Christ anointed pianist.
That’s how music should be !! Inspiring hallelujah indeed.
Hi Karen hope you're okay?
Am sure Anthony Burger is having a blast in heaven with the grandest piano from that side!! What a wonderful gift he continues to be to all of US! Bless you Bill Gaither & the team. We're surely blessed! Thank you>>
Jessy Dixon’s reaction @ 3:32 is almost as priceless as the performance itself!!!
It's like his mortal body could barely contain his joy and intense desire to worship in that moment.
Anyone notice how blown away the late, great Jessy Dixon was in the final seconds of Anthony Burger’s incredible performance, just as he turned and stepped away from the piano?
Anthony Burger era el crack de los cracks
That enthusiasm is infectious. Heaven must be having a rollickin' good time with him playing up there!
Anthony Burger was a legend on the organ!!! May God be pleased with his service and ministry! Earth’s huge loss
Amen
Awesome doesn’t even begin to describe this performance. The piano was on fire when he finished!
I think God must be very pleased to watch this. He healed this man so that he could play this music. Music to praise God.
WHAT AN AMAZING TALENT. GOD BLESSED HIM AND THEN TOOK HIM HOME TO PLAY FOR HIM.
RIP anthony burger one of the greatest gospel pianist ever

Amazing that a man's fingers can dance along the keyboard that fast and never miss a beat. Amazing.
Wow! What a gift! So thankful he glorified our Lord with it! I miss him! How is God using his talent in heaven! I can’t wait to see!
Watching this yet again in 2021. Fifteen years ago, GOD called Anthony home to Heaven while playing for HIM. Christian men and women literally around the world felt the loss of having that maestro with us....but, the pianos of the world WEPT!!!!
I'll see you when I get home, Tony!!!
I have NEVER heard anyone play with as much passion and the love of the Lord as Anthony Burger--cannot wait to get to heaven to listen to him all the time!!!!!!
KING OF KINGS,AND LORD OF LORDS! FOR EVER AND EVER ! HALLELUJAH!!!! JESUS! !!!!
I honored the tradition and stood up while watching this.
Soon we shall see Him and sing this to Him as he Returns to Earth to claim us as His Own !! My mother loved singing the Messiah and this piece was her favorite to perform ! She was an AMAZING soprano ! I can pray that she is right now in Heaven singing this with all the Angels !

Perhaps the absolute best version of this most incredible piece of music ever. The speed and timing is simply magnificent. Want a job!

If the king of England stood, we should all stand when this song is played. It is like the national anthem to our eternal Kingdom and King. I think I will want to stand in respect of Christ authority but also want to bow in submission to his Holiness. Either way it will be glorious!!!
This performance brought tears. seeing Anthony Burger doing what he did best. Shear God Given Talent. Just beautiful. I imagine he is sitting at the piano at Jesus feet this very minute playing for all the Angel Choirs. can ya'll just imagine..... WOW
Kudos to those who stood!! I've sung this multiple times and it is the most amazing feeling when you look out and hear a thousand people rising to their feet in praise of the King
By tradition...everyone is to stand during this chorus.
It has been a tradition, now all but lost, ever since It was first performed for the Queen many years ago. To those who remain seated, they have lost all respect for this great piece is most sacred music or call time!
I found myself standing in my kitchen with my arms reaching up to the Heavens, a smile upon my face, and True Joy in my Heart Thank You Jesus O:) And Thank you Michael Butler O:)
They played it at an Andre' Rieu concert in Dublin and not a single person stood. I was so disappointed in every one. I guess they just don't know. We have seen it at a large Catholic church in our town and one by one people stood.
You're right...I do so miss being able to sing!
Most spectacular indeed ! Glory to God ! I’m sure he’s playing in the heavenly choir
What an incredible guy. Indeed a great earthly loss but God has gained an angel pianist in heaven.
Anthony was the.best! His enthusiasm was amazing. Miss him, but God must have other work for him!
Surely. The day that the Lord called Anthony home was the day He needed his greatest pianist for the angelic choir.
Love his Piano style. Praise the Lord he has joined the finest singers we've ever been graced to hear. He's ALIVE in Paradise
A legend at his craft for sure, and one gone WAY too young. Him, Doug Riley (Gold City drummer and songwriter) and James "Big Chief" Wetherington (Statesman bass) are my top 3 favorite "gone too soon" members of the Southern Gospel community.
What a passionate performance, and it took me MANY times watching this to notice his glasses flying off after that ending glissando at 3:34!
How we miss Anthony Burger, He could play a piano like no other I've ever heard. He used his talent to serve God!!! RIP❤️🙏🕊️⛪🛐☦️🕍🎹💔
Anthony and his music were a Gift from God . . . Hallelujah!
Anthony Burger was one of the very few that actually worshiped God as he played. Now he plays for his Master in God's Heavenly Orchestra.
Anthony was soo annointed! Miss him greatly! I cried when I heard he had passed. But what a way to go, playing We Shalll Behold Him in concert on a Gaither cruise! Bless you, Anthony!
WHAT A BLESSING! from Anthony! He is in heaven now, playing for OUR LORD!
My favourite piano player. Amazing talent
Anthony Burger could MAKE a piano TALK! Now he plays for God in Heaven EVERY DAY, I'm CERTAIN!
Lisa l'il BIG AU fan on a golden piano no less. Amazing!
Breath taking, just plain beautiful. The passion, the way the piece was meant to be played.
There are seriously angels singing on this. At the end I hear like 10,000 singers, and the way it pulls you into that kind of "hype" feeling that this is all you want to do forever, and it's like your battery is plugged into a recharger, and you keep getting zapped with God juice. Wait a minute. Their people aren't singing. It must be a recording.
I thank God for the privilege of watching him and listening to him
glory be to Jesus what a piano player touched by God's hand. AMEN and AMEN
I could watch him for hours...what an awesome gift we had for a bit🤗
Incredible! I can't imagine what it would be like to see that in person besides heaven!!!
He is playing by air. How excellent. What raw talent! May he have a place in God's kingdom.
Absolutely loved Anthony Burger. I could only aspire to play the piano like he did. Such an incredible talent whose life ended much too early. This is my favorite piece of his.
+Jody Bell You do know that this "piece" was written by George Friderick Handel in the 17th century in London? It was not a piece by Anthony Burger...
+lord daver, you are both correct. This is an arrangement of Handel's Messiah by Anthony Burger.
Yes, of course I do realize this is Anthony Burger performing Handel's Messiah. I have sung Handel's Messiah as a 1st soprano in a chorus several times.
hehehe!!!!! you know Brother Anthony is serious when he stands up as he is playing :) SO INCREDIBLE!
OG means Oh God thank you for Anthony Burger. I didn't think The Hallelujah chorus could get any better but he did it. I hope one day to see him in person. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Love and 🕯️ light.,💞
I meant that I hope to see Anthony when I get to heaven. . Rest in peace and know that you touched a lot of lives and brought a numerous people to Christ thru your music while you were here. I had the privilege of hearing him play at one of the concerts when I was 19 years old. I'll never forget it. He changed my life. Love and light to his family who are still here with us. 🙏💞🥀🌹
Absolutely incredible! Rip Anthony Burger!💞
What a pionist he was, incredible, unbelievably great, etc., etc. WOW
Speechless. Never thought this can be played like this!
What a magnificent pianist ever born. Love watching this amazing performance over and over again. Thank you Anthony Burger for this legendary performance. Rest In Peace 🙏. 🇨🇦
Greatest piano pianist ever RIP Anthony Burger.1961 -2006. Heart ❤ Attack.
I had to stand this morning DURING THIS GREAT SONG!!!! THERE ARE NO WORDS!
What a great Pianist....I believe He is playing again in Heaven.
Someday I am hoping to see him...
Anthony Burger..
Great Pianist
Beautiful. Thank you. I just read about your history - your hands were burnt. Wow! Love witnessing yet again one of God's Miracles and Tenderness.
Oh my Lord! Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! He was loaned to us for just a short time... and now he's home...
I just keep watching this and praising God for this wonderful performance of one of my favourite pieces of music. Anthony, God is so fortunate to have you.
Fabulous piano player -he had that very special gift for playing. He passed away way too young. Bless you!
Revelation 19:6
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
