It's like turning a crystal in your hand and seeing it how it catches the light.
That’s a beautiful image
Yeah exactly. He's like a jeweler examining a gem..
Very nicely and eloquently put, Sonortubelug.
Beautiful comment❤
What a lovely way of describing his playing.
That continuous G was amazing considering everything else going on.
His playing is so inventive. His newest “I am the walrus” cover is pretty wild. Very little sustain, very minimal until the end. Worth the listen.
Well spotted
It is the piano version of the foot tapping of the original
It's impressive!
@@andcivitarese well the original also has a G playing through the whole thing!
He has such incredible control of dynamics among the voices. Breathtaking.
Playing a lot of Bach helps.
@@frednow Chopin, as well.
@@CWBellayes, due to the enormous influence of Bach on Chopin
Always glad to see Bach get the praise he deserves! @@frednow
Totally agree. He's a master, and pulling off things that the legacy of improvised music has only strived for. It's so beautiful I wish other past pianists like Abdullah Ibrahim were still here so they could witness this too.
Just can't stop watching it. The simultaneity of his absolute perfection and the realization that I am a musical idiot adds to complete the experience.
Why would you be a musical idiot?

The Beatles keep being resurrected time and again. Beautiful interpretation.
The genius of McCartney: so much texture and meaning in seemingly simple melodies.
Yes, and great melodies can certainly live different lives. Perhaps I was just in a receptive mood or maybe the exceptional performance, though never showy,
I found it entrancing.
I’ll look for other things from him
This man is a gift and such an inspiration for us, pianists, as well as for everyone who like the beautiful music and sophisticated harmonies
Well said
Lovely simile
Sorry that was in response to the crystal image above
Being back here 2 years later. Brad MehlGod
So many years have passed since I sat in a little club in Hollywood shoulder to shoulder with friends to hear Brad and his trio. I knew I was experiencing a once in a life moment. The elegance and eloquence of his voice is so deep and rich with feeling. Rilke in his fingertips.
Late 90s? I saw him in hollywood with Joshua Redman. Mind blowing.
@@JAYDUBYAH29 another great musician. He was with his trio - all stellar.
Lucky Man !
Rilke in his fingertips is like the most beautiful way you could describe what he does there!

Listening for the 30 or 40st time, cannot get enough of it. It´s like a blackbird in the yard, singing its beautifull chant
Mehldau is a genius. Wonderful sound on this piano.
When I was little, all my toys were under a Steinway Grand piano!!!!!The bass strings are a miracle!!!
Lucky girl! Did that inspire you to play?
Fantastic. One of the greatest living artists meets one of the greatest songs ever written. Thank you Paul and Brad.
He plays with soul, as if he listens to this beautiful song every day since forever.
the chord substitution and harmonic playfulness is borderline perfect
Or perfect!
One of the best musicians ever. And human being too. Loved his interview about Bach, very humble.
What a lovely piece for the ultimate Little Chill-Out.
One could play this on a loop into Eternity !!
Music is the world written betwen the seconds of time and pages of life.
What a wise and discerning definition!
There's something magical about a song that works from beginning to end. What a source of joy and nourishment.
Just...wow! Thank you Brad, thank you Beatles.
Love his articulation and release of notes.
.. like that, yes .. releasing notes ..
Wonderful. Tears came unbidden
I've listened to and played folk songs from all over the world, and I always come back to this one when I think of the best folk song in the world.
Steinway + Mehldau + Blackbird - an absolutely sublime pairing, thank you!
add blonde with big tits and it's perfect
Whoever tuned that piano did an amazing job.
Brad Mehldau is amazing!! Thanks for your music, man!!!
Best timing in the world. Amazing guy!
Exactly!!!
What a great jazz interpretation of a Beatles song really wonderful
Wow! Brad plays songs that are wonderful and makes them better.
Steinway=Love. Go, Brad, Go!
Marvelous ...at :"the Instrument of the Immortals " perfect pair, Mehldau and Steinway!!
*It's eternity in there*
Watched because its one of my all time favorite tunes.
This musician has something magical in his playing
An arrangement that brings this song to greatness played by a pianist extraordinaire. Thk U.
Beautiful work
A true master
facts
Absolutely gave me goosebumps amazing pianist.
The control that he has on the volume of each and every note is unbelievable, an absolute masterclass if only just for that reason.
Maravilloso, de lo mejor y más bello oido, Beatles for ever.
I love grand pianos 😍
0:36 I love how he adds another voice above the melody but plays it so delicately to keep it from overshadowing the voice in the middle, such a simple but nice touch.
Yeees 🥺🥺🥺 I've noticed too! So delicate, so warming...
Mehldau’s touch and velocity control is of the greatest in the world. Independent finger control that is so hard to match cause of the sheer years of dedication it takes to get there! He’s a true master of the piano!
exceedingly pianistic in the best way
That's him showing he is a true heir of Bach
That Steinway sounds beautifully at his hands.. such a Maestro.. lucky us we can see this
I have only one word for this 'Steinway Factory': PARADISE. What a sound, Heavenly. 🌷🌷🌷
You taught me the wonders of music again.
Simple perfection!
Yes, you are so right. It is all that needs saying.
Beautiful, my brother. Great song, pure piano tone, terrific & surprising lines. Played with emotion fitting to the song. Excellent stuff here. Ya!!!
A real hall of famer ❤🤩🤩🤩
This is beautiful. Wow I could spend hours just listening to more of his variations of a song.
It's so magic how he plays this beautiful song!!!
One of the finest jazz pianists of this XXI century. Mix of clasist and modern jazz blend.
This one is the most wonderful thing I`ve ever watched/heard. I can´t help but keep watching/hearing it, over and over. Brad Mccartney is not any longer a human being, they are an angel.
PURE DELIGHT. Lovely technique. Unmissable !. London Fan.
the more i listen to this the more gnarly i think it is. what amazing touch and feel this guy has!
Such simplicity and beauty.
This is oh so fabulous and I could listen again and again - perhaps I will! Thanks for sharing this spectacular musical moment with us!
Wonderful
beatiful...🙏🙏🙏
So lovely, Brad.
“WOW” is the only word I can think of to describe this incredible cover of this incredible song. I love the song and I am in awe of the musician. Thank you lots❣️🎶
Beautiful
Just beautiful!
Just wonderful…
Just a fabulous rendition of this timeless song. I used to walk my dog to this song on the headphones...perfect...Thanks, Brad.
it is absolutely amazing
Elegant and interesting treatment
Thank you
Masterpiece played by a master. I used to try to write songs, and I wrote a lot of them. There was one I was really proud of for several minutes, until I finally realized I'd just done a (bad) cover of Blackbird. Songwriting is really hard, humbling work. I guess unless you're Sir Paul. On the plus side...I think it does give an extra dimension to your appreciation of the greats if you've given a shot at writing songs yourself.
Nice and sensitive touch!
Me emocionó muchísimo.. GRACIAS por tocar tan hermosa pieza ❤️
Perfect!
What a great version of this song, totally caught the essence of it in a quiet, charming way. Loved it.
I have been there in the early 70th for nearly 5 years.
so touching!
This was a real pleasure to watch.
Just amazing
Beautiful .... Brad ! ~
Gracias Brad por tanta belleza
This is such a great performance, very talented! I like it even better than the original
Wow. Will be listening to that infinity times...
he looks like he is in a piano shop. Imagine being in that shop and overhearing this! wow!
Quelle superbe relecture de Blackbird !
... and the clear tone of that GORGEOUS Steinway!!!!!
Utterly lovely. Ahhhhhh...
Really great.
Lovely, Brad
Your are my favorite piano player now, because I think or feel that you create with your own sensations and freedom
Throughout the universe, in all its size and grandeur, matter was organized in this being, Brad, unique in the entire universe, there never was and will never be another one like him. And we can enjoy his music in life.
Exceptional! Thank you, Brad, for the inspiration.
A masterpiece of an interpretation, bravo!
Sensitive and a treat for the soul. Terrific arrangement and musicianship.
Thank you for this. As I dig deeper, I now see more. Thank you for the Peace and emotions you brought me this night.
This was the quietest whisper of a song, with the most resounding, emblematic message of our generation (proud to be a Boomer).
Brilliant….!!!
Beautiful ❤
Merci, très joli...
Wow I have never heard the Beatles played so well on solo piano. Great stuff.
I'd hear of him, but hearing him is an absolute joy. He's a thinker and a cooker.
😳
Epic talent.
Great!
Such beautiful touch.
Beautiful interpretation. He underscores the marvelous talents of the Beatles
Excellent fingers..Imagine being in that room..As a piano player ,,how could you ever walk out ???
