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.
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.
Beautiful work
One of the best piano players I have ever heard live in my life.. His control over sound is amazing
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!
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?

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
Sensational
What I love about Brad Mehldau is how very deliberate he is with not only every note, but also with the sustain pedal. You can hear every, single note.
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
As Keith Jarrett, this man is a gift, with such an inspiration for us.
Ok but how do you feel as @mountassirhamada?
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!
@@TheNat11 💚
He plays with soul, as if he listens to this beautiful song every day since forever.
Mehldau is a genius. Wonderful sound on this piano.
There's something magical about a song that works from beginning to end. What a source of joy and nourishment.
Oh Lord, Brad plays with his heart, smoothly and delicately.....from his emotions to our emotions....BRAVO!
Stressed out coming off a long and crowded Tube ride after a busy day in the city, closing myself in a dark bedroom, and putting this on. My heart rate is at least 20% slower and my anxiety and exhaustion are halved. Just gorgeous.
When I was little, all my toys were under a Steinway Grand piano!!!!!The bass strings are a miracle!!!
the chord substitution and harmonic playfulness is borderline perfect
Or perfect!
Dinamica spettacolare, ogni nota al punto giusto, goduria, un grandissimo pianista
Fantastic. One of the greatest living artists meets one of the greatest songs ever written. Thank you Paul and Brad.
Just...wow! Thank you Brad, thank you Beatles.
One of the best musicians ever. And human being too. Loved his interview about Bach, very humble.
Music is the world written betwen the seconds of time and pages of life.
What a wise and discerning definition!
What a lovely piece for the ultimate Little Chill-Out.
One could play this on a loop into Eternity !!
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=Love. Go, Brad, Go!
Love his articulation and release of notes.
.. like that, yes .. releasing notes ..
After antibiotics, Brad Mehldau is the best thing, that has happened to mankind.
Superbug checking in-uh Brad who?
It is healing
@@daraj123 I guess that people who have had syphilis doesn't agree with you
😂😂
Just amazing
so touching!
Beautiful rendition of this lovely Lennon/McCartney song.
No Lennon.
This musician has something magical in his playing
Steinway + Mehldau + Blackbird - an absolutely sublime pairing, thank you!
add blonde with big tits and it's perfect
His left hand playing constant bass while able to dance like that... Wow.. and even giving accent on each touch.. wow
He plays with great precision and control. Slowly becoming one of my favorite modern pianists.
What a sound!
Marvelous ...at :"the Instrument of the Immortals " perfect pair, Mehldau and Steinway!!
That Steinway sounds beautifully at his hands.. such a Maestro.. lucky us we can see this
So lovely, Brad.
Watched because its one of my all time favorite tunes.
One of the finest jazz pianists of this XXI century. Mix of clasist and modern jazz blend.
I love grand pianos 😍
The control that he has on the volume of each and every note is unbelievable, an absolute masterclass if only just for that reason.
A true master
facts
A real hall of famer ❤🤩🤩🤩

What a great jazz interpretation of a Beatles song really wonderful
The power of simplicity.
Best timing in the world. Amazing guy!
Exactly!!!
Maravilloso, de lo mejor y más bello oido, Beatles for ever.
Wow! Brad plays songs that are wonderful and makes them better.
Brad Mehldau is amazing!! Thanks for your music, man!!!

I have only one word for this 'Steinway Factory': PARADISE. What a sound, Heavenly. 🌷🌷🌷
Best ad for a Steinway, or any instrument, imaginable.
When the anericans are top, they are at thtop of the,sky. Bravo Brad you are important musician who brings joy
It's so magic how he plays this beautiful song!!!
An arrangement that brings this song to greatness played by a pianist extraordinaire. Thk U.
Sublime……
Beautiful!
Just a fabulous rendition of this timeless song. I used to walk my dog to this song on the headphones...perfect...Thanks, Brad.
Absolutely gave me goosebumps amazing pianist.
This was a real pleasure to watch.
Simple perfection!
Yes, you are so right. It is all that needs saying.
Wonderful
This is beautiful. Wow I could spend hours just listening to more of his variations of a song.
Beatlefull.
Quelle superbe relecture de Blackbird !
Great!Great! I have seen him playng many time ago in Bologna.
So lovely! Makes me wonder what Bill Evans would have done with this.
Merci, très joli...
Simply gorgeous.
... and the clear tone of that GORGEOUS Steinway!!!!!
Very nice. I like how he takes a simple melody and makes it sound so complex.
This is oh so fabulous and I could listen again and again - perhaps I will! Thanks for sharing this spectacular musical moment with us!
Beautiful .... Brad ! ~
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.
Wonderful!
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.
Just beautiful!
Really great.
Wow. Will be listening to that infinity times...
astonishing All the Music Masters love the Beatles
Bravo! It is so interesting to compare the two masterpiece piano version's of this piece, this and the other one.
Bravo!! 😊
I have been there in the early 70th for nearly 5 years.
Epic talent.
Gob-smackingly gorgeous.
Спасибо. Шикарно
What a wonderful rendition .
Brilliant….!!!
