The piano

I saw this thread yesterday and watched the latest episode on catch up.
So glad GN alerted me.
I was overwhelmed by Lucy's performance. Just listened to it again tonight. It is really incredible she can play this well with her disabilities.
I'm astounded. So movimg.

This is such an uplifting programme, a real joy to watch🙂

I watched it last night for the first time and thought it was a lovely programme. Interestingly, when discussing Lucy, Lang Lang explained that when practising, pianists often lose the emotion of a piece but he felt Lucy's. The way in which she was taught was interesting but left me wondering if she still learns in that way.

I thought that the pianists ranged from good to excellent. More of the latter so a difficult choice.

There was a blind pianist in the final of Young Musician of the Year. He didn’t win it, but he certainly deserved his place. It’s amazing how other senses take over when sight fails. I wish I could warm to Mika - he’s a bit overpowering for me.

Loving this.
Not sure about last weeks chosen pianist, I would have liked the red haired lady to be chosen.
Last nights was very emotional with a difficult choice to make. Wow, that girl was incredible.

Some real talent tonight, shame that the only choose one.

Loving this show, what an emotional roller coaster tonight.
I've recorded it for my minded children to watch tomorrow.

I really enjoy the Piano. they are all so talented. Lucy with her disability is incredible.

I didn't see this last week - was out with the 'Girls'. Just texted my DD to say I was watching - she's appreciate it too & was so moved, was actually going to start a thread! So pleased to see one already here.
Lucy, Yes amazing.
The Piano is now added to my Series Links.

So beautiful I wept.

Definitely was. What a talent she has.
Fantastic program. Enjoying every minute

Amazing. No words.

It’s Wednesday, 9.34
Is anybody else moved to tears?

Whilst I am in awe of all the pianists involved I’m afraid I didn’t think Jay was a worthy winner, but to be honest none of them swept me off my feet. Poor Lang Lang looked like a fish out of water. I can’t help thinking he didn’t have a lot to do with the result.

It was great wasn't it and I'm so pleased that Jay got through. I thought he was brilliant and also really liked the the mother with the autistic son who played her own composition, it was very moving.

Just a passing thought, Claudia's husband is rather handsome, shame she didn’t dance😀

I really enjoyed it. Our train to London ends up at St Pancras and it’s always entertaining to hear the piano being played.
Glad they’re using a different station next week, a bit of diversity.

Which channel? I love piano music, I dabble myself, we still have one, cluttering up the living room.

It was on Channel 4.

Well worth watching. Next week, they are featuring Leeds station.

I am looking forward to watching this on catch up. I too always stop and listening to street pianists. I managed to pluck up the courage to play the piano in our station concourse. These Foolish Things Remind Me of You had people hurrying to get away from me😁!

We loved it, including our 14 year old DGD. The 92 year old man played just as my Dad did, a style from the 30’s/40’s.
I preferred the lady with the red hair, who used to entertain professionally, and who sang beautifully at the end.
Lang Lang is wonderful.

I thought it was a fabulous program. I always stop and listen to people playing instruments in the street. They are so talented.
