Desert Rat Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 She always blows me away when she plays. The first time I heard her play Desert On The Moon in 2006, I knew she was not going to disappoint in her performances.

Marzzz Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Is it called BBC Proms because she is wearing a Prom Dress? Also, does anyone know where I can get TABs for that song?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz+ Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 There are free transcriptions of her performing that tune . It is " I Got rhythm" by Gershwin. Some German pianist transcribed her very similar previous rendition and shares it along with a bunch of other transcriptions bundled as the " hiromi collection" transcribed by Andreas Haberlin.

ElmerJFudd Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Haha. The Proms is a major Brit event. An annual musical celebration! A promenade festival if you will. Described really well by Wikipedia actually, the Proms "is an eight-week summer season of daily orchestral classical music concerts and other events held annually, predominantly in the Royal Albert Hall in central London, England, UK. Founded in 1895, seasons now consist of concerts in Albert Hall, chamber music concerts at Cadogan Hall, additional Proms in the Park events across the UK on the Last Night of the Proms, and associated educational and children's events. The season is a significant event in British culture. In classical music." Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George88 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Have mercy. Saw her 7 years ago with Stanley Clark and Lenny White in Japan and she was incredible. However, this is bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Muscara Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 This is not a slam or anything like that, but some of those fast parts remind me of Bugs Bunny cartoons.

MathOfInsects Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The stride section is insane. The whole thing is off the hook, as she always is. Players like this always seem like proof that aliens walk among us. Now out!

Mark Zeger Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I marvel at her jaw-dropping technical brilliance while experiencing no emotional or visceral connection to her music. Maybe its just me. Ive seen her at Newport in a few settings and cant make it through more than maybe 10 minutes or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathOfInsects Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I marvel at her jaw-dropping technical brilliance while experiencing no emotional or visceral connection to her music. Maybe its just me. No, I think this "kind" of player is about something different from emotion (other than exhilaration and awe). I think of it as the difference between, say, acrobats and dancers. They use the same "instrument" (their bodies), but one is a "display" and one is an invitation. Now out!

MalH Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think of it as the difference between, say, acrobats and dancers. They use the same "instrument" (their bodies), but one is a "display" and one is an invitation. I like that analogy. I think the temptation of possessing such a phenomenal technique is to explore it fully at the expense of musical expression. There are players who have gone in this direction then returned more to the emotional side, resulting in perhaps a richer palette at their disposal e.g. Gonzalo Rubalcaba.

CEB Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 This is not a slam or anything like that, but some of those fast parts remind me of Bugs Bunny cartoons. Seriously ..... That is one of the greatest compliments you can pay to a composer/performer. This would be an interesting premise for a thread on what happened too great composers. My premise is the line of great composers continued but they are not the modern composers classic music geeks promoted. ( Though I do like Bernstein and Stravinsky) They are people like George Gershwin, Carl Stalling, John Williams, etc.... Carl Stalling and some of the other Looney Tunes composers were titans.
