Brad is Awarded Performance Of The Night At The Final Concert | The Piano Series 2

[@alidabaxter5849]

Brad is a truly lovely young man, and his gratitude to his foster parents is incredibly touching. He's amazingly talented, but so perfectly acknowledged everybody else who took part. A treasure who deserves so much happiness in the future.

[@ppauline1515]

I was so pleased to note that his twin was just as ecstatically pleased for Brad’s success as everyone else! He was thrilled and so emotional, it brought me to tears. Brotherly love at it’s best!

[@angelwhispererindigochildx9538]

I was in a hostel and met Brad and Abbey..and thier daughter phoebe..I am so proud to see him on here ..he's a beautiful soul they deserve this more than any one xx keep shining brad x

[@quincary5791]

I'm baffled how this lovely guy can write such accomplished music - he can't read music and has never had a lesson in his life. Simply extraordinary. I hope all his musical dreams are fulfilled.

[@uranusskies]

He's aligned with the divine 🙏🏼🥰❤️

[@seacoto]

Gifted is so many ways .....

[@raymondpulham1600]

My mother had a family friend who could not read or write never had more than 6 months of continuous schooling due to her father being a shearer travelling all over the country working but Rene could okay the piano, never had a lesson, once she heard a tune played she could repeat by ear the tune in all its glory, a natural talent like this young guy well done to him and his foster parents

[@Tracertme]

Playing by ear is the ultimate….❤

[@wilsanders2492]

@@Tracertme, I couldn’t agree less. It can certainly be wonderful, but being able to speak a language is certainly not superior to being able to speak it AND read it. At some point in one’s evolution, perhaps they will even become skilled enough to write it with the notations. While praising this young man (who certainly deserves praise on so many levels), be careful that your praise of him doesn’t end up denigrating others who perhaps played by ear till age 8, then did the hard work of learning to read and maybe do concert level performance after practicing 6+ hours a day 24/7/365. Bless him, but saying that something less than complete mastery is somehow BETTER and MORE commendable than one who perfects the craft is not true in any sense.

[@herethereandeverywherebeat2273]

Brad is simply a genius and I hope he really gets a chance to shine now. The world is a better place for him.

[@jpmasters-aus]

When he started, I thought this was good. Then, I was trying to work out the classical pattern he was using. Then the emotions came, bugger the technicalities of the music. In this piece, he not only wrote the notes and all the Italian musical descriptions, but he also wrote emotion through it. A masterpiece. The piece was delightful and modern in classical style. I’ve never heard of him before, not the show. I somehow think only a few musicians on the show will rise to his standard. I’m sick of having to use many tissues.❤

[@vessiecakes]

Emotions can't be written on a stave 💜

[@9_kicksfooty]

Man, you can express your feelings properly

[@ladybug160]

Absolutely! Brad is a self taught Pianist. He cannot read or write music 🎶 And he had never had a music lesson at the time of his first audition. This is raw talent! ❤

[@essexgal2085]

Deserving winner. Brad, if you're reading this, i truly hope that a career in films happens for you. Congratulations and enjoy your moment.

[@jenniferwotton4544]

A million hugs to you Brad and a million more to your foster parents for giving you all the support, amazing 👍🙏👌

[@wornormy2]

[@JordanHunter333]

What a beautiful sharing of experience and support, David. I'm so moved, and wish all the very best for you in your life. Thank you for such caring solidarity and recognition of a "brother-in-arms" (maybe not the perfect phrase, but I hope you'll feel my meaning). May you be blessed. 🙏❤🙏

[@FRASERMCGREGOR72]

That's what true love can do and looks like. The perfect thank you to his foster parents who showed him and his brother love when they were at their most vulnerable. Just beautiful circular energy of reciprocal love.

[@HPB1776]

OMG, this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. What an absolutely amazing young man. Amazingly handsome, humble, honest and a genius with such strength and tenacity. As a mum of a child adopted from care, well done to your wonderful foster parents. Such a very difficult job but the rewards have come back to them 1000x. What an inspirational person you are Brad. I'm in floods of tears and in awe of you. Love from Manchester. ❤

[@giulianagiacomini6718]

The music flows through him, pulls you in, and sweeps you along on a deeply emotional journey. For those few minutes, you forget everything else happening in your world and beyond, and get to experience the absolute magic he creates in his. Genius.

[@paulbaxendale914]

Brad, what an astonishing piece of music you composed here. Like many I was literally moved to tears, & still am each time I listen to it. Partly because in your piece I feel overwhelmed by the love in the music, I think of my late wife, my one & only true love. Thank you so much for exposing your incredible talent on TV, genuinely I really hope you get the big break you deserve. 👏👏🤞🤞👍👍

[@albertscanlon2005]

Music....thank God for Music...Wow!! listen up Education chiefs...Music should be on a par with Mathematics, Englsih and Science. No other subject, idelogy, or medium can move you like Music. This young man epitomises what someone can do when they have that feeling to go and produce something so emotional, evocative, emotional and undescribable in its beauty that i defy any human being not to wipe a tear and feel a surge of heartfelt joy and happiness when this young man plays. You can coach,teach , lecture, talk but the beauty of the soul and the beauty of this young man's heart and soul poured out and wrapped the audience and me in a higher spiritual, beautiful place for 2-3 minutes that i did not want to leave or end. His beautiful soul and heart is matched by his wonderful caring foster parents. Humanity at it's finest.

[@robertmcnamara5407]

Everything you said . Thank you, you put into words what my gut, heart and brain experienced. When will education/curriculum administrators realise music requires Math, Science and language to create, as an addition to our hearts, souls and emotions.

[@EileenTombs]

Brad that was superb x

[@damonluke506]

This is why I love piano. Favourite instrument and this is why

[@JoyCavanagh-sg9rv]

Wow such an amazing musician and composer. His music tells a story which is wonderful to hear .❤️

[@serajfakir]

Wow!!!! Never have i cried for an instrumental performance. I could hear and feel the emotion and the emotions that he had while playing it was priceless

[@JasonAshworth]

An outstanding piece of art, he is world class. I love it.

[@ericsainte290]

This is simply amazing. Already after only a few seconds I had movie score vibes in mind... those two pieces I heard you play and composed for your foster parents and your daughter have characteristics I find also in great movie scores composers like John Williams : the music tells a story. And like often with John's scores (the best example being Star Wars), you can see the story in your mind while listening to the score. I hope one day I have your own movie scores in my playlists alongside those of John Williams, Harald Kloser and Basil Poledouris to only name three of my favourite ones.

[@patriciawhitfield-ix9mr]

[@ContentJapaneseMaples-gk8ji]

I am an independent visitor for a child in care. My young man has had four different foster carers , some better than others. Brad's carers have made a naughty scally into a fine young man. They should feel so proud. If only I could do something as wonderful.👏👏👏

[@danscrivens7339]

You’ve no idea he was a ‘naughty scally’ he was just a child in care, what a daft comment you sad little ming

[@sandrajohnson3636]

Sorry, I must have missed the part where they said he was a “naughty scally”. Just because he went into care does not mean he was naughty, maybe his mother couldnt cope.

[@ContentJapaneseMaples-gk8ji]

He told us himself he was a scally, when he first played on the station.

[@2588lora]

Sorry but who said he was “naughty” it is often trauma!

[@Muksanim2012]

Brad's story is heartwarming. His talent is amazing.
