George plays Prokofiev Toccata in an Empty Hall

[@SasukeBIWA]

Thank you, George! Today is a special day for me. I ‘Super-Thank’ you for the first time.

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you very much Nariko and your cute Sasuke!! See you soon in Tokyo!!🙏🙏🎁😃🐶🐶🐶

[@SasukeBIWA]

@@georgeharliono I'm going to Tokyo too 🐶, although my owner will turn me off. 　from Sasuke (aibo : robotic dog)

[@georgeharliono]

@@SasukeBIWA oh noooo, so sad 😢

[@SasukeBIWA]

@@georgeharliono My owners say they can turn me on if George allows them to do so, except during your recital🐶🐶🐶 I would love to meet you and show you my dance 🕺 from Sasuke 🐶

[@BarryWaterlow]

@@georgeharliono If only more musicians realized like you do that performance venue acoustics are a major part of what their instrument(s) can do. Awesome performance young man.

[@christinamartina2914]

Could not stop listening. Great.

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much Christina 😊

[@stefanholz7166]

Außerordentlich! Fill the hall. Adoring. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💐

[@ilovemycatrussell9298]

We can’t fill the hall. Only a certain amount of people are allowed in there because of Covid-19, and they have to wear masks and sit 6 fix apart.

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you Stefan!!

[@joelkatz8729]

What a beast of a piece. Bravo!

[@georgeharliono]

It definitely is a beast!!! 😄😊

[@Erik83474]

No words!!!! Thanks so much AGAIN dear George!

[@georgeharliono]

You're welcome Erik 😊

[@donhulbert1913]

Brilliant !

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much Don!!😄

[@chrisk8187]

The magnitude of your playing goes without saying. What, to me, is extra special, is your accessibility and refreshing approachability.

[@georgeharliono]

Thanks for your kind comment Chris! Stay safe 😊

[@michaelsmith697]

I agree. George has a wonderful control of accuracy and a brilliant ability to interpret the music according to the composers wishes. And his music memory and technical expertise is extraordinary!

[@m.a.5540]

A very hard piece. You play it great. I love your playing!

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you very much! Yes it is a bit difficult 😅

[@thays3649]

This is such a wild beast and yet George creates the most stunning performance where he, the piano and the score are all perfectly aligned. Astonishing playing. (A masterclass here in terms of pedalling technique) I have not heard such refreshing innovative musicianship which always has us as listeners on the edge! Please keep posting!

[@joshuaslater7858]

Can hear every voice. Nice.

[@stefanholz7166]

Not the squaring of the circle, but the architecture of playing the piano and the piece. Perfectly balanced and played. Thank you.

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much Stefan!

[@freespirit995]

Very nicely played, especially as the slightly measured pace allows the narrative in the piece to come out. Bravo!

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you!!! :))))

[@JesseSabo]

This performance is equally astonishing every time I watch it. WOW.

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you Jesse!!!

[@gerbs139]

Awesome display - perfect balance between control and reckless abandon.

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you Gerald! Glad you liked it 😊

[@alwaysuseless]

I think I know what you mean, but I suspect the "reckless abandon" is what Prokofiev wrote. I'd say instead that George nailed it.

[@ЛогуновДмитрий]

Expressive, energetic, excellent! Dear George, we always admire you!!!👏👏👏💐

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much Dima!!!

[@billiechong6172]

Wow ... I’m totally amazed by the speed and your perfect touch on the keys to interpret the song’s intensity. Bravo! You’re brilliant!!

[@georgeharliono]

Thanks Billie! Yes its a pretty fast piece 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@carnivalcruiserbill]

This is not a song. It is a piano composition, not a vocal one. Please do not use "song" as a general purpose word.

[@christophereldridge8643]

Hi George. Thanks for the link. I had actually already found it a few days ago and left a comment to which you graciously gave an answer. Of course I watched it again and it was just as exhilarating. Best wishes to you and your brother Josh. Chris.😀😀

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you Christopher! Yes I remember your comment 😊 THank you for your support!

[@lucasdelliosiv7493]

That was amazing! I can't wait to hear more of Prokofiev's works played by you!

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much Lucas!!

[@judithpugh3975]

Seeing you in concert at the Bury Festival in 2019 was the highlight of the festival for me. Really great to see you perform this piece and I'll definitely be in the audience next time you perform at the Apex. Thank you for recording and sharing this.

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much Judith!! I hope I'll be able to play at the Apex again soon 😊 Here is another video I took at the Apex: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKPdeWajna1mhaM

[@rsteinberg100]

Amazing. Made music out of that piece. Even elite pianists just bang away. One of the true greats in piano- George H

[@bludika]

this piece seems like it's so easy to end up as nothing but bunch of noise if you don't play it well

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much 😀

[@debrucey]

That was tidy AF. I love how you're able to bring out a lot of details at this slighty slower tempo. I had no idea before that there were trills at 1:16

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much 😊

Right?? George's tempi are spot on virtually all the time.

My mind blows everytime I saw you played a Piano. That Fingers are INCREDIBLY BRAVE giggling every keyboards with all their might. I just cant imagine you grow up so fast. The first time I saw you online is a sweet and cute little child playing a street piano and now I was amaze looking at you..

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much Jianessa!! 😊😊😊

[@tthinker9897]

Breathtaking! How could anyone memorize or play this piece? If I hadn't seen/heard it, I would not have believed it possible. Usually I enjoy more melodic and harmonious classical, but this piece is captivating in another way. Thank you Mr. Harliono - again!

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you T!!

[@srobindittrich6599]

I'm not a pianist, just a music lover whose ear can sense and feel the emotion of fantastic technique! Wow! I've subscribed and will love listening to your virtuosity.

[@georgeharliono]

Thanks Robin for the sub!! I am glad you enjoyed it! Stay safe!!

[@GirlMomma]

He's the best!! You've got to see some of his videos when he was a little boy, I think 10 years old and playing the piano in public places. You'll go on a video binge like I did for days watching him play!😁💕

Bonjour, a beautifully performed masterpiece. I was enthralled by the intensity that flowed like wonderful tapestry of Mother Nature impulses. Intoxicating to the heart and mind 🙏❤️

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it 😊

[@PhillipLWilcher]

Dynamic and assured, George. It also seems to me well-contained which I think speaks directly to the condition of it; to the character of Prokofiev. In that, and for me, is it perfect! Blessings!

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you so much Philip! 😊

[@PhillipLWilcher]

@@georgeharliono Pleasure!

[@baldy555]

Thanks George. Wow you have grown to become from that cute little boy in the park in the rain to a mature professional. Your playing as a little boy brought tears to my eyes, got me hooked to The Lark, and made me into a real fan of yours, just like a fan of Miles Davis that I am. Thank you and keep up the fantastic work.

[@georgeharliono]

Thank you Baldy!! I will post more videos soon!

GEORGE GEORGE GEORGE No one plays it at this tempo, and THEY ALL PLAY IT WRONG. YOU play it right. Yup, it actually has MUSIC in it!!! And you DGAF about proving how fast you can play. TY ✅👍😁❤️🦊

[@georgeharliono]

Some people do play it a little too fast 😅 Glad you liked the tempo Tom 😊

[@rravvia]

@@georgeharliono Another one like that is the Suggestion Diabolique. You need to give the harmonies time. I bet you'd play that well. For all of that, I bet Prokofiev played them too fast, as composers tend to do.

[@rravvia]

@@georgeharliono BTW although I'm not a real pianist, I did use the Toccata for my music school auditions at about that tempo!
