Gorgeous! A majestic and beautiful arrangement, played with strength, passion and tenderness in honour to this awesome film and score. Today, you are Maximus Davidmus Hickenus, commander of the Ebony and Ivory Armies, General of the Arpeggio Legions and loyal servant to Shigeru Kawai. Your name is Gladiator of the Keys and we are entertained! ✬🎶❤

[@chillingbing4life]

As a 105BC kid this really brings back memories.

[@dantheman1337]

This really helped lubricate my eyes

[@ilovecats581]

Me too....!!! Lol

[@cymar1000]

I can't tell which is worse, beautiful music or those damn onion ninjas LOL

[@mrbobby6969]

I have selected this for the funeral of my mother saturday 30/11/2019. It will be the music at the end of the cérémonie when the coffin is leaving. Thank you

[@dynamiclizard1098]

I'm so sorry for your loss. She is free now

[@lac19951]

I'm so sorry for you life. May her soul rest in peace forever.

[@FreeDOS07]

Sorry for your loss. Perfect choice. You will see her someday, but not yet... not yet! Stay strong, mate.

[@JoeDirtDang]

Sorry for your loss man. A month from now will be 4th year of my mom's death, and it's still fresh. I wish you patience and peace.

[@d.k.1394]

How was da funeral

[@danielsweeney8934]

This rendition goes straight to your soul...Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[@shimenga1]

0:56-1:42 hell yeah!

[@dantheman1337]

Chills time

[@thaismagalhaes5854]

Simple magic ❤️

[@DaynJo]

*Utterly UTTERLY superb.* Later today, my electric piano arrives... And so begins "my " journey. *This.... surpasses inspiration.* To play like this a dream.

[@JEDR_MUSIC]

This man is literally playing heaven-like music barefoot !!!

[@ckl5590]

My son has played barefoot since he was 4 ( 14 years) .It never affected his lessons or performances. He plays at an advanced level like this fellow. My son would play in his underwear if I’d let him. But truly, all I care about is that he plays.

[@kamaroolrushdan3242]

The most beautiful version of gladiator played by piano I've ever heard..thank you.

[@rak88poker24]

"Everything we lose comes back to us in another form. A new day is the chance to fill your soul. Every day begins with some expectation, but every day ends with experience. Be grateful for the new day. The eternal love of beautiful music never dies. Now we are free ..."

[@fidykely]

I struggle so much with my life and this song makes me feel better and worse at the same time. I don't even know how to describe it. This song touches my soul

[@tylerburton267]

This rendition is brilliant and performed fantastic.👏👏

[@jim_ginge]

Jesus, every note, the strength of the key, the subtle volume changes, the balance, absolutely beautiful!!!

[@simonkaiser7837]

[@yogeshkorde504]

So correct !!👍

[@dickenstom]

It will never end

[@dpc4548]

April last year? I know other places have been crazy, but we had a month or two of panic and then just went back to normal.

[@irimis1889]

😂🤩❤️

[@EAZICOMPANY222]

Roger that

[@pufferfish8239]

Besides the fact that this is wonderfully played, can we take a second to appreciate, for one second, that this guy is bare foot?

[@duyquang1338]

[@poopoo09]

The best piano cover on entire youtube platform ❤❤❤❤ 2023

[@jaswaanthbhaskar4158]

Zimmer's music at its best 😍

[@Gumby56]

Right after listening to you, my wife runs to her piano. You motivate her! I on the other hand play the bagpipes, when I play she just runs away😁

[@darren898]

couldn't blame her tbh lol

[@oussamamkaabal580]

😂

[@noverrr4508]

Bagpipes are nice. They bring a nice atmosphere to the streets of Scotland whenever I travel up north.

[@stephen129]

Great arrangement, expertly played, on a lovely grand piano and recorded on high quality microphones. Can't ask for any more. One of my favourite piano covers on KZbin.

[@iEatRockz]

I know this video is a few years old, but I wanted to give you feedback. I'm 47, and my husband (of 15 years) is teaching me piano. Clearly his playing has struck a chord with me and I chose to learn. I wanted to thank you for posting your playing, of what I consider, fun songs. You're inspiring to me, and videos like yours inspired me, keep me practicing, and wanting to be able to call myself a pianist one day. So, thank you!

[@iice-maan]

woow best piano cover of Gladiator theme on internet.Bravo

[@barbarabrose1221]

One of my favorite pieces, and movies too... and played by you... what a gift! Thank you.... "I will see you again but... not yet... not... yet." beautiful!

[@Southwark-Wexham]

Songs like _Now we are free_ are beautiful and sad simultaneously. It got a melancholic touch. I cannot hear _Now we are free_ without having tears in my eyes. Thank you for playing it so greatly.

[@Nuad555]

Just you and your Wing, is enough no need an Orchestre, So smart and perfect is always a time I can come down on my self David if I hear you playing. Thank you for this gift.

[@David_Camerwrongun]

No matter how many times I hear it, I'm reduced to tears. David your piano rendition is by far the best anywhere online and by the end I'm smiling with a warm feeling, everything will be alright after this. Please don't ever stop playing!
