Jeffrey Biegel plays Sleigh Ride from A Steinway Christmas Album

[@JacobPAus]

The acoustics in there are incredible

[@biegel88]

State University of New York at Purchase. Wonderful venue!

[@clarencemendonca579]

Absolutely👍👍👍

[@nachiket481]

100% agree

[@HMCuber]

Yes

[@globalc3849]

This is fantastic on the highest level. I’m a pianist and this guy is 10/10 amazing.

I absolutely admire Jeffrey’s performance, expression, skills and the recording quality. Everything there is PERFECT. I’m so happy I now reached out to Jeffrey.

[@kyreeforest4868]

[@biegel88]

Likewise! And to play YOUR music gives me so much joy, and giving joy to others enjoying your writings!

[@HMCuber]

@@biegel88 I'm learning this song and your cover helps me learn this by sound too, amazing job!

[@gegervary]

The is THE most incredible piano solo interpretation I've ever heard! You sir are a virtuoso!

[@ArashMotamedi]

I want that piano... and those skills! :D

[@PianoNotion]

Practice the piano for eight hours a day for ten years and you may have those skills ;-)

[@DityaSangGita]

Earn one, and practise it

[@lesliechartier2136]

The greatest composers always hoped and prayed for someone like Jeff to play their compositions. I still think he’s one of the greatest ever.

[@pianosenzanima1]

He is indeed!!

[@lesliechartier2136]

And Jeff is a really humble and kind human being. I think he is a gift to all those who know him. @@pianosenzanima1

[@KieraFong]

This is truly amazing. His hands were lightning fast!

[@abcs1942]

Kiera Fong the vid is speed up lol

[@hannahg6405]

lol why would you think that? It's not, look at how the page falls naturally at 0:35-0:40

[@deafears4025]

His hands are indeed lightening fast but so is his brain to project all that through those hands. He is utterly incredible.

[@gegervary]

It's not even the speed but the precision and control that is absolutely incredible. This guy is clearly a virtuoso.

[@jasondavies3736]

Holy ornamentation batman!

[@LangKuoch]

His touch is incredible, his musicality is without a doubt a 10/10. Man, I’m so jealous (but mostly just in awe) of his skill!

[@biegel88]

Thank you, Andy, for a truly remarkable transcription--I love how you create a 3 and 4 hand effect--I think the entire orchestral score is at the fingertips here!

[@Jonathanballmusic]

Incredible playing!!

[@davidlai1996]

And I'm sitting here thinking "this is impossible." But it's true. Bravo!!!

[@RollingEasy]

Seriously....... God is in both those who build and create absolute magnificence... (as in the Steinway Piano)..... And in those who give the world such magnificent music.. Just as does Mr Biegel here. Not forgetting for one moment Mr Leroy Anderson, the writer. And I'm drunk yet I'm so very very happy. Oct 4 2020.

[@patriciabmich4401]

Andrew Gentile's arrangement of Sleigh Ride is the most beautiful I've ever heard, and Jeffrey, your performance is incredible! It's thrilling to see the smooth swift movement of your fingers up and down the keys, playing with such a light, sensitive touch. Pure joy!

[@deafears4025]

I listen to this very often, summer, winter, spring and fall.

[@lesliechartier2136]

I can't pretend to not be thrilled with this level of playing. Others can say they have heard it all before but as for me...I'm in awe. I am so grateful to all those who brought such wonderful art to our culture and culture to our art.

[@skunkface]

Terrific arrangement, beautiful piano music!

[@linuslaumusic]

Jeffrey, I own this album. The first time I heard it I could have sworn this was two pianists. Double hats-off to you for performing with a cameraman roving back and forth behind you!

[@scottfry9697]

I NEVER tire of this arrangement, or this album. It's my go to throughout the year and it always it such a pleasure to listen to.

[@minacciosa]

Last two Xmas seasons I've been trying to learn this arrangement. It's wonderful and tough! You nailed it.

[@AmtmannAusTirol]

where can I get the score?

[@Lynchmann]

one of my favorite piano arrangements EVER! I almost hate that it is Christmas music, as I get strange looks when I play this in July. :)

[@deepattison9329]

Do you really care about the strange looks from people who don't truly enjoy music whenever it is heard?

[@globalc3849]

Beyond words. Phenomenal playing and wonderful piano and recording quality. Bravo.

[@Lion_McLionhead]

The best video ever made of him.

[@MsPeperonata]

Bravo! I love the Gershwin-like touches such as the one at 1:33

[@HMCuber]

Three years later and I've decided to learn this finally. I started in December last year and I'm already half way!

[@HowardRichman]

Jeffrey, you are TREMENDOUS! I just bought the CD. Wow!

[@AdriánCarrioFernández]

As a professional piano player, I have to take off my hat. Great playing and very inspiring!

[@aaronslens]

One of the first performances I’ve heard that truly sounds as full as the orchestra version does.

[@GBlekas]

All I can say is WOW! I had to watch this twice as the fingers dancing on the keys was freaking me out! Then again your playing always did! Wishing you and you family a Happy & Healthy Holiday Season and New Years!

[@HMCuber]

Young man amazing job!

[@BobMazzo]

Simply beautiful, Jeffrey ! Your playing is mesmerizing - and this arrangement is mind-blowing! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us !

[@biegel88]

thank you!!

[@lyrianmusic]

@mumps59 So glad you enjoyed the arrangement. I' hope to get clearance to make the score available soon. Best wishes, Andrew Gentile

[@garyspianocovers6684]

Been trying to learn this. One of the more difficult pieces to play. This was amazing.

[@emersoneads]

Maestro! unbelievably enchanting! I couldn't stop watching it! Stunning!

[@biegel88]

Thank you so much, Emerson! I love the music of Leroy Anderson, and this arrangement by my friend, Andrew Gentile, is perhaps the best solo piano arrangement I've ever known.

[@contraposaune]

Jeffrey Biegel It's such a spectacular arrangement! (just got myself a copy) :D :D :D

[@davidmarcum9845]

Absolutely awesome version of this old classic. Bravo on the live performance too!

[@makeminemusic1]

Very, Very Well Done!! :) Excellent! Thank You for Posting! :)

[@charrycutie]

I absolutely love this!

[@kingbee48185]

some dazzling jazz and blues improvs, but this is one traditional song i prefer to hear in its original state with a good stride left hand and some fills and technique to make it sound full. Still perhaps the best 2 handed take on this song to date

[@TheFredismShow]

That was just amazing. Such a complicated arrangement.

[@TrumpetRecords]

Great !

[@kassandra-annedemers]

Such an insanely difficult piece. Excellent performance, you really brought this arrangement to life! I’m currently “attempting” to learn it. Might take years... lol

[@PianoNotion]

Incredible! Nice work.

[@JazzDioNy]

Increíble maestro lo admiro

[@MuseDuCafe]

What a hoot! Delightfully pianistic, kinda wonderfully 'overarranged.' Sounds more like one of those old piano rolls where the pianist overdubbed to get that fuller 'orchestration' in! Wonderful playing.

[@goldenratio7260]

Outstanding performance!

[@Zeldagamer1337]

I love it! I'm definitely going to nab that album for myself as my Christmas present!

If you would really want to "die" to play like this you would (eventually get to play like this) :(:(

[@sharongreer6336]

Hello Jeffrey...I stumbled upon your video of Sleigh Ride and so I ordered the disc, and although it isn't Christmas yet, I listen to it frequently. I am anxious to learn the rendition of Un Sospiro/In the Bleak Midwinter, but can not tack down the score anywhere. Carolyne Taylor has two books out of similar arrangements of things, but this one is not included. Can you advise me. Thanks, John

[@biegel88]

I think you might try through her publisher at Lillenas where the two books of Classical Carols are published.

[@wayne88keys42]

WOW.

[@DityaSangGita]

Does he improvise from the sheet music? It does'n appear as difficult and sophisticated as his playing. Wonderful and bravo btw
