Kreskin meets Rosemary Brown, medium musician

[@igolfjtweetler4097]

So fascinating. I cannot doubt her sincerity

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Opinions are still divided on her abilities Pianists have for years, written music in the style of the greats-it’s an accepted pedagogical practice. And Liberace and Victor Borge have played popular songs in the style of their classical heroes So it could be she’s doing that!

[@MbartM96]

⁠the difference here is that she was just an ordinary uneducated person, she had only very basic training, and as a widow had to work full time to support her family. It doesn't seem credible that she this was simply a hoax.

13:37 when she started playing i just started crying, this is absolutely Chopin, i dont have any doubt

[@AmazingArends]

Judging from the ad for the Chevrolet Impala/Caprice at the end, I’d say this episode ran between 1973 and 1977.

[@louisegogel7973]

01:08 Card Trick demonstration. 08:56 Rosemary Brown. 13:37 Rosemary plays a piece Chopin dictated to her... a Polonaise. 17:18 Kreskin plays some piano as a prelude to a forty song random pick.

[@mgrainger3805]

Thanks

[@Petermaguire3684]

fascinating, after hearing the polonaise, it's hard to doubt the authenticity of her claim. You can see the technical skill isn't there but you can't copy the style that well especially without rudimentary training.

[@richardque4952]

Should turn into a movie

[@pascalminette4224]

She plays better than written in the books. Who can play can compose.

[@drnotation]

Reading the book "Unfinished Symphonies" and this give me the chills. What can you say listening to her... is this not Chopin?

[@herculesraphaelolimpio3569]

Terry Campbell I really believe so ! The style of his music is so unique that this could never be a lie ! Cheers God let us still listen more from the greatest souls! :)

[@marcgovaerts644]

to me, this is not Chopin : too simplified, uninspired, perhaps nice melodies but no musical inspiration, no "musical spirit" (no musical story, if you prefer) ; style-wise, huge problems (i.e. unchopinistical) with tonal transitions ; rather a mixture of a chopinistic style with the musical taste of early 20th century ; sorry to disappoint some !.. @@@herculesraphaelolimpio3569

[@antonioaranio3568]

@@marcgovaerts644 For arguments sake, and I’m not a true believer here, but if Chopin is somewhere else, still composing music, isn’t it probable that his style would have evolved over time?

[@FrostDirt]

@@antonioaranio3568 his style would've evolved to late Romantic a la Rachmaninoff and Scriabin or even late Liszt

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

That she can even play such a difficult piece by Chopin with complete mastery without training is miraculous.

[@JohnBolender]

It means that she did have training. She was probably a musical Elmyr de Hory, although it may be that she tricked herself into believing it was all real. Perhaps she felt less alone that way.

My favourite trick of his is when he shakes someone's hand and won't let go. "The power of suggestion!"

RIP, Kreskin (1935 - 2024)

[@DFermain]

It is quite simple extraordinary.

[@spv7040]

Finally can see the face of this wonderful lady ❤

[@clarissesilva3843]

Does anyone know where I can find the sheet music of the Polonaise that Miss Brown is playing? I've been searching desperately for it everywhere but I can't find it. It's such a beautiful piece and I really would like to play it, so if anyone has the score, please please share!

[@michaelnikulin326]

I do. I can share. Give me your email address and I will send it to you

[@pilhadenervos]

Amazing post, very glad to see this precious video on line. Anyone knows where I can find another Rosemary Brown video? It's so difficult to get. Greetings from Brasil!

I didn’t know Kreskin was a pianist, but one wonders what he would do if he had to play any composition on that list from memory!

[@thomasg321]

I myself am a medium. However I channel Sigmund Freud. He told me Rosemary was nuts.

He says "riffle" for "rifle." Interesting. He was from Montclair, New Jersey. Passed away this month.

[@msmoppett]

is there a faultless recording of the polonaise?

[@bhangrafan4480]

I'd forgotten about the 'Amazing Kreskin'. I read his book years ago. I never understood why someone with super developed senses had to wear milk-bottle bottom glasses. It seems he's got contact lenses here.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

When you have glasses you can use them to conceal, distract and exchange Can’t really go into any more depth but you get my drift

[@bhangrafan4480]

@@tombstoneharrystudios584 I never thought of that. I admit they distracted me!

[@Thombene77]

Many times you will see Kreskin take off his glasses, that's meant to distract and divert the attention of the audience.

[@fstover5208]

If any of you were serious classical musicians, you'd see through this fraud.

Говорят, что у неё нет музыкального образования, что она не знает нот, не умеет играть на пьяно, а музыку пишет шедеврально....и она говорит, что ноты диктуют ей с того света Бах, Шопен, Моцарт, которые она записывает механической записью, не зная что пишет!? СТАРО ПРЕДАНИЕ и верится с трудом!
