Bravo! I'm a multi-keyboardist with several Kurzweil keyboards, and can appreciate how much work you put into this project. Your arrangements, orchestrations, and performances, given the 2018 Kurzweil gear that you used, are terrific. Thank you for sharing this with the Kurzweil community.

[@marinatsokani30]

Thank you so much!!!

[@sharingmatters]

@jimhashner which gear do you play on?

[@jimkashner]

​@@sharingmatters- H/W: Kurzweil K2700, K2600XS (fully loaded ROMS/PRAM/RAM), and K2600RS (fully loaded ROMS/PRAM/RAM), and several MIDI-only controller keyboards; S/W: "WAAAYYY too many/much Virtual Instruments / VFx Plug-Ins / sound-ware. 😆, Pro Tools Ultimate HDX", Quite a lot of other various outboard gear. All-In-all, waaayyy too much fun! ☮❤

[@65marlin327]

I expected thunderous applause, even a standing ovation at the end of this performance. How completely entertaining this is! You two must have spent hundreds of hours putting this show together, only to have it last just barely over eleven minutes. Thank you for sharing this incredible, fabulous performance with the world! You certainly show why Kurzweil keyboards are the apex of their field. Bravo!!!

[@xDIGITONIUMx]

Perhaps it's from the "applaud" patch from the keyboards. :P

[@miekwavesoundlab]

8 hours rehearsal 8-12 hour practice and 5 days prep for experienced keyboardists

[@VoightComp]

I never thought the James Bond theme could ever be played properly without an electric guitar, but you proved me wrong, much to my delight.

[@alancummings5651]

Totally amazing. Just fantastic. I’m just blown away how good Kurzweil sound.

[@cristianolima5470]

Oh my God, how wonderful to hear this from Brazil, magnificent, they play a lot, beautiful sounds!

Fantastic! Standing ovation from the Netherlands for you two! And a big thanks to Kurzweil for making these amazing instruments.

[@antonioperillo1182]

It's evident that you're professionist and your skill of knowledge of this wonderful keyboard. One of the best interpretation of Pink Panther's theme....marvellous sound of sax!!!!!

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

Kurzweil forever!!!! Outstanding performance by these two!

[@eugenephillips481]

Beautiful musicianship!!! I always LOVED Kurzweil products. I now really miss my K2600X.

[@jemkeystv5717]

Great!! Got my first kurzweil in "89" , a k1000, been using them professionally ever since, time to move on from the PC3K6 to the PC4-7, it's all you need for a live gig!

[@joshbattaglia4574]

Really amazing that all of this is coming from those keyboards.. 😳 I just ordered the Kurzweil 2700 and now I can't wait to get it! lol

[@marinatsokani30]

You are very lucky!!! Thank you very much,enjoy k2700!!!

[@BRAPO]

I can't wait to receive my PC3K6, been wanting a Kurzweil since 1990

[@EliabSandoval]

Whou! Thank you for this wonderful music, surprised by the masterful way of playing the piano, it sounds beautiful. The sound of your video is super. Congratulations, a friend Eliab. Successes

[@marinatsokani30]

Thank you so much!!!

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

Great Job! Would love to own a PC4. Although I could never make it sound like this.....I only have two hands. Sheesh🎶😁🎶

[@astrophonix]

Great performance, engaging choice of pieces and very well played. It's wonderful to hear synthesizers emitting terrific chords and melodies as a change from the bleepy-bloopy stuff we normally get.

Some of the best instrument samples I've ever heard.

[@dynoroad]

This sounds pretty incredible tbh, caught me by surprise. The brass and woodwind sections sound super realistic.

[@marinatsokani30]

Thank you so much!!! The sound samples have been edited by George Tsokanis to create these sections. You can do whatever you want with these wonderful instruments!!!

N tem como se emocionar com essa música q e pra mim a melhor música do antigo filme q marcou época no cinema de vários anos atras q eu assisti na minha antiga tv de tudo dos anos 80 e pra mim as músicas de grandes sucessos do cinema de vários anos atrás ou seja da década de 30 até os anos 90 são muito melhores do q os filmes atuais n q eu n goste de filmes atuais eu até gosto dos filmes atuais mas eu n abro a mão de grandes clássicos do passado q pra mim marcou a minha infância adolescência e tbm a minha preadolescencia dos anos 80 e 90 q pra mim são muito melhores do q os dias atuais

[@PigiAkeys]

The best video that will make you want to buy a Kurzweil :) By the way, why "pc4 contest" if they use everything except a pc4?

[@marinatsokani30]

Thank you so much! It was a video contest from kurzweil about winning the upcoming model pc4.

[@PigiAkeys]

@@marinatsokani30 Uh I see, now it is clear.

[@daffyduck4195]

Amazing. All that sound just by using Kurzweil keyboards. I've been duped all this time thinking a big orchestra played when I watched the Bond film. All the songs sounded like the real thing except for "Lara's theme" from Dr.Zhivago that didn't quite sound like a full string orchestra.

This is a brilliant and beautiful creative work. It makes me want to know _who_ you are, where you came from and where you are going. I would love to know what you might create with your prize PC4. My PC3 looks nicer than my PC4, but the new PC4 weighs less than 30 lbs. And sounds wonderful. Please keep on creating! ❤

Impressionante onde podemos chegar com estes Teclados...... sempre fã...... Não me impressiono tanto com os outros "top's" do mercado atualmente como os Kurweill...... Desde sempre..... toda via sempre fã deles...... pena que no Brasil fomos esquecidos.... mas ainda reluto em permanecer com os meus Kurweill....... Não os troco por nenhum dos que estão no mercado.......

[@georgegeorgio1751]

@@marinatsokani30 Good but main brass sounds could have been better on earlier song in video , also I think it's time for Kurzweil to finally make some lower priced hardware and even exploit their unique synthesis by including their PC4 DX7 file reading capability in these lower priced items to some of us sample playback is not important, cause we already have modules , boards and DAW's that do that.

Yanni is a great keyboardist for sure, but there is another great multi instrumentalist also from Greece, he has his one way of playing that I have never seen in any other keyboardist. he is the legend Vangelis.
