Most Wholesome Piano Video...

Likely the most wholesome piano video you will see today.
This is the legendary pianist Nigel Coxe! He performed this song for me upon my request. At the time, Nigel is over 90 years old while playing this wonderful piano transcription. I was so pleased to see Nigel uploading here on KZbin! Unfortunately, he has not uploaded in some months and I am hopeful this is not related to his health.
Go look through the incredible recordings on Nigel's own channel!

I am very sorry to report that Nigel passed away last month at age 92. I will miss him greatly.

@@SuperMikeC65 God rest his soul. I’m so sad to hear this. His recordings of Percy Grainger’s music are very special to me. After hearing his recording of “Love Walked In” and finding he was still active on KZbin, I was desperate to get him to record it again. I will treasure the short time I got to speak with him, his recordings, and this video he made upon my request not long ago. Thank you for relaying that information. I’m sorry for your loss.

I studied piano with Professor Nigel Coxe at the University of Massachusetts Amherst from 1983 through 1991. He is an awesome pianist and a great teacher. He's 92 now and still plays way better than I do.

Thank you so much for sharing. I have been unable to contact him in recent weeks and I pray his health is good. His piano albums are completely overlooked gems 💎. Thank you for your comment!

Thanks to Nigel Coxe's wonderful recording of the "George Gershwin's Song Book" (a.k.a. "Gershwin at the Keyboard"), I felt compelled to buy the sheet music and learn it all! That was in the early 90s. So happy to see this video of Mr. Coxe playing Gershwin here!

So pleased you enjoyed! Nigel first caught my attention with his Percy Grainger renditions at the piano (not to mention his Grainger album has some eye-catching artwork on the front). Later came my obsession with his Gershwin album. Quite an overlooked pianist. In my opinion, one of my favorite living pianists. This transcription might be my favorite piece to play. Thank you for sharing your story! 🙏
