Nils Frahm | A Winged Victory for the Sullen | BBC Proms 2015 | Full performance

Mary Anne Hobbs of BBC Radio 6 Music presents an evening exploring the borderlands of classical music, with the pioneers of a new generation of musicians who draw on contemporary electronic influences. Piano and keyboard virtuoso Nils Frahm makes his Proms debut, as does atmospheric duo A Winged Victory for the Sullen, and together they create an exclusive centrepiece collaboration.

[@Tony17TM]

Today in Prague... Gotta love my job as Stagehands and be at his show for free... Just finished the sound check before the show and I have to say that this guy is a true music genius.... I am 22 years old guy who listens mainly to hip hop and I totally love this.....!

[@doxazo5512]

I'm listening to literally every version of "Says" that I can, because he does it differently every time, it's amazing

[@yanapiano]

If you love Nils Frahm's music please visit my KZbin. Creating/playing music is my true pleasure & if you have a few minutes I'll appreciate you listening to my music! I create my original as well as piano versions to genres like Contemporary/Electronic :) Thank you!!!

[@michaelurgelles937]

The KEXP version is the best one for me

[@jhmorrisproductions]

Absolutely beautiful. As a writer, I am always trying to do what Nils does so effortlessly. Bring passion, emotion, and pure feeling to the work you do. Nils provides an acoustic journey through several emotions that can only make you feel more alive; make you feel human. An absolutely awesome performance.

[@JasonM00n]

I was there, I thought I'd die, seriously, just in-fucking-credible music!

[@LudoMll]

Nils Frahm is a must-see live, he builds a friendly/warm atmosphere by talking to the audience, would love to see this guy play again.
