[@CONCEPTDeveloppement]

Thanks a lot for your post. Where is it possible to find the sheets of Nils Frahm's songs you play ?

[@coversart]

@@CONCEPTDeveloppement You can find all the sheets (or most of them) at Annemie Van Riel website - www.annemievanriel.be cheers!

[@moonface9869]

Outstanding covers, if you’re sat contemplating whether or not you have delivered excellency to the KZbin community, question no more, you have. We appreciate you for this.

[@bernios3446]

Someone with the courage to play the pieces with a personal twist, in his own style, not just copy... I like that. "Ambre" is even more lyrical than in the original.

[@malikb4332]

Virtuose! Bravo

[@thiagopuchacello1889]

Re is so beautiful!

[@natdom13]

Your version of Said and Done is unbelievably good.

[@coversart]

Thanks!

[@alejandrarojas3364]

Your Nils Has a New Piano is out of this world. Thanks.

[@newsungsails3651]

One of my new favorite piano videos. The best covers of Frahm I've ever heard. Would love to see more videos one day!

[@coversart]

Thanks, Christopher!

[@galaisduvall4620]

There is nothing off about this. It is as it should be: a musician performing the music they love and imbuing within it a sense of identity. The out of tune piano furnishes the art, the speed suggests an individual understanding, and your voice comes through in the subtle idiosyncrasies of the performance. Thank you for the performance, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

[@coversart]

Thank you!

[@thewouldyouratherguy]

This is great. I used to listen to Chilly Gonzales at night who i admire as my favorite pianist. The calm and pleasantness i felt when listening to him is also in this performance(s). Nice job.

[@coversart]

I love Gonzales! He is one of my favorite pianists as well

[@apexnine]

I have been listening to Frahm nearly every day for the last year. This work you've done is gorgeous. Great job.

[@SuperMilton999]

Obrigado por este lindo trabalho, especialmente por Nils Has a New piano. uma das minhas músicas favoritas :)

[@coversart]

[@SilvioRodriguezCarrillo]

Una belleza total. Hay una suave reverberación, e incluso el golpeteo de las teclas termina por darle una calidez familiar a la grabación. ¡Genial!

[@PavelMy]

Familiar here sounds different than in the album..but as soon as it was heard now, broke through the tears..

[@emanuelgermangomez2357]

Excelente, se siente de terciopelo por dentro esto. Gracias, un placer. Awesome. It´s like velvet inside myself. Thank you, it´s a real pleasure listening to this.

belleza musical excelente suavidad reflexiva y constante vibracion ritmica melodica de expresion sentimiento pensamientos interior fusion sonidos y alma clasica tiempo espacio melodico y ritmico. Tocando el piano libre secreto del corazon del piano y talento del pianista escucha y atencion reflejo del alma creativa musical. Excelente y original. Bendicion paz y bien

[@chrisrichards7063]

Super impressive that you can do Hammers as fast as you can! I almost like it a bit slower, though, but I guess it's one of those performance pieces that is sort of designed to be done fast. If there's one piece you didn't do that I wish you had, Ode is probably my favourite of his tracks for solo piano.

[@coversart]

Thanks, Chris! Do you have sheet music for Ode? if so please share it)

[@coversart]

Btw, Ode is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWe3o6Glrpxme5I and kzbin.info/www/bejne/opjNoWOOi6h_e7c

[@rodparisst]

Exciting!

[@R---66---R]

B E A U T I F U L ! Especially 'your' slightly 'out of tune' tuned pianosound (the freedom of the performing artist)...it's 'this' sound that gives it 'your' swing of things.........brave!

[@___yoursunrise]

You should really proud of this work you done. I have tears on eyes listening to this stories.. upd. By the way, do you tune your instrument by yourself? upd2. Probably the tears are because I understand that the group of people who really could try to understand the beauty of the real instruments is very small.. Wow.. to learn big pieces or to sightread well just open the world of freedom. But we don’t see the work and time behind the scenes🙏🏻

[@rodzeroher]

BTW I liked a lot the sound and recording, also nice take on your hands.

[@MiLaKreativ]

Beautiful! Many thanks!

[@ubicular]

i liked how you made it yours at the end of Said and Done.

[@segan25]

familiar was so touching omg

[@margaretfarquhar9567]

When I need to escape my mind waves I turn to music all types of music and Nils is one musician who allows one to be free to intrepret ??????

[@OliverBerresford]

Can I ask what the Mics used were, I am looking at new options. Enjoyed the music and the way its filmed, nicely put together. Thanks Ollie.

[@curly_]

Hi Oliver check out Pairs of Austrian Audio OC818 or cheaper OC18, AKG414. a pair of Neumann184, Gefell 930, DPA 2006. Those Mics are all Great not cheap but realy great. for a nice recording i would recomend 2 Mics for AB or ORTF or if you wann make it realy special and nice in MS . Have fun and good Luck

[@OliverBerresford]

@@curly_ thanks for the tips.👍

[@a0800]

Juuuuuurrr, madre del amor hermoso ¿hay una invasión de ángeles en esta Tierra? Thanks a lot. friend. This is a real present: a tresuare.

[@HamzehQanavatian]

it can be cover Westworld sound tracks too. 🙂

[@felicitelordon9673]

mmm nice :)

[@blouetrobin]

Hello, First of all congratulations for your videos of very good quality! What microphones, sound card and mixing have you use to perform the reps of nils frahm, the sound is very warm and soft;) A very big thank you for your help musically Robin

[@coversart]

Thank you! Pair of studio projects b1 mics were used. Inteface/pres - Focusrite, and a bit of Lexicon reverb.

[@blouetrobin]

A huge thank you for your answer !!! Your videos are tops !!! I hope someday you will play my music;)...

[@mereditheyusten7732]

how did you learn these songs? did you use youtube? sheet music? if you used sheet music, where can I find it? I love all of these songs, and it would be nice to know how to play them:) please reply, I'm so anxious to know!!

[@coversart]

Got all the sheets (or most of them) from Annemie Van Riel website - www.annemievanriel.be

[@mereditheyusten7732]

coversart visited the site, but i can't seem to find someplace I can search or find SHEET music. how did you do it?

[@coversart]

www.annemievanriel.be/site/ThingsToKnow.html who knows, maybe here?)

[@aaronkennedy5387]

Incredibly enjoyable to watch you play! Just as a matter of interest, where did you source the sheet music for many of these pieces?

[@coversart]

Thank you, Aaron. You can find all the sheet music here: www.annemievanriel.be/site/ThingsToKnow.html Cheers!

[@aaronkennedy5387]

You the best

[@nana929]

[@21guitarworld]

the part at 13:30 gets to me

[@PavelMy]

fantastic, I read your comment when it was playing in this place)

[@MrGolphil]

🤙🤘;)

[@quack638]

Where is the sheet music for Tristana?

[@coversart]

It's a good question, Lucy!

[@rybkahalibut3466]

What's name of this wonderful upright piano?

[@coversart]

Brinkmann, a dutch brand, most probably it was made somewhere in the 70's

[@lisab.4131]

Where did you get the piano sheets? I would love to play them as well :)

[@AlexanderPochertPiano]

You can get sheets 1 and 2 from this website: www.nilsfrahm-sheets.com/ But both together cost ‎£ 120, one is for ‎£ 60...

[@lisab.4131]

That's expensiv. Wow. Thank you for the link :)

[@AlexanderPochertPiano]

You're welcome =) Ich habe dir mal eben eine private Nachricht geschickt, kannst du die lesen oder kann ich dich anderweitig kontaktieren?

[@AnnemieVanRielPiano]

I have a link to the sheets on my channel, search for playlist 'Nils Frahm'

[@nidridzy]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@freddiebolger3618]

you're very accomplished. i love the works of Nils Frahm . Its hard for me to watch his work be played at the speed you feel is right for you. It lacks care and feeling. You are very good at reading and playing music though. I guess its just care and emotion thats lacking, something Nil's music is made of .

[@coversart]

I understand your feelings!) But it's a very subjective thing - taste. Emotions and feelings also do not refer to mathematical dimensions. Nevertheless, the only thing I can say is that personally I do not see any sense in making records that are as similar as the originals. (Although at the moment of recording, I did not even heard the originals of the majority of the pieces) Basically I like diversity and freedom. Especially in art. Cheers!

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

Coversart couldn’t agree more, I love your channel and absolutely adore that steinway model 0 right?

[@OliverBerresford]

@@coversart Your interpretations are great if I wanted to listen to just the original then I would, everyone has a slight different take. Great playing.

[@douglasmccannpiano]

past is present pavel k... please record

[@spwim]

in ambre you're missing the filt on that high note bro ;) haha guess you don't have neighbours to cope with huh other than that, this is amazing music!

[@pierluigisalsano172]

Nils stop please forum piano grazie!

[@merijnheijmerink9147]

it's nice but you play some pieces waayy to quick. nils has a new piano for example, that piece is meant to be like very mesmirizing. The speed stands a little in the way of that. besides that, very nice

[@coversart]

Agree! (I have the same feeling. But, to be honest I didn't listen to all the originals, so it was kinda, let's say, that exact moment of the subjective interpretation. Just found the music sheets - recorded and then posted)

[@merijnheijmerink9147]

coversart yeah! at least you gave it your own twist! I am learning a few pieces of your compilation now too! beatiful pieces they are

[@steliosdimitriadis]

Nice playing but why is this piano not tuned?

[@Lecumusic]

I find it adds to the honesty of the pieces..

[@eschelar]

lol, I thought it was just me.

[@steliosdimitriadis]

eschelar No, there are plenty of us scattered among other ordinary reasonable people! There's a medical treatment suitable, psychological​ help.

[@coversart]

Thanks Stelios! Most probably because I love it just the way it is)

[@eschelar]

It's probably worth mentioning that I also enjoyed the hell out of the music... I noticed that it was out of tune (or that I thought it was), but I didn't found it detracted from my enjoyment of it.

[@vasileiosfilis9284]

!

[@user-cl2yw9je9d]

:D

[@beekay1081]

the better micheal nymann!! wow

[@navi8123]

Hammers was rushed through too quickly,

[@rodzeroher]

Nice interpretation but I have to say it needs a bit more work. In familiar for example it clearly need legato in the left hand and more enphasis on dynamics.

[@benjaminenders8762]

Just speed and technique is not art. At some parts, i feel you get lost in "i can play it so damn fast", there is a reason why Glen Gould interpretations are more interesting than Martha Argerich's !

[@coversart]

No I didn't. Just played as I felt in that particular moment. I might play those pieces today totally different (or maybe not) PS. They both are fantastic. But my personal choice would be: Rachmaninov, Horowitz, Richter, Gilels, Pletnev, Volodos, Grubert and maybe Sokolov.

[@arlettehellemans2117]

Poor minimalism!

[@milleniusz]

great techniqe, lack of soul.

[@cagno1]

Awful dull tone.

[@DominikKaliszewski25]

You play to fast in many moments, and all mood ;s gone :(

[@coversart]

Sure! But you can play at your own tempo to create the mood that you want to achieve in these pieces.

[@soldlakemusic3446]

Piano playing is not a race man, you don't need to play like a damn alien to impress people. For me, more than half the songs are too quick and this makes it a lot less enjoyable than Nils. You play like a robot, you should change that.

[@coversart]

My favorite type of comments!) Thank you for your recommendation, dear Soldlake Music, but I'd like to decide just by myself how to play and what I should change in my interpretations. Btw, I like your Radiohead cover, sounds exactly the same as original. Exactly the same, man. How did you managed to cover (one of my favorite band) so precisely! and beautifully the same time? I'm really impressed. Man.

[@soldlakemusic3446]

I realise now my comment was kind of rough. It was not intended like that.

[@coversart]

No offense, and no surprises:) Let's remember that this world is already fucked up enough. No reason to make it harder.

[@MG-re4lw]

Holy shit! What a tasteful response to an unnecessarily critical comment. I found this almost as impressive as your playing. Thank you.

[@a54635]

Clear downvote from me. mechanical, pseudo-soulful interpretations of songs that are ALL about feelings

[@coversart]

Clear downvote from me too) So mechanical or just pseudo-soulful? But I'm agree with you. It's all about feelings. But we all have different. ps. I am super lucky, and I don't really care about critics. But there are plenty people around us who do give a shit about such things. I think your post was really offensive at some point.
