playing NIRVANA - Rape Me/On A Plain at philharmonic 💥 (piano cover)

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Dear people, I am on tour: Visit www.shaolin-piano.com for more details ... cu there! Christoph

[@evanliu4106]

You are my favourite piano player in the world. Please come to Vancouver Canada. I don’t understand why you are not famous.

[@LaureanoMuller]

when played on piano like this it really shows how good kurt cobain was of a melody/harmony writer. Amazing arrangement and performance!

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

That was exactly my thought, when I started playing along to the nevermind album. It is even deeper than most people realize. Thank you for your comment! Much appreciated.

[@paulloper3940]

My thoughts exactly!

[@afeed581]

@@SHAOLINPIANO 'Rape me' was actually not from 'Nevermind'. It's from his last album 'In Utero'.

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

@@afeed581 Indeed. You are right. I started with 'Nevermind' first and 'Rape Me' had to be included later, because the song is just so unbelieveably strong.

[@afeed581]

@@SHAOLINPIANO Understandable 😊🙌

[@helengvozdovskaya5385]

Kurt's melodies are really melodious and sweet but they have a bitter taste of tragedy and mystery, too. They also have a lot of air as if fresh spring wind is blowing and lets you breeth easily.

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Nice words, Helen. That describes pretty much, what I discovered too. Well put.

[@ryanjackson5245]

Hearing that chord progression on piano was such an experience

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

I feel you! It started as a fun project for me and then it sucked me in because of that very reason ;-) Glad that you can enjoy it as much as I do!

[@megannbee_]

Wow. Kurt was a melodic genius. This was beautiful on piano! So much passion and energy, I loved it.

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Thanks a lot Meg. Yes. The melodic depth is astounding. I agree!

[@denverjamesmusic]

I don’t understand why this doesn’t have more views. Outstanding. Amazing. Thank you!!

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Thank you, Denni ! Means a lot 🙏🏻🎹

[@Lukavichiano]

Likely due to low KZbin SEO rankings.

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

@@Lukavichiano The channel is growing slowly but permanently since I started uploading new stuff and I am really amazed what nice kind of people are gathering more and more in the comment section. 🙏🏻🤍

[@julianbarbosa6415]

I wonder if most people could recognize the song by just hearing it

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Interesting question. Have you tried it ?

[@tassoskard8157]

1000 km away :) yes!

[@julianbarbosa6415]

I honestly don't know what I meant when I comment this

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

@@julianbarbosa6415 Hahaha I guess if people would recognize the song without knowing what they are listening to, right? ;-)

A masterpiece of two masterpieces. Brilliant!

Thanks Brian! Means a lot to me. 🙏🏻😊

This is amazing man. Nicely done! The melancholy sound of his melodies come across so strong on the piano. Beautiful arrangement.

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Thanks Michael. Makes my day! 🙂

You played very well, these are my favorite songs! Greetings from Turkey!

Thanks Emre. Means a lot!

Fantastic performance. Excellent sound engineer. Pleasure to listen to. Keep them coming please. Liked and subscribed

Yeah. Freu mich auch, dass es hoffentlich wieder weiter geht! 🙂

[@tassoskard8157]

KZbin algorithm made its magic. The “on a plane” arrangement is the best I’ve heard! Thank you!

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Thank you, Tassos! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♂️

[@tassoskard8157]

@@SHAOLINPIANO Also the hall that it takes place is the most beautiful I’ve seen. It must be an amazing feeling to perform there!

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

@@tassoskard8157 Indeed. The place is amazing, the sound architecture very demanding though, because they used a special sound reflection ceiling that works both ways (obviously). Not a problem for orchestras but sitting in the center of a huge "acoustic lense" on your own is something different ;-) wrote a little article about that on Facebook. Still. Amazing feeling. Yes! Miss those times.

[@mike4619]

What a beautiful interpretation. Bravo

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

I feel honoured. Thank you very much!

Amazing

Woow amazing

Thank you very much, Noe.

[@orca_noob896]

Rape Me's bridge sounds so cool on piano, like a villain's theme or something. Nice job with that.

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Yeah. It is my favourite part, too. Thanks for your message.

[@adww3242]

Rape me is one of my favorites it has the soft and heavy sound the low a d high pitches and the message that it has is beautiful. What i am trying to say is rape me might be one of the best songs on earth

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Yeah, I feel you 😊

[@AnastasiaLori]

Kurt would love this

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

I hope so, too 🙂 Thanks!

[@jab8823]

would've loved to hear this before listening to nirvana, would be interesting to know if my taste in the music is more the genre and rock/grunge feel to it, or the actually melody writing and harmonies.

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Yes. Interesting point indeed. I guess we'll never know for sure. If it's the melodies and harmonies that I used/rearranged, perhaps you'll like my original compositions as well, that I am working on at the moment... ;-) Take care!

[@views-lz9ww]

Great work, but on a plain is on Nevermind not in utero

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Thank you very much :-) very much true ;-)

[@anikasenst666]

♡

[@dukkha5181]

3:09 on a plain wasn't on the in utero album, it was on nevermind, but still sweet playing

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Thanks a lot. And yes you are completely right. 🙂

[@karstenp7339]

Ein ganzes Konzert mit Nirvana-Songs am Klavier? Hätte ich das damals mitbekommen, dann hätte ich mich auf den Weg nach HH gemacht. Coole Arrangements, Christoph.

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Vielen Dank! :-) Dann schnell den Kanal abonnieren, um nicht die nächsten Solopiano-Konzerte zu verpassen. Ich werde dieses Programm noch gelegentlich spielen ;-)

[@donnelleraeburn9207]

The name of the song is what everyone wants black window to do

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Hey Donnelle :-) What do you mean? I don't get it 😀

[@judepeppers1206]

It's weird, Rape Me has a really poppy feel to it especially during the key change (the parts where he says rape me) when played on piano.

On a plane - Nevermind song, not In Utero

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

Yes. Indeed. You are correct, Sir. Very good attention to detail ;-) Thanks!

[@Twincities-b4m]

3:10 on a plain in Utero, wtf?!

[@SHAOLINPIANO]

I guess you mean, that the song "on a plain" is actually on the album "nevermind" and you are correct. The video editor will never sleep the same after that mistake ;-) Shall we forgive him?
