Rare Liberace - Waltz of the Flowers

Simply wonderful.

[@johnferguson4089]

I used to race home from college every Friday afternoon to watch this genius on television. I'm now 78 and I'm still blown away by his artistry.

[@eliogarcia3963]

What years was his show?

[@johnferguson4089]

@@eliogarcia3963 - when I saw his TV show, it was late 1950's because I was in secondary college at the time and as I've been a working concert performer for most of my life, I learned a lot from watching how he presented himself in his shows plus one or two mannerisms which worked for me later on TV as well.

[@Imzack1]

From your photo you look great for 78

[@johnferguson4089]

@@Imzack1 - Thank you for the complement. I've had a life in professional music, largely aided and by the enthusiasm and showmanship of Liberace. He was my musical mentor in my younger days and I'm now fast approaching a young 80. 😄

[@bunyip42]

He never looks like he's actually trying - beauty just flows, from his hands, from other musicians, from the dancers...

[@Franz_Liszt_Korean]

Agree

[@briseboy]

Teachers constantly scream not to look at keyboard ( how could one sightread?)

[@haydeevillarreal1607]

Liberace Mr. Showmanship from Las Vegas. ❤

[@Onry1]

He's not even looking at the keys, he's watching the dancer! Beyond genius...

[@Franz_Liszt_Korean]

Right. Great

[@MrCigarro50]

Liberace will never die, he will live in our hearts forever.

[@Franz_Liszt_Korean]

Right. Forever

[@johnferguson4089]

I agree!

[@luckylock4191]

They interviewed the people who lived with him in his house (maids, friends, etc..) apparently, the man never practiced. Went directly to the shows and started playing. Now thats incredible

[@steinwaygrande9736]

What is so amazing about Liberace, you never see a piece of music in front of him. What an incredible memory he had to be able to play so many 100s of pieces of music without any musical score in front of him make him one of the greatest pianists ever .

[@lorivattes5475]

I know and whatever the audience asked him to play, he obliged. No sheet music at all, awesome man!

[@lorivattes5475]

Maybe he was predestined to do this. He was born with a caul over his head.

[@garthfairfield8357]

Last true pianist

[@olivelane7903]

I agree with u all let us all pray we get rid of wicked virus soon his music. And my best friend and my daughter are keeping me going I am in do much pain

5:53pm. Magistral, genial. Liberace,único como Pianísta de excepcional talento musical y humano. Nunca habrá otro , como él. Ha hecho escuela en mí. Honor a su memoria,y mi gratitud, para él, por siempre, amén.

[@edwarddejong8025]

These 50's performances are wonderful. They are so innocent and respectful of the source material. A very diligent fellow who sought to entertain people, but always bring good music forward. It would be hard to do this same type of thing today; so little interest in instrumental music except in europe for jazz. We have straight up symphony hall recitals of great pianists. I think YoYoMa is the closest we have to liberace today in terms of a wide range of music styles brought forward in collaborations with a variety of people.

[@padami7835]

This type of performance are so rare in ourdays, and this type of star have faded away

[@frankfiello7904]

Didn't know it at the time but this man began my interest and appreciation in classical music that is still strong at 80 years old.

[@patbyrne3076]

Love Liberace. Beautiful talent.

[@andrewmiller4885]

This dear man made so many people just so happy watching him play that piano with such ease, he didn't even look at the keys a lot of the time , what a master musician who played such beautiful music. A wonderful talented and humble truly fine gentleman .

[@GeraldWilhelmBradenComposer]

How I miss these years of listening to Liberace play. His playing was always elegant, and beautiful. He also had the most wonderful technique, coupled with very strong arm and finger strength, and very good posture. besides being very talented, he was also taught well...Peace!

[@adrem1067]

His dexterity is mesmerizing.

[@barryjacobs8524]

Liberace one word that brings happy memories of a brilliant pianist and a charming man.

[@numannut6714]

Tchaikovsky and Liberace. Music does not get any better than this!

[@BytomGirl]

Absolutely beautiful.. some old world charm in this crazy world. He was one of a kind.

[@designinternational4488]

Magnificent!!! Enthralling!!! Thank you Mr. Liberace!!!

[@dominiquesaint-clair4804]

BytomGirl YES !

[@paradisefilms3355]

At a bar in Boca Raton that I went to on occasion, probably about 1986, I expressed my admiration for Liberace's talent. A guy at the bar wanted to beat me up!

[@johnferguson8993]

Magnificent! There will never be another like him.

[@peggybagley8031]

You damn right

[@francethibodeau3417]

He was magique to ear wen he play never we gone a see a man bring the music and the piano so wonderful I remember him wen I was young is was spectacular.,🌹

[@yaserthe1]

Yes, no one as creepy as him

[@hexkwondo]

@@yaserthe1 I can think of plenty of people that fit the bill of creepy a whole lot better than Liberachi. Just look through Twitter and tik tok.

[@Jules-1770]

Lovely to see Liberace enjoying himself. When the dancer came on, his face lit up because I think sometimes that musicians enjoy seeing the physical manifestation of the music. Although it is heavily edited, it is a wonderful piece of film and the dancer makes the best of the limited space that television, in those days, had available.

[@peggybagley8031]

He has a very unique talent no one has never came close to his performance on the piano beautiful personality one of a kind rest in peace Liberace

[@LorenIpsum75]

My introduction to classical music were Carl Stalling & Liberace!😀

[@jameseaton9746]

Simply elegant 😀😀😀😀

[@luizmiranda1950]

Do not worry, it's just another work of two perfections, Tchaikowski and Liberace.

[@johnnyjames7139]

Liberace and Spike Jones inspired my interest in classical music with there 1950's TV shows.

[@ewenmchardy5157]

Incredible talent, he was a master and appreciated by so many people, very rare to hear expert skills like this today

[@SNX03]

Such a peaceful piece :)

[@pamelagonzalvez5801]

Me encanta como admira a los otros artistas, muy humilde y gentil de su parte, no es como otros.

[@marysmith27]

Liberace was a prodigy and a virtuoso and a very fine musician.Anyone who says otherwise knows nothing about piano playing nor music.What talent and enjoyment he brought in his music. What a difference with today's mediocre "talent" of so many so- called "artists". There is no comparison of today's crap with this man.

[@Glitter_Bear]

Mary Smith that’s the thing with art. It’s subjective.

[@lorivattes5475]

Some other nasty person also said of him on another youtube video, "another pedophile" and whoever said it obviously doesn't know the meaning of the word.
