Thank you for your presentation and tribute to Ernesto Lecuona, one of our greatest Cuban musicians. I would love to see him share the stage with the most recognized exponent and close to Lecuona, Maestro Huberal Herrera. Thanks for your art !!! Bravo!!!. Lecuona is undoubtedly very happy about his presentation.

[@marklecuona8889]

Ernesto is my great Uncle. Thank you for playing Malaguena and playing it so well.

[@animaterandomly6442]

No way bro really?

[@marklecuona8889]

@@animaterandomly6442 Yes. It's true. We're out here, scattered around the globe. The Lecuona's have a big family but no sense of self as the loss of Cuba as the homeland has separated us from our roots. It is great to hear others enjoy what we all listened to as children.

[@animaterandomly6442]

@@marklecuona8889 oh okay well just wanted to let you know that Malagueña us by far my favorite Lecuona piece and my favorite piece to play on piano. His music truly was a treasure

It's composed by a Cuban. So nice to hear this great Cuban music so well performed by Joel especially when the Cuban people are taking to the streets for Freedom!

[@amedhorsalat3395]

Bravo! one of the best performance of this piece.

[@ramonawalter1442]

Beautiful !

[@yunielhhlaro8279]

The cuban music shining

[@johnhenthorne9506]

Nostalgia. Joel's tempo is close to being the same as my mothers. I loved to watch her fingers. Sometimes they would fly over the keys. At other times she would caress them.

[@joeldumont9528]

Also the same tempo as Lecuona

[@lisztspinky]

Fabulous! I really enjoyed your interpretation!

[@rjlecuona]

Wonderful performance! Full of character and verve!

After going for so long with only hearing the name of this gorgeous piece, finally getting to hear it played...it's amazing. I have to say... love Hispanic classical piano music now, and I want to hear more.

[@leandrodepaivacarneiro1647]

Great! Congratulations! Great performance! 👏👏👏👏👏🎶🎹🎵🎶🎹🎵🎶🎹🎵🎶

[@paulafeudo5504]

A beautifully executed version !!

[@elisemcclintick9719]

Did Mr. Hastings make a CD with Malaguena on it?

[@bkoksal]

May he rest in peace.

[@bangott1962]

I'm Cuban, as our inmortal Maestro Ernesto Leocuona Casado. I'm proud to see that Lecuona's music is being played by young talented pianists around the world. This performance of Malagueña by Joel Hastings is amazing. Thank you!

[@elisemcclintick9719]

The very best posted on KZbin. Thank you, thank you!

[@4Topwood]

No, Lecuona's version is much better. And not just because he composed it.

[@ChristianSaveAmerica]

That was very very nice. I think I would like to play this one. I am going to work on it.

[@karmatsering196]

I played this piece for my recital when I was about 12. Now, as a person of a certain age, I wonder how I did it. I don't think I can play it now. This young man played it so beautifully!

[@lindamcdermott2205]
