In my opinion the beginning was necessary, I don't believe it was showing off, for it did not take away from the beauty of the overall piece, rather added some. I do believe if it were to have continued much further it would have had a negative effect, but he stopped at the perfect time. Pure genius!
Чудак не тупо играет как Queen, а сделал совершенно уникальную аранжировку. Получилось что фортепьяно звучит не хуже чем оригинал у квинов, а в некоторых местах, на мой взгляд, даже лучше.Что тут можно сказать - это достойно восхищения.
I believe what EVERYONE seems to forget is ...... this arrangement is the emotion that he felt . To say that it is wrong, is wrong in itself. It's just the same as if I said the only way to drink coffee is iced, and anyone who drinks it hot doesn't appreciate the flavor of a cold brew. Wonderful job Tal ... you own the ivories!!!
This is piano !!! This is how piano should be !!! This should have some billion clicks !!! No other cover can hold up to this one. And there quite a lot of them.
I actually wanted to stand up and applaud you at the end of that. You have a gift, thank you so much for posting this on youtube for all of us to see. Thank you.
When you have this much talent and you put this level of work into an arrangement, FLAUNT IT! I enjoyed every part of it. I see a lot of comments about you showing off. I guess these folks would find Liszt, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff pretentious. Keep up the good work.
Hello Tal, When I saw this I felt extremely jealous and inadequate because for 10 years I, and alot of others used to agree that I had the absolute BEST arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody but yours has effectively TOPPLED mine. You are really good at combining the technical aspects of Liszt, Chopin and creating a version that is really YOUR OWN. I love your interpretation of the 2nd last coda chord progressions. Kudos! You motivate me to improve my own version even more :P
He's playing like Freddie used to sing. Always coloring the melody notes, expressive crescendi, imitating orchestra and choir, accurate tempi and changes, on the other hand it comes free like improvisation.
This was absolutely amazing. Pure magic. You took the song to a level I bet Mr. Mercury himself could not have ever dreamed was possible. What made it so great for me were the moments when you took the song to the very simple style, exactly like the original. Those parts need to be simple, and you kept them that way. This shows your utmost respect to the work. You have a keen feeling of where the emotion of the song lies, and you did not touch those parts. And that is what made all of the rest so impressive and beautiful. Great style, great adaptation, and great respect for one of the greatest songs ever written. Thank you...
abudweiserguy with all due respect, this is the less respectful for the original-arrangement i’ve ever seen, some parts are really well turned into something pianistic, some others are just ridiculous show-off-and-put-the-melody-somewhere-between-the-fireworks crap
Had he transcribed a 'classical' piece like this many youtubists would be condemning him for doing something that the composer wasn't thinking of. Fortunately we are spared such ignorant nonsense on this page, and we can enjoy the combined genius of the composer and transcriber in peace. He's not proposing to replace the original, but he certainly added some beautiful nuances that are worth hearing.
I've lost track of how many times I've watched this. It's the only cover version of this song that I listen to. I wish I could play like that. Keep on playing, I'd love to hear more!!!
after 10 years nobody still can do better. Genius
Still true
I saw this video 1.000 of times. For me is the best version. Amazing.
The best version...I fully agree with you
*SO RESPECTABLE AFFIRMATION. Excellent interpretation. ""2020"" Applause AND MORE.*
Damn, this is how Liszt would had played this song if he were living now. Impressive! :O
Watched this several times over a year and it is a significantly well played piece. Tal is a big time piano player in my opinion.
So many hurt Queens fans... Excellent classical interpretation. Love it!
Piano is just like singing everyone has their own style. Personally I thought it was beautiful. Bravo!!!

Come on. Freddy was all about "showing off" -
A Music made by a genius, played by 4 geniuses and you covered it like a genius , i am proud to know that people like you still exist, Keep rocking!

I love how his hands so smoothly glide along the keys
One of the most original arrengements of this song that I've heard
By far, this is the best piano cover for Bohemian Rhapsody
Videos like this deserve way more views. It's hard to imagine how anyone can memorize all that, let alone play it.
He OWNED it! So amazingly talented! BRAVO!
I think this is fantastic! it never got boring! Very talented.

Wonderful job Tal ... you own the ivories!!!
Absolutely amazing! There are no words, this is just simply beautiful.
Incredible! It turns out to be a classical masterpiece!
That was awesome! I can't carry a note in a bucket... really appreciate a true artist and musician!
if I could play the piano like you I'd cry evri time I stop playing. there'd be so much emotion in it.
to replicate a masterpiece is skill, to create a masterpiece out of another is pure talent and genius. Bravissimo!
Tal is a great musician his music shines
I can watch this vid over and over. Never gets old. thanks for posting
This is piano !!!
This is how piano should be !!!
This should have some billion clicks !!!
No other cover can hold up to this one.
And there quite a lot of them.
I literally cried watching this.... It was that amazing.....
show off to the power infinity....
Queen songs don't need anything extra ...
This was so amazing, I can almost hear Freddie singing.
I actually wanted to stand up and applaud you at the end of that. You have a gift, thank you so much for posting this on youtube for all of us to see. Thank you.
That was possibly the best piece of music I've ever heard.
May even be the best thing I've ever heard.....

Absolutely fantastic. It looks like this dude could do it blind folded and backwards. True talent.
Very impressed!!!! Thank you!

Just beautiful! Your technique and your touch are great! Freddie would have been proud of you! It is such an emotional piece of music.
Thank you Dr. Zilber. I always listen to this rendition every time. I think it's the best.

Молодец!!! Просто супер!
I'm sorry is this Bohemian Rhapsody or fingerstyle showoff?
Gotta play it his style man. Exact sounds too common. I needed this improvisation. Amazing rendition.
I guess you’ve missed the part of “Piano Arrangement”?
“Show off”...... Ok.
Awesome!!! Amazing!!! Brilliant!!! Super!!! Great job mister Zilber... Congratulations from Brazil!!!
Watching him makes me think about what it must have been like to watch Franz Liszt play. Simply stunning.
Amazing cover. So beautiful.
