This guys technique is wonderfully relaxed and completely unconventional. It's as if his hands are actually enjoying themselves as he plays. A really cool pianist.
Here is something that is going to blow your mind: most of what he plays is IMPROVISED ON THE SPOT. I highly doubt he wrote all of this out. Most people who play like this know their instrument so well, they don't need sheet music to tell them what to play.
What this gentleman is playing is rapidly fading away. Like a lot of other things that are disappearing, this beautiful art form is too. Only a few can do this as it was intended to be played and this gent can do it. Enjoy while you can and let your heart be happy!
If you ever get to Sacramento Ca, go to our annual Ragtime festival, and you will hear this wonderful kind of music, played by the best!!! Also Sutter Creek, Ca, has a Ragtime meet every weekend during the summer mos.
Glad to to hear that. I'm stuck in one spot for health reasons but it's reassuring to know that others are thoughtful enough to preserve this wonderful music, thanks for sharing.
I have an old 1875 model Story & Clark Saloon style piano, built with a snare drum and cymbal, in the lower case, it also has a banjo attachment, different damper bars, and double bass strings. I had it restored about three years ago, and it took me a year to learn how to play it. there are 4 pedals in the middle bottom, far left pedal works the drum far right works the cymbal the others are sustain and dampers. a lever actuates the Banjo attachment, it will keep ya busy playing it. There were fifty made, according to a S & C historian, and only 3 left, mine and 2 others which don't play. I used to have a YT page, but, I took it down because of the nasty comments left by haters who didn't know that the Piano actually existed in reality, and was not just thrown together by me. you have a happy life. I know that I do. @@olddoggeleventy2718
Tengo esa música en versión piano, pero en Disco Binil así que no la podría escuchar de la manera clásica, gracias por permitirme conocerla en UA-cam ¡me encantó! Y toca demasiado bien el piano ¡Felicitaciones!. El disco se llama GIGI and Music Man- Jacques Darieux and his Orchesta. :)
Hi Gary! My name is Tony and I am doing som genealogy reserach for one of my co-workers here in Sweden and if my reserach is correct she is your fourth cousins once removed. Not that close of a relative perhaps but still. Great playing by the way :)

8 Mai '23. It's amazing the way Landgren is playing!!!
Very amazing!!!!!
If i could just play like him, i would break my piano at home... Lol 😁
WONDERFUL!!
Amazing, his fingers never leave his hands!!! NH
I think if your fingers leave your hand, or your keys leave your piano... Then you’re in some deep shit.

Amazing playing! Hats off to you!
This is some real special, amazing stuff you're playing! I'm so glad I found this video!
I can't really add anymore than whats already been said on this page. I love it!!
Greetings from the UK.
Great pianist!
Here is something that is going to blow your mind: most of what he plays is IMPROVISED ON THE SPOT. I highly doubt he wrote all of this out. Most people who play like this know their instrument so well, they don't need sheet music to tell them what to play.
But those are based on songs at least, right? I'd really want to know some notes because what he is playing is amazing!
I wish he would upload some more of his stuff. He is very talented.
Great musician. Wonderful character - something of the Stan Laurel about him. Thank you for posting.
This is absolutely magical!!! I hope there will be more videos like this in the near future. Thank you for sharing!!!
Perfect perfect perfect thank you mate

WTF! What kind of animal (in a good way) is this that can virtually disable a piano with this out of this world playing?
