Sorry there is some distortion with the sound of the piano
Really enjoyed his piano playing these two pcs.were beautiful
So interesting and incredibly beautiful!❤
Candy for my ears. Thank you Alan and Ludger.
Alan, thanks ----wonderful--------------and Ludger too!!
Thoroughly enjoyable and truly a great pianist. My thanks to you both. This is one of my favourite renditions by Angelina
I agree
Angelina, Chopin, and Ludger. Can't get much better than that trio. Alan is quite articulate. Thank you for the video.
What an amazing talent Ludger shared with us. Like Angelina he feels the music rather than just plays.
it is always a great feeling when a talented artist takes a song and makes it his own, by music or voice ! Thank you Alan for your work !
Music is magic to me and I am so grateful to those who can reaffirm that. I greatly enjoyed this video. Well done Ludger.
This man is a genius in his own right
I can’t wait for you to have a concert in New England area I can’t wait I love it you make me so happy
Very interesting how music works on our minds 👍🎼
Thank you Ludger & Alan, that was very interesting with a very skilled pianist. Absolutely beautiful! I think Angelina only needs a piano or guitar that follows her with a simple backing while she dances around with her orchestral voice.
Just beautiful Alan. Listening to Ludger play the only thought that kept going through my mind was to have his piano track together with Angelina's mesmerizing voice, would be a wonderful mashup of two incredible artists. Just a visual I picture in my head. Thank you for bringing Ludger back to the channel......a real treat.
Angelina's version of this song is one of the few times Angelina has really shocked me. She first slowed it down, as she often does, and then took what I'd always assumed was an feel-good upbeat song and revealed the heart wrenching melancholy the lyrics are actually expressing. An absolute masterpiece - again! Even though she didn't really know the lyrics. 😎
Yes, piano can, better than most instruments, elicit melancholy.
😎💙👍
I grew up with this song, have always loved it, but Angelina's rendition hits the heart with so much feeling. Having grown up in a classical music family, I truly appreciate what Ludger is able to elucidate from Angelina's performance.
Thank you, Alan, for a fine introspection.
As usual you bring a fresh listen to every Angelina performance. Piano is my favorite instrument and Rhapsody In Blue is my favorite song. Listening to the different stylings is wonderful.
I lived in Unalakleet on the Bearing sea across from Nome Alaska the first time I heard this song. Late one winter night when the radio could pick up a signal from Anchorage. Some songs and a few performers stand out in your mind. This song and of course Angelina do just that. Thank you
Ah, a Gerswin fan, as am I. Love that song too.
Yes and when I first heard Angelina sing Summertime my eyes went blurred. Still gets me.
@@ronjones1077 Me too.
It’s so interesting to read where people are from and what life is like near them.
A thoroughly enjoyable 26 minutes of musical interpretation. For me, it is wonderfully connected to Angelina’s genius. Ludger creates his own magic with the point of origin being AJ’s effortless and spontaneous creation of musical beauty before our eyes. She seems to create a new starting point for every song she performs, spreading her “Angel Dust” all throughout this classic song. I really enjoyed this.
These two sessions with Ludger have been fascinating and educational musically. Learning to listen at this late date is a blessing, as is the Angelina phenom...
Hello, Alan and Ludger. Angelina's version has a lot of melancholy in it. This has been enjoyable, but doesn't feel complete. I do appreciate the time and effort you make for these videos, Alan. Very much so. Looking for the next one already. Thank you, Ludger for sharing your gift of interpretation with us. Please come back. Grandma Ellen, over & out. 💜
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you both. It would be interesting to hear her sing this song with piano accompaniment!
Amazing! Ludger’s capability to interpret Angelina’s performance is very interesting. And how he is able to shift moods with his interpretations shows that he is a very good musician. But what stands out for me is that Angelina is a musical genius, who can capture emotion, beauty and style like no other. Alan, what a great collaboration between Ludger and you! Congratulations to both!
A great and accurate comment
@@lydiabentley3413 Thank you Lydia. I appreciate your comments a lot!
Ludger is indeed a phenomenon. His interpretations are impressively good. And Angelina, of course, sings in her own league. Thank you Alan for the interesting compilation.
Gosh Ludger is a fantastic piano player! Wow! Thank you both 🙏👌 love the way she changed this song! Angelina is a fantastic story teller!❤️💫
Alan, it is very hard to comprehend the fact that all the music that I have experienced in my 75 years is new, and far better, when performed by Angelina Jordan, and it has meaning like it never has had before in the past with the AJ touch. In the movies we see stories about SUPPERHEROS that are fantasies, but in Angelina Jordan we have a real SUPERHERO that can use her powers to bring peace to all that experience her.
I took piano when I was young...I wish I would have taken it more serious - I had a teacher that did not like children so.....Later in life I was singing with a piano player (jazz) and really wish I would have pursued the piano more..... and of course start younger.....Thanks for this as always....
Alan, great attempt to analyze what is Angelina Jordan, I have tried but I am left in awe.
Amazing how slowing down a song can turn on emotions like a waterfall. Add AJS magical voice is like heaven on earth.
Thanks Alan, this went so perfect. Hopefully ANGELINA will work along these lines in the future. Inspirational classical suits Angelina well.
Movie sound tracks from the past come to mind. Powerful and inspirational is in AJs wheelhouse.
Thanks Gentlemen ❤️♥️
Ludger helped me to appreciate the power or just one note ... "all the leaves are brown" and then "all the leaves are BROWN "
Angelina created this Masterpiece just a few months after coming to LA in 2018. She had just received this fantastic Neumann microphone for her 12th Bday, and this was one of several Incredible performances with Ivan during that time (Stay, A Million Years Ago). I'm a child of the 60s, so this song was indelible in my mind. When I first heard her rearrangement, it just blew me away. I thought, how can a 12 yo girl take this classic R&R song and create something brand new; a blusie, jazzy version that is just unbelievably great. Maybe Ludger had the same experience when he first heard it. Of course, this was a prelude to Angelina taking other iconic songs (Bohemian Rhapsody, Suspicious Minds, etc.) and creating something brand new. The thing each transformation has in common is that she slows it down and gives it a bluesie, jazz vibe, which of course, is right in her wheelhouse. I really enjoy your sessions with Ludger. His phrasing/timing on the piano is impeccable. I could listen to him play for hours. Thanks Alan. Looking forward to more of you and Ludger. 😊😊
Yes, that is the plan- for L and I to do more sessions together.
I enjoy these as much as anyone else. If you look carefully, he will regularly knock me back in my chair- I almost swoon from his playing- it is so unexpected.
I sent him a list of several different criteria he could use to choose the next song we would listen to together.
And it stretches him and me and the viewer
@@thealanpapier That's great news, Alan. When I mentioned his phrasing/timing, one of the most impressive components of that is his use of negative space/pausing. That has it's own emotional impact. Several commentors have mentioned how great it would be to remove the guitar from this performance and allow Ludger to accompany her on piano. Don't know if you can do that, but like them, I would love to hear it.
@@wajj1842 I know which website to use to separate the vocals from the music- so it can be done. And I think it's a good idea. I think Ludger would also like this experiment too.
@@thealanpapier 👍👍
Ludger is a classical pianist with a jazz mind! He is a genius. He's a Chopan hand with a Thelonius Monk freedom.
Thank you again Alan , what would be interesting if you block out Ivan’s guitar and let Ledger play along with her singing , that would be something to hear , nevertheless this was beautiful Ledger is wonderful ❤❤❤
I would also like that experiment.

@@thealanpapier Awesome!
@@thealanpapier I also could collaborate with you on that! Perhaps he could be sent a vocals-only video of her singing and devise a piano accompaniment by listening to it on headphones as he plays..
She do that piano playing name and he translated were out of song to the music. I watched every bit of that and I appreciate that and I thank you very much. I said William from USA. Have a great day.
Would have loved a crescendo for this piece. Not sure you would agree? Something dramatic, heavy drums and keys?
Are we going to be seeing any Angelina soon? Will we not hear anything till school is over ?
She's still producing stuff on Instagram and Tiktok. My guess is she will drop something for Xmas. Would love to hear a new version from her of "All I Want for Xmas Is You".
@@wajj1842 Yes, she kills that song & a professionally done B&W cover would be a great Christmas present for us all.
Angelina is a wonderful artist and this song is one of my favorites with her. Hearing Ludger play makes me wanna hear him do the whole song. I did not think of Chopin, it imediatly made me think of the first four minutes of this, ua-cam.com/video/XizRiUoOGW4/v-deo.html
