Original title: Hello I am David! - A Journey with David Helfgott
After the Oscar®-winning film SHINE told the story of his extraordinary life, concert pianist David Helfgott achieved world fame as a unique artistic personality.
HELLO I AM DAVID! is the first ever documentary about this exceptional pianist; a wunderkind whose career seemed to be over after a nervous breakdown. Yet through the healing power of music and his great love for his wife Gillian, he fought his way back to normal life and the concert stage. This film allows us to witness David Helfgott's infectious passion and impulsiveness. He plays what he feels, he says what he thinks, and touches people in the true sense of the word.
Pure and direct in both his playing and character - this moving, inspiring film gives us a revealing insight into David Helfgott's personality and life in music. Yet HELLO I AM DAVID! is above all a film about love: The love of life, the love of music - and the compelling love between two people who are as enchanting as they are dissimilar.
What and awesome show. After watching this, I realized what a wonderful job Mr. Rush did portraying him in Shine, both brilliant indeed!
The young actor playing him should have been given an acting award, too!!!
I was embracing this until she started on the astrology business.
Belief systems are not uncommon in human behaviour. 😊🥁📻🎷
Me too
Yeah, it was the same for me. However, what she said afterwards about making a life commitment to someone so fragile emotionally kind of made it ok for me.
Yeah . The constellations are nothing
What an absolute joy of a human. Love this.
Such a loving Spirit. Happy hes well , alive, and moved on with success and stayed loving. Love Vanda guzman
I'm glad that Mr Helfgott has someone who cares and shares, and has helped him unlock the music in him.
Proud to be from the same city as David 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I watched the film "Shine" again today, which is in my dvd collection. What a lovely man and his wife is incredible. What a talent he is and such a loving soul. I found this because I wanted to know how he is doing now and Im glad that he still plays and is happy.
I don't know if he still plays or if he is happy.
He is 75 and his wife, Gillian, died last year at the age of 90.
Thank you. I didn’t realise that Gillian had passed or that she was 90.
Thanks, greetings from Brazil! We love Helfgott !
What a loving man. The movie Shine is still one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. According to David himself Geoffrey rush did a fair portraite of him which is not the case in other Self-portraiting movies
Young actor should have got an award!
Good to see a guy like this get along in this world!
It's so funny how he doesn't even look at piano and has a conversation during it. Amazing mind.
Playing without a score? Amazing. Beautifully done.
Good onya, cobber! Well done & good luck Mate! Keep on playing the music. You're beautiful. :) BTW - what was that piece you played during the concert in Orebro Konserthus? Found out - Sergei Rachmaninoff: Prelude in G major, Op32 No5.
One of my favorite pianist since the movie Shine
I wish I knew David and his wonderful wife Gillian in person. I'm so happy they found each other in life. She's exactly what he needed to keep his musical side going and he's exactly what she needed to fulfill her heart. God Bless both of them 🙏🙌👏💜
What a beautiful human being. Such an inspiration. I am so happy to see this man smile. He deserves the best
Gran pianista,gran historia de vida y de personaje!...muy inspirador,Mr shine!..
Amazing. This is a man to whom the music is more important than the notes... and a man to whom people are very important!
Beautifull documentary! It blew my mind, my ears and my heart ❤
Who knows what lyrical piece it is that David's playing on stage? Thanks, anyone.
Good question! Sounds like a folk song or Victorian song or a Liede? Your word lyrical is descriptive of it! The melody sounds something like Shenandoah.
Rachmaninoff op32 no5 in G Major, (found out from one of the other comments).
There isn’t a musician like David anywhere or anywhen
Think Derek paravacini is similar to him and a literal musical savant- maybe check out the documentary by the bbc I think called “Derek paravacini the musical genius” 👍🏻🥃
Ho incontrato lui e la moglie all'OSTERIA LE LOGGE di Siena una sera d'Agosto del 1985 .Era li per un recital
This is beyond beautiful.
This is lovely. David was awarded the Order of Australia at the start of 2021. His story is inspiring and I love the way Gillian used her astrological skills to accept David's proposal.
What a pure emotion ! So Divine
I wonder what he says while he’s playing.
Out of this world and any other. X
由衷的向大师致敬！祝福大卫老人身体安康、福寿绵长！
I Truly Loved watching - It is Beutifull.
Love & Best wishes - GF.
hes on fire
Yes your right, your a special person and needed in Davids life, sometimes god pairs us together.
your very your fa davd yours is from your son walter
If not for shine, I’m not sure when I would have found Rachmaninov but I don’t want to imagine life without it now. I owe this man more than I could ever ever express. Bravo David! BRAVO!!!
wow awesome history
Es un extraordinario pianista, me pregunto qué medicación tendrá pautada; me pregunto si habría tenido el mismo éxito o ser conocido, de no ser por su estado anímico. Probablemente sí o no, quién sabe... excelente pianista en cualquier caso. Gracias a la película Shine, al libro, a todos los que nos lo dieron a conocer
You're amazing!!!!
Adoro sus interpretaciones🎼🥰🙏
Thanks for uploading
ey, que anda haciendo mi primo australiano otra de sus piruetas?
Marcelo Helfgot, Buenos Aires
EXTRAORDINARY, I love this guy...
I’m here because of Emotion Sickness
He's a great pianist and quite a fruit loop!
I see part of myself in David.
Благодарю! (Россия)
まるでジャズみたい❤
David and Gillian had romance that almost any unhappy couple would be jealous of. They were clearly made for each other in every aspect.
I FIND DAVID HELFGOTT TO BE AN EXCEPTIONALLY GIFTED PIANIST AND A DELIGHTFUL COMPASSIONATE...XOX
Oh Gillian, such a wonderful perspective on life! Bless you.
He correctly mention and asked for ' the chai, the tea' without mixed it together.
2:22
I love this film and David Life. Thanks
Nel suo sguardo...la purezza di un fanciullo. 😊
My son is an autistic pianist
What has this man been eating that he still has so much energy even in his 70s?
눈물이 왜 나지
Amazing musician. With an amazing heart.
神
❤️
No cigarettes.
ㅎㅎ 예리하고 훌륭한 지적이에요:D
haha You have a keen observation and you pointed very well:D
I agreed with you~
He stopped smoking years ago by order of his wife ..... which was probably just as well given that he "downed" 60 or so a day.
Was in the stars, I suppose .... if you ask (now it is asked) his wife.
(8:30) is when the nonsense is introduced. 🤦🏻 Skip that section.
That section is my favourite of the whole thing.
@8:30 "motorbikeRay's" closed mind is surpassed.
The foundation upon which this incredible relationship in this story (regarding Gillian's undisputable role) is based; falls beyond such tragic ignorance.
Fortunately, David is beyond such infantile thinking.
By "nonsense" I'm referring to astrology, not their relationship.
@@motorbikeray Gillian's understanding of astrology, the nonsense your ignorance claims - is the foundation which allowed her to form the relationship. Without the nonsense, there would be no relationship.
