- 8th & FINAL Installment of Jamtasm's Summer Musical Series
Pretty much I saved the best till last. Thought I might do something a lil different and special for the intro :)
Les Mis' is my all-time favorite musical, which may seem strange because it's not a 'Triple-Threat' musical as it doesn't have any dance. But that just means the pure drama of the acting, singing and the powerful score just makes up for it.
I fell in love with the score years ago even though I'd never seen the show at all, and after 4 years of obsession I finally fulfilled my dream and saw it in London's West End Queen Theatre. Breathtaking experience.
Les Mis' is a rich concoction of romance, loyalty, redemption, duty, sorrows of war, revolution and honour. Set in the early 19thC France, based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, Les Mis takes us into the journey of one man, Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption. It examines the nature of law and grace, the history of France, politics, moral philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, faith, and the nature of romantic & family love. All bound together by one of the strongest musical scores ever written by the Powerhouse Duo C.M Schoenberg & Alain Boublil, including my all-time musical favorite "One Day More".
Hope this gives a lil taste of what to expect if you ever hear the musical, and, inspire you to check it out! I hope I've done this musical justice and I do thank those of you who actually committed to sitting and watching/listening to this for 20mins!!! Hats off to you! (I actually realized I accidentally left out a few songs; "Lovely Ladies/Turning", "Red & Black", "Dog Eat Dog" and some other more 'dialogue' songs...D'oh).

レミゼのピアノを弾く人は沢山いますが、
こんなに魂を持って行かれたのは初めてです。
あなたの指はまるで歌っているようでした。
何回もレミゼは見ましたが、その場面が目に浮かびます。聴き終わったあとは、ミュージカルを見終わったように感じました。
素晴らしい演奏ありがとうございました😊
I know I’m like 9 years late but... this is amazing. Also, I’m glad there’s a medley that actually has Stars

Very enjoyable. Since seeing this marvelous musical in concert (10th anniversary) a few years ago, it has become my favorite musical of all time. I marvel that 20th century musicals just got better and better, until I thought they just couldn't be more wonderful. Then came Les Miz! And Philip Quast!
Very good!!!! I also like les miserables very much!!!! Thank you for your music!!!
Really pleasing
The last three minutes. Just love.
Many many hundreds of hours of practice - Thank-you for the effort. I wish i was so gifted.

I wish other words could describe this!
Thanks mate, I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video, it means a lot to me. Glad you enjoyed this :)
Terrific! Absolutely perfect.
@JAMTASM i realised! a bit surprised! i dont however remember this showing up in my subscription box - so maybe that's one reason?
I love Les Miz so much :D Sounds so good on a piano. hehe
Playing as though you were part of the barricade.....loved every minute of it..well done!
One word: awesome!
This is the first Medley I can find that includes all the songs in the Musical. Thank you!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Bravo! The best of the piano
You covered the whole story in 20 minutes. Fantastic!
I had to keep pausing this because I was so overwhelmed with emotion.This is music at it's finest--you truely capture the pain and love of life.God bless!
THank you for your support and encouragement! Glad you enjoyed it! God bless you!
Thanks Becca!! Buying the book was worth it; though it didn't have ALL the songs so I managed to acquire the piano conductor's score and get all the other songs and blended it all together :)
Great to hear that you're encouraged by this video to keep on playing and work on conquering the Les Mis songs, it really makes my day to hear things like this! Thank you for your compliments and all the best with your playing!!! I'm sure you'll do great; and don't forget to post me a link of it! :)
You're so inspiring!!
Wow, you really went all out! Great job. Les Mis is my favorite as well. I really especially liked the "Stars" portion. Thumbs up and keep up the good work :)
This literally brought tears to my eyes. It's beautiful. Well done!!!!
Fantastic. So much passion in you're playing.
This man knows how to play the piano! Love this video! Keep it up!
I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for watching! It is an old video, I should do a new recording of this! :)
Hey thanks for watching and enjoying it! :)
Honestly 96% of this is straight from the Les Mis piano book and the Piano-Conductor score (which you can find on 4shared.com) The rest is just me making my own transitions into the next song, which you can improvise some chords, melodies and motives to intertwine one song to the next. I'm sure you can use your own creativity & imagination to make it sound awesome!!
All the best with it!! :)
I sat through the whole thing easily! This was amazing! I sang along the entire time. :) You need to make this available for purchase, please! :)
btw, love your passion throughout the whole medley. And especially at the end where you sort of punch the air, it awed me. :)
Wow, thank you for your kind, kind words; I must admit I wasn't expecting such a response; it definitely made my day!! Thanks for watching and enjoying it; feel free to share the love! God bless you Haley! =)
This is so beautiful well done!! 🇫🇷🇫🇷
haha, thank you very much for enjoying this video!! I'm sure with enough practice and passion you can very easily do this too!! Keep on playing, and surely you won't be annoying people with this music, it's too beautiful!! :)
Feel free to share this video around! :)
Thanks again for watching!
Thanks for your support and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate it mate! Once you've been playing for as long as I have, your memory ability for playing increases more and more! I'll check out your video! Thanks again, J

+Sarah's Centre Thanks for the kind words; I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Fantastic.
Thanks for watching and enjoying it! God bless!
You are absolutely amazing so so talented
Thank you Kirstie!! xo
@alanshore17 Thanks for your kind words and support! Full respect to my fellow Les-Mis fan!! Stars is in the top 3 of my fav Les Mis songs! So beautiful! Cheers mate, J
Really amazing and impressive that he has it memorized, HOWEVER, very very disappointing that the song Red and Black was left out. :(
fantastic well done
Hi, thanks for watching and enjoying it! unfortunately I don't really have the time to transcribe it all, but fortunately it's not too hard at all, 95% of it is simply playing the song just as you would from the piano/vocal book. There's 3-4 songs that I got from the piano conductor score. There's nothing that I've done that's totally unique; as long as you know how to play each song, you can figure out a way to blend them in your own creative way!
Good luck!
Am sorry but you need to do a piano tutorial on this it was incredible
haha, aww thanks mate; I'm glad you enjoyed this. Unfortunately I don't have the means to make a tutorial video due to the lack of internet and time as I work on a ship. Honestly, all the songs can be learnt through any Les Mis Piano-Vocal book. You can easily obtain them online these days through various websites I'm sure. And then just find a creative way to link them all up! :)
All the best with it my friend!
@Epsinor78 Totally agree! Glad you enjoyed it! Philip Quast is a gun!
Great Job Bud! I Appreciate it! (^^u)
I have one question though, what did you use to record this auditory Art? And where did you place the microphone for optimal recording quality?
: )
hmmmm, an interesting thought; never considered it, especially as I'd have to re-record all the covers with a proper studio recording set-up (or at least have proper recording equipment). But I'm a fair bit away from having the funds to do that. If I ever have the time and resources to do it, I'll certainly let you know!
Once again, I really do appreciate your support, it means a lot to me Kirstie! Have a great week!!! =)
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
@debz12321 well I'm glad you eventually got to see it! Definitely agree, it works quite well on piano! Such a powerful score, absolutely love it! *Hi-5!* =) xo
wow!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! :)
This is so good!! :D You are an amazing piano player!!! I really want to play this on piano!! :) Do you have the piano sheet music for this??? Where did you get all of these music from? :) Which book is it from???
that. was. AMAZING!! well.. that was the best way to end my day :) Thank you so much for this! I was wondering if buying the book was worth it.. if it would/could sound anything like the songs and you proved that it can! I am now going to get the book and work like crazy to try and get this down! As i said before You. did. AMAZING!
Have you considered putting all your covers on an album that we can purchase? :D
Friendly tip, careful about making your hands flat. Your hands get flat once in a while which is a reason of your mistakes. but very beautiful.
Thanks for the healthy tip; it's been a while since I played "properly" since I stopped classical performance almost 10 years ago now, so my technique is not as proper as it used to be! haha :)
Also please feel free to share this around to those who may enjoy it! :)
I played with my hands flat since i first learned and every now and then it causes pain :(
theres nothing wrong with flat hands/fingers, you can not have a rounded hand shape and curved fingers all the time.
haha, well I did my best to keep it as short as possible but I struggle when there's so many good parts to the score! 20mins was the best I could do! Thanks for watching; feel free to share the love! :)
incredible ngl, you got any sheet music for it?
Thanks mate! I've got the sheet-music in book form. But feel free to check online: www.sheetmusicdownload.in/search?k=les+miserables
@@JamthePianoMan thanks, so glad you are active. Im subbed now and so il see all your amazing uploads
@@oscarsmusiclab7201 cheers mate! Enjoy it; though I must admit I'm not too active these days on this channel! 🤦♂😅
@JAMTASM Are you familiar with Tommy Korberg, who played Jean Valjean in the Swedish version of Les Miz? He sings Bring Him Home so beautifully! Another European singer I've just discovered is Sissel. Music lovers, check them out!
This is so wonderful! I love piano medleys, and I LOVE Les Mis, so being able to put this on and listen for 20 minutes is great! It blows my mind to think that you're playing this all by memory! One Day More is my favourite song, and since you seem to love it also, I thought you might enjoy my One Devon More video. I sing every part in One Day More. Check it out, if you wish. God bless, and great job, once again!
You and me both!!! =)
@Jeffleyton Thank you very much! I hope you enjoyed it :) God bless you, J
Does anyone know where to buy the original score sheets?
Wow
@debz12321 hehe, thanks Deb! funnily enough, being my fav oritemusical, it's one of the lesser viewed vids on my channel!
Thanks for your kind comments Sara! I do appreciate the feedback and knowing that the almost 20mins wasn't as boring as it could be for you! hehe
If I ever to re-record this for better sound & visual quality I'll be sure to let you know!
hehe, I always love a good power-fist-pump; it stems from my semi-amateur conducting years! :)
God bless you Sara, feel free to share this video around! =)
