    He is playing a very technical arrangement without music sheets. Do you realize how difficult it is to remember the amount of key strokes for this song? Yikes! That dude was supremely gifted and talented. Truly he was 1 in a billion.

    I have never seen Liberace perform as a concert pianist. This is a refreshing departure and shows a great level of skill in this gifted artist.

    Back when people dressed and behaved as ladies and gentlemen. Modern society is trash. People don't even pay attention to a live performance anymore because they're constantly checking their phones.

    They can say whatever they want about this guy, but he truly was a Master Pianist. Just flawless performance.

    People love to talk about how flamboyant he was later in life and make jokes about him being gay. THIS is how he started. He was pure talent at the keyboard.

    He wasn't even remotely phased by the conductor looming over him.

    I don't care what the criticism might be, Liberace started this way as a musician, I like how he played.

    I can't believe that my wife and I met him one evening in 1979. We had been given tickets for a show at the Talk of the Town in London. Liberace was in the audience and sitting at a table next to the dance floor. During the dancing I went to his table and asked for his autograph. He asked if I would give him a few minutes and he would come over to our table. I never thought he would but he did. Not only that, he spent 15 minutes chatting with us. A real gentleman. He gave us his autograph and when I shook his hand it was putting my hand into a vice. A thoroughly decent man.

    He was a first rate musician, but there’s nothing wrong with playing what you like to play and getting rich.

    I loved Liberace since I first heard him play the piano when I was five years old and I still love listening to his music today at 74 years young!

    LIBERACE was the "Rolls Royce of Pianists"...without question. He was a gift not only to the US but to the entire world. What a privilege it is for us to even hear such an immense talent.

    This is one of the most difficult piano pieces and Liberace got it just right.

    Breathtaking. Couldn’t give a hoot about his private life. A man that can play and love and deliver performances as he did (and light hearted entertainment too) is one of the best Immaculate! He is so missed! He brought huge smiles and laughter too. Thank you Liberace 👌🤗❤️

    There was only one. There may have been some better technicians, but let's see them try it with all those rings on their fingers like he did along with the incredible costumes that he later became famous for. It's called entertainment.

    I never doubted his talent. This way a rare glimpse into the man playing so serious and beautiful.

    He set the bar so high it might never be reached by any human.

    He used to be on TV on a Sunday afternoon and he was my first crush and used to cry when he finished the show. Days of innocence and just loved his musical talent and his sparkling eyes and smile.
