Regal usage of space. She loves her instrument immensely and is re-opening the doors of pianistic swing that were blown closed by the passing of the many greats that preceded her entrance into the Jazz scene. Thank you Hiromi for shining the light.
Amazing how at 6:35 she decides to double the tempo and Anthony Jackson just follows immediately. No way he knew this was happening, he's just all ears. That double-tempo section is awesome!
How privileged I feel to be able to listen this rendition, should be called Ludwig’ s groove . Even he would be chuffed with this compliment to his masterpiece .
I saw this in Cologne Philaharmony, 30km from Bonn, where i was born and raised nearby later, Bonn, Beethovens place of birth..Beethoven whom i really dont care about as about most classical music..But this caught me completey unexpected. And i cried . As i do now. God, this is so beautiful, these transistions from classic to these blue notes.
Brilliiant. Also, Anthony is one of the best and most respected bassists on the planet- any comments about his lack of Jaco fireworks here within the context of a subtle, sparse supporting bass part in this arrangement shows little understanding of the bass's role in music.
yes, and with Anthony's unfortunate departure for health reasons, she's been using very interesting choices of bassists. Hadrien Feraud is one, and i've heard Jimmy Johnson's name mentioned for the future.
Neanche io sono stupito di trovarti qui :-) E grazie per avermi riportato a questo brano proprio oggi che è il mio compleanno. un ottimo pezzo della festa
I went to see Hiromi herrecin Cologne 30km away from Bonn, Beethovens birth town..because of my love for Simon Phillips..and this hit me completely off guard unexpected ..Boy did I cry.
I really admire the drummer here. He just ... stays out of the way. This song was between Hiromi and Anthony, and the drummer plays "just enough". Kudos! (apologies, I don't know the drummer's name)
+Mario Fuentes Sorry, but I'm going to disagree. Simon Philips is a fine rock drummer playing with Toto and the Who, but he's just an average jazz drummer. There are tons of drummers she could have who would be more appropriate and fitting with Hiromi and Anthony's talents. You're right. He stays out of the way. But a better player would be adding the appropriate kind and amount of spice. Compare the drummer playing with Stanley Clarke when she plays with him.
Aahhh man I love this, could listen to it all day. Hiromi is such a great musician, wish I could play like her. Such an inspiration. Who knew a Beethoven piece like this could be transformed in such a beautiful way!!!
It baffles me how there could be any dislikes to this video. No matter. I appreciate this video to the fullest. I love the jazz influence she has on this classical piece. Amazing.
Hiromi is coming to my town next month... think I need to go get tickets, she's just too good! Love this video, thanks for posting! It's so cool how happy Hiromi is when she's playing, brilliant stuff!
For me since the beginning of the 80's, Jacques Loussier and Claude Bolling have remained the 2 greatest Jazz pianists and composers....but now young Hiromi has joined them! There's the same play and freedom in her playing, as if her fingers had springs and those teasing rhythms. Just as the 2 masters, that lady ain't afraid of flying! What a discovery! Thank you so much.
I buy the albums, just to give a brilliant artist her financial due, but never listen to them. I'd much rather go to the live shows and listen to the live stuff on youtube. ALL her songs are better live. She feeds off the crowd energy, and we feed off her genius. It's exactly what live music is meant to be.
The musicians must communicate by telepathy to be able to play in sync with each other. Actually I believe that Hiromi is not of this world. She is from a far off world where instead of oxygen they breathe music. Beautiful Hiromi, thank you for the joy you bring.
Hiromi ist die Synthese aus Debussy, Gershwin, Art Tatum, Jaque Loussier und Edi van Halen. Sie wird die Musik eintscheidend weiter entwickeln, wie uns damals Miles Davis eine neue Evolutionsstufe geschenkt hat. Danke, Hiromi !!
He's saying that other jazz greats and legends (Hubbard and Harris) have thumbs down on their youtube videos of classic performances. There are many people in this world who ignore great talent and would rather put people down than recognize it and move on. Hiromi is well on her way to being accepted across the board, but she's still have people who vote her down simply because they can.
The slide, shift, is fantastic, seems easy, and feels so natural, and then one is in another world, in a way sucked, seduced, into a trap, and you can't go back- until she takes you there, by surprize, only to touch base, until another irresistible departure: like what you come to or not, chances are you will, admire and revere the ingenious musical slough you must, as much as the sheer brilliance of play.
Hermosisimo, te deja sin palabras, kte transporta a otra dimension, casi diria la de los angeles.111111Gracias Aurimas por bajar esta joya!!!!!!!!! Desde Buenos Aires, Argentina !!!!!!!!
Freddy Hubbard (First Light) and Gene Harris - This Masquerade, what do they have in common? They too have thumbs down posts.

She will prevail and be as popular as her mentor, Oscar Peterson.
jazzin Beethoven???
such a bad idea... until you hear this.
unfreakinbelievable... so beautiful!
Besides her heart, the cleanliness of her touch and her precision are out of this world
Steve Galante estudió piano clásico,that s why....
She is one of the most talented people to ever play the piano. Brava, Hiromi. Can’t wait to see you end of March….BLUE NOTE NYC
Beethoven would cry of joy !
Hiromi smiles cause she loves it, and that makes it better. She's amazing, and so is her amazing band.
This trio is fantastic - with Simon and Antony Hiromis expressionism has the ideal partners.
We are witnessing a musical spirit of the highest order. How fortunate this world is! Thank you Hiromi.
Regal usage of space. She loves her instrument immensely and is re-opening the doors of pianistic swing that were blown closed by the passing of the many greats that preceded her entrance into the Jazz scene. Thank you Hiromi for shining the light.
For me they are The Best trio. Three superlative musicians capable of sweet lyricism and up to almost demonic intensity and power.
Amazing how at 6:35 she decides to double the tempo and Anthony Jackson just follows immediately. No way he knew this was happening, he's just all ears. That double-tempo section is awesome!
They stopped the section on the same beat so I think they rehearsed that part
Hiromi never stops to astonish me with her work...
....Jackson has so much synergy with Hiromi.....supremely musical.....totally tasteful...
How privileged I feel to be able to listen this rendition, should be called Ludwig’ s groove . Even he would be chuffed with this compliment to his masterpiece .
Music on this level is healing,pure and inspirational.
I saw this in Cologne Philaharmony, 30km from Bonn, where i was born and raised nearby later, Bonn, Beethovens place of birth..Beethoven whom i really dont care about as about most classical music..But this caught me completey unexpected. And i cried . As i do now.
God, this is so beautiful, these transistions from classic to these blue notes.
She graduated Berklee College of Music at the top of jazz composition course and Contemporary Writing & Production course.She is a born genius.
Totally sublime. A great change from her more frenetic pieces, which are my favs
Beethoven would have loved her MADLY!
+Peter Brandt Pedersen . I know I do.
I am not sure.
i just love her. She's a genius.
0:26 Beethoven's like wtf? no way did she just... 0:42 Beethoven shuts up sparks a huge joint with the biggest smile of appreciation!!
Impossible not to surrender with a performance like that. Amazing and really exciting !

@@aoxomoxoanyc What about Tal Wilkenfeld?
@Michael Harrison agreed. Tony's fantastic.
One of my favorite pianist right now!!!🙏🙏🙏
mr ludwing van is smiling, up there
me, I'm crying my soul off. this rendition is a reminder that there's Beauty in the world
Doesn't Beethoven's original remind you of that?
Gianluca Sgalambro non mi stupisce trovare un tuo commento qui. penso la stessa xosa
Neanche io sono stupito di trovarti qui :-)
E grazie per avermi riportato a questo brano proprio oggi che è il mio compleanno. un ottimo pezzo della festa
Sono molto contento di averlo fatto allora :-) Un abbraccio e auguri
I went to see Hiromi herrecin Cologne 30km away from Bonn, Beethovens birth town..because of my love for Simon Phillips..and this hit me completely off guard unexpected ..Boy did I cry.
Hiromi est tout simplement merveilleuse.
I think Beethoven would truly be honoured.
Wonderful tribute to the Best Improviser of all time, Herr Ludwig van Beethoven. Thanks for this video and great performance!
Yes. I'm entusiastic! For my writing esprimed he music.
ベートーベンの微笑む顔が浮かびます。
Simply beautiful. A moment ago, a friend reminded me of the exceptional Hiromi Uehara. Thank you for sharing this performance.
I really admire the drummer here. He just ... stays out of the way. This song was between Hiromi and Anthony, and the drummer plays "just enough". Kudos!
(apologies, I don't know the drummer's name)
I just thought the same, I almost forget he is there!
Awesome performance!
Simon Phillips
Rik Spanks The drummer is Simon Philips !
+Rik Spanks If you like what Philips is doing, check out the albums he has played in, with Toto, with Protocol... even with Judas Priest
+Mario Fuentes Sorry, but I'm going to disagree. Simon Philips is a fine rock drummer playing with Toto and the Who, but he's just an average jazz drummer. There are tons of drummers she could have who would be more appropriate and fitting with Hiromi and Anthony's talents. You're right. He stays out of the way. But a better player would be adding the appropriate kind and amount of spice. Compare the drummer playing with Stanley Clarke when she plays with him.
astoundingly clear, even, relaxed technique (and, even better, wonderful musicianship)
Aahhh man I love this, could listen to it all day. Hiromi is such a great musician, wish I could play like her. Such an inspiration. Who knew a Beethoven piece like this could be transformed in such a beautiful way!!!
She's fantastic!
agreed!
SHE LOVES THE PIANO--AND THE PIANO LOVES HER BACK !
It baffles me how there could be any dislikes to this video. No matter. I appreciate this video to the fullest. I love the jazz influence she has on this classical piece. Amazing.
How glad would have been Beethoven to hear this "variation" ...
Hiromi is coming to my town next month... think I need to go get tickets, she's just too good! Love this video, thanks for posting! It's so cool how happy Hiromi is when she's playing, brilliant stuff!
+Ed Kawalec I hope you get/got tickets! I'm going there in 10 days :)
Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin etc. etc. will be always our guidance. Wonderful tribute!
For me since the beginning of the 80's, Jacques Loussier and Claude Bolling have remained the 2 greatest Jazz pianists and composers....but now young Hiromi has joined them! There's the same play and freedom in her playing, as if her fingers had springs and those teasing rhythms. Just as the 2 masters, that lady ain't afraid of flying! What a discovery! Thank you so much.
Hiromi’s musical prowess is phenomenal!
食材が一流なら、調理師も一流。彼女のアレンジャーとしての才能があふれた一曲。気がつけば、音楽という鍋の中で私の体が溶けていく・・・
Habré escuchado ya unas 20 veces, y siempre me dan escalofríos!. BELLÍSIMO!
I'd like to think that Beethoven is smiling down on this.
I don't know anything greater than this. This music touches me more than anything else. Thank you!
this is becoming one of my favorite of her solos. i really like it a lot.
これがJAZZなんだよなぁ。
心奥底に沈み混む、何とも言えない心地好い重さ。
嫌な景色をズックで踏みつけ、掌に掬った優しく目映い瑪瑙のよう。
I love the joy in her face while playing piano. Thats pure!!
Amazing performance!
Music to take away all your pain and worries . It’s nice to get numb now and again .
Great interpretation by the best pianist Hiromi!
At least once in my life I'll go to her concert, even if I have to go to Tokyo!
Love her passion and style. You Go Girl!
Can't get better than this!
Fragile, exquisite and timeless beauty............
beyond genius!
One of the best pieces of music I've ever heard!!
soooo much more rich than the album version! such a subtetly. Delicious.
I buy the albums, just to give a brilliant artist her financial due, but never listen to them. I'd much rather go to the live shows and listen to the live stuff on youtube. ALL her songs are better live. She feeds off the crowd energy, and we feed off her genius. It's exactly what live music is meant to be.
What kind of MUSIC ! From heaven. From the angels themselfes. Terrific !
Love this!!! So chilled
This is sheer bliss.
Just incredible
浜松人として、大変誇りのあるピアニスト「上原ひろみ」!
本当にそうですね。ヒロミさんは世界の財産🎉 大谷くんと似ていますね。笑われるかもしれませんが広島出身のベビーメタルの中元すず香も知る人ぞ知る世界の財産です。三人共通してるのは自身も幸せそうで見ればみんな幸せになります。
In some phrases there are angels and gnomes guiding the hammers in their way to the strings.
This was fantastic.
今宵は、「上原ひろみ」さんと「ベートーヴェン」を聞きます。
音楽って、すばらしいです。
no words - lovely
She's a goddess
0:43 every time I hear this blues lick I get goosebumps, simple but so groovy
marvelous !!!!!!
I've listened a lot of time this . I love you.
素晴らしい、の一言。
The musicians must communicate by telepathy to be able to play in sync with each other. Actually I believe that Hiromi is not of this world. She is from a far off world where instead of oxygen they breathe music. Beautiful Hiromi, thank you for the joy you bring.
Traces of Godfather Peterson all over this, but still pure Hiromi. Love.
Exquisite transcendental fun! Such a joy to be along for the adventure!
wtf!!! 6:07 so sweet ....her independence is staggering!!!
Her playing moves me like no other ever has.
Unbelievable
Juste la classe, juste parfait!!!
absolutely incredible!!!!
wow , i love this.. beautiful
太赞了！夏夜晚风吹拂，沉醉于摇摆、治愈和浪漫～
Thank you for sharing:) this is absolutely beautiful...
Now this is truly a great interpretation!
本当すごいです!
Total Genius!!
Hiromi ist die Synthese aus Debussy, Gershwin, Art Tatum, Jaque Loussier und Edi van Halen. Sie wird die Musik eintscheidend weiter entwickeln, wie uns damals Miles Davis eine neue Evolutionsstufe geschenkt hat. Danke, Hiromi !!
Es una interpretación exquisita de estos grandes músicos, Enhorabuena y gracias de todo corazón!

Quelle finesse Hiromi. Adorable...
I'm so stoked for her performance in DC in 4 days :)
I d like to listen to her playing classical music
Impresionante Hiromi, sus dedos bailan..que sencillamente bello!!
Bellissimo! E il vecchio eterno Ludovico Van, nella tomba, è contento!...

can she play!!!! wow! this all great!
Absolutely amazing! From Beethoven's notes to Hiromi's fingers, fly the wings of Artistic Freedom!
The stamina and concentration to maintain the speed of that trill from 4:50....wowza
She is awesome live. I hope that you can, too!
He's like a big frog. A big sassy frog. I love it.
Energie et douceur...

Freddy Hubbard (First Light) and Gene Harris - This Masquerade, what do they have in common? They too have thumbs down posts. These musicians show their talents so expressively, yet we have people who are clueless. Hiromi has gained the respect of her piers and millions of fans worldwide. She will prevail and be as popular as her mentor, Oscar Peterson.
