67 people disliked this because they're deaf and the batteries for their hearing aids ran out so couldnt enjoy the completely beautiful piece of music this is.. Move to England please Mike and teach me please! I love every single song you've posted and this was the piece of music that brought me so close to musical beauty. So awesome to see a genius in my own lifetime!
I listen to this song whenever I'm feeling sad or anxious, it just makes me feel good instantly and takes all the negative feelings away. Thank you for this wonderful piece of music!
I normally don't comment on these but I just wanted to personally thank you for creating and doing this piece of music. I think that this piano version of Pachelbel's Canon in D expresses feelings and emotions, turning them into sounds like no other, is by far the best version I've heard of. So thanks again. Pachelbel himself would be astonished I'm sure. Love the music.
Im just amazed at his fingering, too smooth, and the clarity of his notes wow. I havent even started on the song yet... This is definitely the best improvised canon on youtube.
My husband just died at the age of 55 and I am struggling. HE played piano just like this. His music talent was phenomenal. THANK YOU for sharing. This is the song I walked down the aisle to marry him long ago.
Wow. Pacheibel may only have dreamed of such a masterful piano improvisation. Your passion for music exudes from every phrase. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent and gift with us.
Mike is the best Pianist that I have ever seen,and has inspired me a lot on learning to play the piano myself. You can tell he has a great deal of love for the piano and the music. This is my favorite version of canon in D that I have ever heard. I just love it !!! Keep Up The GREAT Work Mike.
I love the sheet music lying around, the generally informal atmosphere, and the way he looks really happy and comfortable just going with the flow of the music. This is much better than the concert videos, nice one!
I first listened to your FLOATING CD as i was studying for my nurses license. Fast forward 42 years, and now that I am retired, I am listening where I left off! ❤❤❤
Every morning on way to work of school I bet i alwaya listen your paini playing :) it was made a long time ago though but it makes me happy ~ Thank you from south korea~ that’s beautiful
Yes - you are right - I should have explained better. Mike plays this piece differently every time he sits down at the piano. However one arrangement does exist because we had so many calls for it that we had it transcribed from the original recording which appears on his CD called "The Piano". You can get the DPD of the recording on iTunes or hear a sample on our website. It is a very popular arrangement.
I am sure for few things. And one of them is this; Music is full of gold. A type of gold that cannot be seen or be explained by words. It has to do only with our heart. A person that doesn't like (real) music can't feel real happiness. We need more music like this one...
I think I've commented on this before but I just love this video. I think this is actually the greatest song/improv I've ever heard. It gives me the greatest joy to listen to your music and to vibe with you. Thankyou
Thanks for this rendition, this is exceptional digging into every faculty into this familiar tune. I hear your passion for life and music. Wonderful. God bless.
He is one of the best example of a true pianist, he has his own style of playing it and he is not depending on a piece of sheet but on his heart on how he will play it,, good and smart... IDOL!
As a musician, I have always sworn to never play Canon in D at my wedding, becuase I've had to play it so many times for other's...but I think you may have just changed my mind on that. I loved everything you did. :) Thank you for keeping classic music beautiful.
Well done. It was great watching someone get so into the song while playing it. I must say that many people enjoy this song because of its simplicity, but this improvisation is amazing!
This has been on my favorites for a couple of years--a limited list, and I still return to listen. You've created an absolutely beautiful arrangement and played the hell outta it. Great job.
this song is why i began playing piano ..... I love this variation to it its so modern and sorta rockish lol comparitive to john shmidts pachelbel meets u2 in way but i love your accents .... bought this sheet and am about a min into it LOVE IT LOVE THIS TY FOR YOUR GLORY GOOD SIR!!! its like jazz in your face ... but everyone stopped coming :)
WOW!!! THIS IS SO AMAZING.. AND UPLIFTING. I spent 30 minutes trying to remember my password to input this comment. Simply excellent. It actually got me back into the Christmas spirit... THANK YOU SO MUCH. Peace and God bless.
Thanks bendh. I am doing some refinements to the sheet music...dynamics, articulations, improving the layout so anyone that already purchased it should get on my email list through my website to get notice of when it is ready. I will send free upgrades to those that have purchased it already.
Mike, Thanks so much for Doing this! I have listened to this song at least 500 times. I bought the Sheet music from you, had it Transcribed, and am currently on page 3. Cant wait to re post this one for you! You are my Inspiration, Thank you.
Fabulous , Positively outstanding, what a great arrangement, I am accustomed to playing the George Winston arrangement, Dude you totally "rock"! What a great upload, thanks for sharing. Your talent is phenomenal. Ethan
@gretalegs I play, and occasionally tinker when it comes to composing, however your gift is truly amazing, it's like Bill Evans, Pachelbel and Mike Strickland all got together and made beautiful music one afternoon, hats off to you sir for this wonderful piece, Sincerely, billanteddy
