If you read the books you can see why this fits so well. A noble man who once wanted to be a monk then a stage clown as a child. Who lost all but his mother to the revolution. Then his life was taken agianst his will by a vampire. Then, becomes a killer who is brought low by those he turned. Then to lose one of those he made. Only to rise to hedonist fame only to experience the effects of a vampire wanting to be a goddess. This is a man who wanted first faith, then love, family, and then joyous life has to settle for blood. A fitting tragic theme of a truly tragic villian.
I wouldn't go as far as to call him a villain, more of an antagonist in relation to characters like Louis, and just sort of someone who wants to actively forge things out for his own. He just doesn't want to regret anything, that's all. But yes, he isn't "good" as the books go, and he's like that. I'm just very *fond* of him, I suppose. Perfect summary.
Don't forget the one who brought back his own mother and made her his lover to have her abandoned her..I mean, that is some childhood trauma and Freudian f***ary
"Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on the diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something like himself again." Bravo!
"Listen, Louis. There's life in these old hands, still. Not quite furioso.... Moderato... Cantabile, perhaps..." I've had this mini soliloquy memorized for a decade and a half lol
The deeper notes from beginning to end... I felt I myself walking the dimly lit streets of New Orleans, a warm red shining presence coming closer and closer from behind. Being hunted by him. Loved by him and loving to hate him 😭👏 Absolutely breathtaking, I feel as though I understand his love of the arts and humanity through pieces like this ❤
“I am the Vampire Lestat. I’m immortal more or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire- these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not. “
I don't like vampire films, but I'm glad I saw this one. The film was excellent, but most of all I discovered this extraordinary piece of music. I shall add it to my collection of other classical music.
But what is it? Musically if I wanted to listen to this on Spotify what do I look up? Because I’ve tried Haydn sonata E flat 59 and it doesn’t sound the same as this! Please help!
It's 2:30 in the morning and pitch black in my room. A thunderstorm is raging outside with blue flashes of light briefly illuminating my surroundings. Honestly its kind of spooky but also oddly serene. Great work!
Before UA-cam was really a thing (it was new) I recorded myself playing this by ear as best I could from memory on an 8 track my music teacher mother brought home from school. I tried to find it online but in vain... Kids these days don't know how easy they have things.

I greatly enjoy effects of still but moving with old age and dark color as no.12 makes us feel slow and dark but still moving with life. Perfect even at end with no moving...
To be honest this is the best I've ever heard it played. There is so much tenderness here which gives extra richness to the sorrow of the music. His touch is exquisite. Better than horowitz and gould. It is darkness and light at the same time. The forerunner to the moonlight sonata. But I much prefer this piece by Haydn. It is almost the original gothic piano. I simply adore this music.

a very... very naughty. Little. Girl."

@Imagineth Those were really fascinating words ❤️😁

Calm down dude, it's just fiction for crying out loud.
I've read all of the Vampire Chronicles book series. They're making a new TV series about the Vampire Chronicles!! I can't wait to see it!! 😍😍😍😍😍
@@michael7264 That's the point of most fiction ya' goomba. To feel the story as a writer does.
"Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on the diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something like himself again."
Bravo!
Claudia..........you've been...a very...very...very...naughty little girl...
I literally read this out loud with Lestat’s voice. Obsession!!
How could it be!

Lestat in a nutshell
He protec
He attac
but most importantly,
He plays a wicked good piano trac
This makes me cringe. I never want to see these formats again, I just want them to die out.
@@Fluffadoodle Oh come on, smile a little
Gold!
I find it funny more because this is the last video I thought I would see it on

In these times, this brings solace. From the moment we were informed that Mrs Rice is not with us anymore... I listened to you. Thank you.
Anne is still out there..only her body died. Pay no attention...happens to us all. She is immortal
I miss her. Hug. ❤
Ask the alligator, his blood helped.
Then on the diet of snakes, lizards, and all the putrid life......of the mississippi.
Claudia... You have been a very very... Naughty Little Girl 😠😒
Lestat in the Mississippi River: 🤮🤮🤮
Also Lestat at Piano
🐸🦎🐊
Claudia....
😂😂😂😂😂👍
@@DarioErrik u high🙄?
"The putrid life of the Mississippi" echoing in my brain now.
One of Tom's greatest film moments. The dude is a living legend.
So wonderful...especially with the sound of the rain in the background. Morose and dark, just like everything I love.
So do I
And me!
As I write and listen it is raining gently on this cold February evening.
@@wakechester you're blessed, playing this piece from the cursed 😏😅
Then, you should also love me
I don't like vampire films, but I'm glad I saw this one. The film was excellent, but most of all I discovered this extraordinary piece of music. I shall add it to my collection of other classical music.
Anyone who can play this is truly gifted.
This is the first piece I ever learned to play. Its not as difficult as it seems, for which I am glad because its so beautiful and a joy to play
I'm learning this next - because the scales ("harmonies") are so natural
@@gormoboskos Hope it’s fun for you.
I played a bastardized version by ear starting sophomore year of high school 😅
But what is it? Musically if I wanted to listen to this on Spotify what do I look up? Because I’ve tried Haydn sonata E flat 59 and it doesn’t sound the same as this! Please help!
I could fall asleep to this on repeat
Thanks (hopefully that’s a compliment!) :-)
Rob Wright Oh no it for sure is!!! 💕
I do!!
Me too! Love the way he plays it 🙂🖤👏🏼
I still do..the melancholy ths pain the wanting of peace it's so....just right
"Where's mama?"
"Mamaaaa has gone to heaven chérie, like that poor lady there" 😂😂
The greatest performance of this mighty beauty. As I listen I envision a ballet
It's 2:30 in the morning and pitch black in my room. A thunderstorm is raging outside with blue flashes of light briefly illuminating my surroundings. Honestly its kind of spooky but also oddly serene. Great work!
One of the best part's from an INCREDIBLE movie
I agree!
Listen Louie, these old hands have life still. What a great intro before trying to take out Louie and Claudia!!! Lol
agree
Honestly this is one of the most beautiful piece I want to be this good one day
It's not a difficult piece to play really - but I agree, it's a very nice piece of music.
Same here I want to play so badly
“Claudia you’ve been a very, very, naughty little girl”
Beautiful, I, traveled through time and space, while listening...
its great, one of the best pieces on the piano i think, it is a complete melody
Love it. This piece has inspired so much between me and my electric piano (no shame, it never goes out of tune)...
I have elec too
Unfortunately the grand piano mode makes it sound very cut off and the sound doesn't flow so well lol
Beautiful!❤️
Thank you.
In 2024 iam astonished about the great comment about Lestat. It's happening: Lestat as the more fortunate better pianist then Beethoven.
The tempo is perfect, not really furioso, rather moderato cantabile vv
My soul 🎶 is feeding ❤ chefs 💋👌🏼
in the film version it was more supported, and slightly faster, which gave more dark emotions to this music
Playback: 1.25x
Magnifique 👍
Thank you!
listen Louis
Beautiful Rob. This piece is one of my favorites. 💕🎹🎼🎶🎵

Yup.. So true! These tutorials are great! I had to take classes in the olden days 😅
Beutyfull!!! Art!!! Press like this men really great
Thank you!
Alligator has left the chat
This comment straight up had me dying.
This sonata is so beautiful he is excellent

You can do it!
Beautiful
Thank you
Those Bad-Ass Bass-Lines
Chills..

You just earned a new subscriber. I wish I could play like that!
This song is why I ever wanted to learn to play piano
Very nice
In the movie there is some text as well, fortunately, as nothing much happens in the music.
Thank you for this.
Thanks for listening!
Enjoyed moody! Jb
It's beautiful music 👍 - from an equally grandiose film
Thank you - and yes, great film!
Lestat was right.
He was always right.
you can clearly see how much haydn influenced mozart.
love this
Love it
Amazing pice this sounds great. Let me know if you want somone to come decorate your living room. it's looking a bit depressing.
king climbing - yeah, a lick of paint would cheer the place up eh.
So Beautiful 🖤 Love it!
Thank you.
Una maravilla
No encuentro este video en facebook
Love love love!
Please play bach adagio in d minor
Thanks for this suggestion - I took you up on it... ua-cam.com/video/dhYINdrbaMY/v-deo.html
I would love to remake this in my own image but add a few things , I love this song so much this would be a great outro to a video

Amo el tema
Just a singleton find. Iam always driven with Beethoven and for Elise but know...lestat? You break my heart.
Claudia... You've been a very, very, naughty little girl.
Yes, she had.... lol
Muy bien. Para mí, mejor ejecución que en el soundtrack de la película 👏👏👏.
Thank you!
Amazing
Thanks
You're wonderful 👏❤
That's what SHE said!
RIP Anne Rice :(
Pleasing to my ears ✨☠️
Thanks !
