I hope you enjoy my rhapsodic Rachmaninoff-inspired improvised piano cover of "You Are So Beautiful" - a song made famous by Joe Cocker (and also Kenny Rogers). This one was requested by two subscribers who always take the time to listen and to leave really heartfelt comments - so it was my absolute pleasure to play this today for Stacy Warmbrand and for Aleš Šuštar.
Stacy is a really beautiful pianist and arranger who also has her own YouTube channel - I'll paste the link below - she really is a wonderful musician so please be sure to check out her work!

Aleš is also a pianist and wrote to me that he enjoys most when I infuse the song with some classical influence - and when I listened to this song again last night and this morning I couldn't help but feel that the harmonies were a little like something from a Rachmaninoff slow movement - I actually planned to play a melody from his Cello Sonata in the middle but then.. during the recording I somehow accidentally started playing the D major Prelude (Op 23, No 5) .. but in A flat ... and ... well.. I'm as surprised as you that I somehow managed to remember it - at least the melody and the basic harmonies - it's a piece I studied at the Conservatorium in Brisbane, Australia many years ago - with my wonderful teacher Natasha Vlassenko - so somehow it is still in my head and heart!
For the month of August, I will be taking requests from my subscribers and uploading a song for them DAILY - So please subscribe and click the bell to be notified! To request a song simply comment on one of my videos or community posts! I value you guys so much and I'm excited to play these songs for you! To leave me a tip, please use:
