Cyprien Katsaris live in Tokyo - Spontaneous Improvisation on his own light music 

Tutti noi pianisti di oggi siamo ridicoli, ripetiamo mille volte i passaggi, e abbiamo sempre paura di sbagliare. Questo è un genio, come Liszt, e non sbaglia mai nemmeno quando improvvisa. La sua facilità e sicurezza sono di pochi pianisti. Il mio non è un commento di un ingenuo, suono tutti gli studi di Liszt e il Rach 3; ma questo è un artista fenomenale.

Katsaris is one of the most important musicians of our generation. I’m sure his legacy will be remembered long after he’s gone

Thank fou Maestro for the relive the tradition of improvisation on the recital.

Cyprien amazes not only with his virtuosity but also with his skill as composer. Top quality stuff!

Titanic pianist and very good composer. The complete package!

Very beautiful melodies.. And harmonies. The spirit of the phrases is similar to Michel Legran's music

My god , mi skin feel something strange when I hear this man play his own music. Is my favorite composer after frederic chopin. All te world can apreciate this , is the language of the feelings. I'm from México I can't speak english a lot but I hope you can understand what I want to say you.

We need more musiciants like him !!

He is very very very amazing

You can almost sing to his music. He brings music to life, so emotional and expressive.

Stellar; beautiful tempo and strong feeling to his music.

This is so great. I wish he'd share his compositions with us more. It almost sounds like Brahms.

Sounds like sophisticated modern romantic movie scores....very nice.

oh my God, Mr. Cyprien, You are amazing composer. I think, that songs number 1. and epecially number 3., should be "music hit" with vocal and other musical instruments arrangement. I have still both melodies in my brain/mind and maybe I will play cover with that brillant themes. Yes brillant. I am you fan since I have heard "Chopin Sonata number 3 - very oryginal interpretation, that show us details of Chopin music". Best regards.

Sounds a beautiful Romantic Style and these pieces I absolutely love! Oh, I wish that I could play by ear:) These are absolutely ingenious! They seem to want to take you to a mysterious, yet joyful and quaint land:) I could listen to these 24/7!

Beautiful. Well done Maestro Katsaris.

Bonjour Maestro! Please consider publishing these wonderful pieces as I would really like to learn them.

Maestro, a CD with your own music...please...!!

Καταπληκτικός ερμηνευτής κ μάς μαγεύετε κ. Κατσαρή κ μέσα από τις προσωπικές σας δημιουργίες!!! Να είστε καλά, έχοντας πάντοτε έμπνευση, κάθε σας προσδοκία να πραγματοποιείται με χαρά!!! Παρακαλώ που θα μπορούσαμε να βρούμε C D σας, με δική σας μουσική??🤗

Thank you Maestro!

Bravo pour ces très belles improvisations, à la fois émouvantes et qui donnent envie de danser!

wow id love to see this music transcribed.....

La primera pieza que interpretó el Sr. katsaris tiene un ritmo muy latino, en general todas. (All the pieces have like a latinamerican rhythm.) Listen the latinamerican pieces from the Mexican composer Manuel M.Ponce: put "mazurka no.10 by ponce on you tube"

Fantastic stuff! I love Cyp's playing but it drives me nuts that he sits on the piano bench that isn't quite parallel to the piano.....

Εξαιρετικός !

ΥΠΕΡΟΧΟΣ , δεν σαςκρυβω τα τραγουδια του μεσυγκινησαν παρα πολυ , και εκτελεση τους φυσικα , ναναι καλα

so cute !

This concert pianist moonlights as a hotel lounge pianist.

good

The song starts on 7:32. Anyone knows the name, please? It deeply touches my soul,

It reminds me of Michel Legrand and Astor Piazzolla.

12:40 sounds like the changes to Autumn Leaves.

what piece is that originally?

La 1er ressemble bcp à la chanson de Gainsbourg " ces petits rien "

Does anybody know the name of the first song? please

Sehr schön, kommt mir aber alles irgendwie bekannt vor.

That music is so awful and that man is so lovable!
