In 1979 or there abouts my daughter was home on break from college and worked partime in a neighbohood restrauant when the owner called asking her to come in and help cook for a traveling celebrity's private luncheom. The owner also said that she was closing the restraunt except for a few invited guest and asked for me to come as well and help Liberace and his friends have a nice time. I want to report that he is/was a wonderful man! He was healthy looking, tanned, and dressed in newly ironed Jeans and knit top really nice hair cut and well groomed and he had three handsome young men with him as his aunertage . They came in so happy and smilling and greeted me, I was sitting next to his table and he went into the kitchen and joked and thanked with the help. He asked for a home made meal and desert. They did not have desert, my daughter piked up and said my brother is home from medical school and he can quickly make a German cake for you and Liberace was thrilled. He gave the lead cook, an older lady, a free fully paid trip, fullly compted trip with money to play with, for a Las Legas three day vacation for two. I was so impressed with his generosity and good of heart. He had a love for older people. A person could not help but enjoy and speak hightly of him and his friends. We all enjoy his music. Hope my story is interesting for you. Cheers and happy days for you all.~~~

No music, fingers that played music for us all to love and listen too forever. He was in show business for such a long time, not many entertainers can say that nowdays. RIP Liberace we will never forget you, I certainly won’t.

As a professional pianist, I can say this: Not only was Lee a superior pianist, but the inner depth of his heart went into every note he played. His phrasing, dynamic contrasts, his feeling for the depths of the music itself were felt with every note he played. Not only could one feel the tremendous musicianship he offered, but his very heart and soul were on display with every performance, whether it be classical or more popular tunes of the eras. Truly a genius musically, a child prodigy and a joy to experience, whether it be live or here, on youtube, where one can see and hear his beautiful performances over the years. He rests in peace now for many years, but his music lives on.

Such a gentle and kind human being. So very dedicated to his music. He grew up on the south side of Milwaukee and was made fun of by his classmates because he and his brother George would do nothing but practice when they were out of school. Such incredible talent unleashed in the depths of devotion and focus proves that there is always the source of all things guiding us and in us. He was awesome and that is so very inadequate to describe this beautiful human being who brought joy to so many people with his music. God rest your Beautiful Soul Liberace.

In February 1971, when I was 13 years old, I was lucky enough to be in the audience to see Liberace at the London Palladium, along with my parents. My mum (who died in 1974) had been a Liberace fan since the early years, watching him on TV, and it was a huge thrill for her to be able to see him in person here in England. Her only disappointment was that he never played "Clair de Lune" in that concert. So when at 13:13 Lee introduced that very piece, it gave me goosebumps.

Not many celebrities who would do something like that. And people can be jerks and say bad things about him, but his talent was beyond compare. Loved him...

I heard similar stories from his family and friends. I used to stay in his Palm Springs home whenever I visited the States in the early 90s. I was told whenever he was in residence at Palm Springs, he would prepare and serve meals at the local church across from where he lived on W. Alejo, for the less privileged who would gather each week to receive handouts of food. When he toured Australia in 1973, he was giving a press conference at Sydney Airport. During his interview, he noticed a mother in the distance trying to comfort her crying child. Liberace stopped the interview and approached the child, knelt down beside her, and brushed away her tears.

Liberace one of the best entertainers the 20th century ever produced. Many have said nonsense and evil things about the man and his music, but he laughed all the way to the bank. For my parents 25th we took them to the Latin Casino in NJ (show lounge not a casino), and we were able to get seats up front for them. Well Mr L, took the show off as usual and half way into it, asked he was celebrating a 25th anniversary and thankfully it was just my mom and dad.... Then he played the 2 songs they always loved to hear....the Anniversary song and Ave Maria. Well it was a packed house and mom and dad danced in front of the stage. Not a dry in the house when Mr L finished Ave Maria. Even he had tears in his eyes... Whenever I had a chance to see him live I gladly paid the $$$ to hear him. RIP Liberace you brought so much joy to so many and continue to do..... Pax+

THIS is a PHENOMENAL video! What a showman and musician! Out of curiosity, I played this video last night and was absolutely AMAZED by this man. Sure, for those like me not used to Liberace, it took me a minute or two to get over his effeminate and flamboyant mannerisms and costumes. But beyond that, I WAS ALL IN, absolutely floored by what I saw and heard to the very end. And this is coming from someone with a wide variety of musical tastes, from classical, to blues, to jazz, to rock, to metal, to country, to electronic music - whatever! What was just as remarkable as his incredible level of skill on the piano was how he connected to the orchestra and ESPECIALLY the audience - his adoring fans. For an entertainer to take his audience in, in such a way as though they were guests in the living room of his home, is extremely rare and touching, at least to me. I have never seen an entertainer adore his audience just as much as they, in turn, adored him. Gracious, humble, pleasant, self-effacing, humorous, classy, a gentleman - you name it - I cannot get in enough adjectives to describe the genius and humanity that was Liberace (at least as an entertainer - I know nothing about THE MAN, personally). Based on what I saw and know, I would place Liberace wayyyyyy up there in the top five, as far as one's impact on music and pop culture the world over during the 20th century. Like they say, I cannot imagine that there will ever be another one quite like him. LL

I care not for what has been said about his sexuality, he has been so underrated as a musician, this video proves otherwise.

@mattropolis99
@mattropolis99 4 месяца назад
Lets be honest. His musicianship is...just competent. Nobody collects Liberace records - he regularly makes little mistakes and his phrasing is not always the best. He picks easy, popular tunes. He knew from the get-go that radio was not the media outlet for him. The average concert pianist is better than him most days. What he did have is showmanship and a personal connection to his audience. He seemed to be a wonderful and generous person too. He was the 3 chords and an attitude version of piano - and as he said - he laughed all the way to the bank despite the critics. The London Philharmonic behind him likely was full of better musicians, but he made more and was better know than all of them.

It is completely normal for soloists to play by memory without sheets concerts of this length or even longer. I love Liberace. He was a great pianist in her style. Wouldn’t call him a genius gifted musician. But certainly one of a kind! ❤️

Not even a top 100 piano player. And I'm not saying he wasn't gifted but if you could have seen Beethoven, Amadeus, Chopin, Johann Sebastian Bach, ect. Absolute geniuses who took real risks with their music. Liberace would be the first to tell you he wasn't the best piano player but more of a pop star who dazzled with easy melodies.

This was 1983, sadly only four years before his death, and he still had it at age 63! For those casting aspersions on his pianistic skill, he was a child prodigy when he started learning at age four, and was a world-class concert pianist before developing his natural flair for showmanship and becoming the greatest entertainer in the world. The one word for Liberace that comes to mind is....unique. --- in the truest sense of the word.

I still get goose bumps when he plays. An artist like no other who could, by his music have almost everyone loving Classical Music by the time he was through and the ones who were so ultra prim and proper and on the snobbish side would be clapping along with others when he added his humorous side to the mix. He truly was one of a kind and there will never be his equal, or better. RIP Lee, you are sorely missed.

Muscle memory is more of an amateur thing I believe. Professionals actually memorise the piece and can stop and start at any point. Amateurs more likely to 'lose their way' if concentration falters and have no actual memory of the notes.

It's perhaps difficult for people who are discovering Liberace for the first time to fully comprehend the enormous impact he had on the world of entertainment; that even the likes of celebrities such as Lady Gaga today owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for having paved the way. To this, he was always obliging the media of their every request, there was never any displays of temperament coming from him. He was always a gentleman. Blessings, and thanks for the message :)

Love Liberace, I recall watching & listening daily. Black & White television. I was a child maybe all of 8 yrs of age. So inspired. I asked to take Piano Lessons! I had one concert. (smile) A solo..yes! I bowed like the real Liberace! One arm in front of pretty dress at my wrist,, the other behind me.. then, vice-versa, properly. Honorably No No I was to put one foot behind the other & extend my dress (sp)kersey, like a girl. Everyone giggled. I was so proud, that day to be a little piano player like the Famous Mr. Liberance (smile) The gigles didn't matter. I loved him then & love him now. His inspiration gave me gildance in my life. Besides being real fashion icon, he sparkle as a decent human being. Farewell Mr Liberace, master of the Stage, & Sound, capture of hearts young & old. Cya later
