Not many people know this but he is learning a new language in his ear while he plays...he brings multitasking to a whole new level😁

Hey man, I love your music. My father was a pianist and he tried to teach me when I was young, hoping to spark something, I never really took interest. I discovered your music a couple years ago and loved the fusion. I showed him. He enjoyed it a lot and we were able to share something. So, thank you for helping me get closer to my dad before he passed.

Nothing moves my soul quite like the Moonlight Sonata, this was amazing! Brought tears to my eyes. I loved seeing some of the audience members get brave enough to move around and feel the music. 💜

I'm more impressed at the fact that at some moments he was closing his eyes while playing XD you and your encore are the perfect musical group :)

Moonlight Sonata is my all-time favorite classical piece. Your version is amazing! Original version sounds like a sad but joyful, hopeful piece to be played at a celebration of life service for those who have made plans for an eternal destination with the Lord. This version might be played to celebrate one's arrival in Heaven.

It's been a while since live music has giving me goose bumps and made me cry and the same time. Humbled

he looks so into it, he's smiling literally the whole time

i love that the audience shouted ‘MOONLIGHT SONATA’ and you played it. definitely a great choice

At first he didn't even plan to play this one on his concert, yet it's the first one he uploads on his RU-vid 😂 But this one sounded magical at the live concert and the standing ovation was totally justified ❤

Yes! The videographers' close-ups are finally released. I'm so happy! We love seeing the expressions on Lionel's face: his smiles, the intensity, his laughing, all the emotion. So refreshing so invigorating so inspiring. So liberating. :-)) *Thank you Lionel Yu for all you do for us, for music.* For the sheer joy glory nd beauty of it all. God continue to bless you richly! :-) [Love watching Lionel's hands too. Love the captions! Thank you, Lionel. :-) Videographers/filmers did a stellar job. All around excellent excellent performance. Excellent excellent Concert. :-)]

YOU MAKE ARE CHANGING HOW OTHERS CAN ALSO ENJOY CLASSICAL MUSIC AND EVERYONE IS HERE FOR IT I LOVEEED THIS!!

Finally we are able to see the high quality of live performance from Lionel London concert by amazing photographers! Absolutely the best Moon Sonata EDM performance from all Lionel concerts! Plus Stunning sounds, lights, concert hall and great audiences! We could feel from Lionel smile face and satisfaction that it was Lionel’s dream concert! Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊 Lionel! We are so proud of you 👍👍👍!

Its fantastic to have watched this song come out all those years ago, and to now get to see him perform it infront of a ton of people. We love you, Lionel!!

This isn't the normal remix you find on RU-vid - Lionel has brought a whole new level to music and I'm sure Beethoven is proud of him. I mean, not everyone could make the audience stand up and dance on a piano performance! Keep the hard work up!!!

Moonlight is my favorite 😍 Love his rendition

To have been there and felt the music must have been incredible. I can't believe I barely discovered this on RU-vid.

How you managed to not only make this an amazingly modern version but somehow injected more emotion into this piece than any performance or interpretation I've ever heard is beyond me. Sobbing as I write this! Thank you for creating this 💜

I’m amazed and absolutely speechless, been re listening this performance for past 2 days. Goosebumps each time, I can’t even imagine amount of emotions I would bear if I was sitting in this concert hall. Next time your in London I’m 100% getting tickets

one of my all-time favorite pieces, remixed into one of my all-time new favorite pieces. Seeing you play live makes me wish I'd been able to attend.

This was beautiful...glad I made it to the premier💯This made my day/evening! You are AWESOME Lionel and you music is truly moving to me...words can’t describe how wonderful it is to the ear! Hope you have a blessed rest of your week Lionel along with everyone else watching 💯🙏KEEP IT UP!

Your so impressive! After finding out about you last night, I listened to a few of your videos, and then brought my violin out of the basement for the first time in 10 years 🙄 so thank you for giving me the desire to play again ❤️

you played the full version in London?? YO That's Amazing!! Shoutout to the Launchpad!

I could listen to this every day for the rest of my life and be in Bliss. Surely this is how we play it in heaven!

This was always An Amazing Performances, And it always never ever gets tiring to hear.

LOVE THE DANCERS!! LOLOLOL!! MY TRIBE!!:-)))

You’re one of my favorite musicians of all time.

The hall reverberations from that piano must have been god tier! I'd really love to attend one and give you my biggest standing ovation, Lionel, because you totally deserve it

Wildly talented. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world!

Priceless how you started swinging on the stage! I'm sooo happy your concert is also on RU-vid! Yeah on the 3rd row is still to far to notice any details.

If only I could have him at my wedding, the best pianist I've ever heard.

To be able to create more than what the original music sounds like, to bridge that gap between what was and what is now. It is a huge task and quite a challenge, something I also do as a pianist. It's a fun challenge for me and I'm so happy that you are also doing this. You're quite amazing. I've been playing piano for 50 years, and you're quite an inspiration to me! So thank you for that!

Lionel I am so happy for you that all the years of hard work are paying off for you ! I've been a musician most of my life, but not even to close to your level, but I do know we share the magic that music can bring (those special moments where the sum is greater than the parts?). I really like your approach of adding the "new" to the "old". And have EDM as part of your classical compositions. So I wanted to make a suggestion, not sure how you would do this, but I think Rob Swire (Pendulum, Knife Party) is unbeatable when it comes to dubstep or modern day electronica (yeah I'm old lol). I think if there were a way for you two to meet, and see if you hit it off or not. Cause if you do, I think you two would compose some amazing music. I think Rob has created THE all time best drumstep song, with a Drop nobody has duplicated. I don't think there's a drumstep/dubstep song that even comes close to: "Pendulum, Witchcraft Rob Swire Drumstep remix". (make sure the subs are hooked up and the neighbors aren't home lol). But maybe you are already familiar with him, I just thought I'd pass it along for your enjoyment if you hadn't. Well just a thought, always like seeing "the greats" hook up and create even greater magic together, and think both of you are at the top of your 'respected' genres. All the best with your career, it's nice to see real talent still appreciated these days in music. Peace my friend.

People in the audience are having a party lol

I have no clue why but I have tears in my eyes it's sooooo beautiful!

Oh man I was pretty sure I’m cold, but then I found out I’m just shivering from this performance.

Legends say he is still standing on the stage 😂

I found your channel at the start of lockdown in 2020 and even in the last 2 years seeing how amazing it's become inspires me. Thank you for the music, you deserve the spotlight.

This literly brought tears to my eyes.

I think it’s absolutely wonderfull how you played this piece with little to no wrong notes!!! Absolutely incredible! I loved it and I would love to go to a concert of you to go as crazy as the crazy audience people did! Well done and keep up the good work bro❤️🙏🏼🔥🎉

AH!!! I just noticed the channel name change oh my! Lionel Yu Lionel Yu Lionel Yu. Of course you're MusicalBasics too but I love seeing your name there. Lionel Yu. Bravo, Maestro! :-)

Let's face it. You didn't want to leave and we didn't want you too either. We'd already overrun... And I did go crazy, Lionel! The sound at this point had to be felt to be believed... Wot a way to finish... Can't even begin to imagine how you must have been feeling throughout and after this epic performance... 😂 The visuals and editing on this one are superlative. You had a crack team there.

I love hearing classical music updated well, to be appreciated in terms of how we listen to music today. Typically my favorite is hearing classical pieces played on electric guitar, but this is absolutely a standout.

this is the best remix ive ever had

I just love all the modern twists you have inspired people to do for classical music. I love it!

You’re 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Musicalbasics is finally unveiled. I love your name a lot Lionel Yu!

Nothing short of brilliant.

Those other musicians on the stage are like, "Dang, I thought I was good!" - And how is everyone in the audience not up dancing?!?!?

I can‘t say how wonderful you Play . This is another world

Dude….when are you coming to New Jersey already!?!?! Would love to see you perform in person. Your talent is such a joy and blessing to those who are lucky enough to hear it. 😊❤

OMG! I've heard your remix so many times but this time was so much better! I wish I could have been there. Fabulous work!!! We appreciate your music.

Stunning....🎹🎼

An absolutely magnificent performance. 🎉

I may or may not be crying my eyes out right now.

Hundreds of years on top of the "charts" what a hit!!!! 🎶🎶 what a classic 🎶🎶🏅🏅

This is by far the best sound quality of your interpretation of the piece. I would even argue it’s the best remix of the song to date. One thing that really left me wanting more was the presence of other musicians on stage. I had really hoped they would come in at some point, though orchestration at that level is beyond my comprehension. They clearly admire your creation; it would be amazing to hear their instrumental contributions. People love this song so much, that you can just keep raising the bar with further adaptations, eventually becoming famous for inspiring what will inevitably become a new sub-genre.

I've just found your channel. I have no knowledge of classical music, but I do know when someone loves what they do. Well done young man. Look forward to viewing other videos.

This is truly amazing 👏 ❤️

Absolutely amazing from the first note you know its going to be an amazing work of art a pleasure for the ears another masterpiece thank you for sharing the amazing talent God has given you you're magnificent

This is beyond beautiful.it is heavenly

*milestone: first upload as Lionel Yu* 🥳🥰 This is an awesome remix 😇

i was literally in London for vacation when this concert happened :O

Beautiful 😍 beautiful 😍

Absolutely amazing

When did people in the audience ever jump up and dance to a classical piano concert? Your Moonlight Sonata Remix is virtually a trademark of your music, ability and creativity. Only minus: The captions in the video are really annoying and distracting. Would have done better without them, so as to enjoy this iconic piece without mental interruptions.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME DOWN A BIT SOUTH TOOOOO! I will pull in a huge crowd for you! MIAMI, maybe? 😭😭😭

I think you started my new hobby of composing piano music! Thank you!

This is next level!!! Magical!!!!! Congratulations

Amazing 🥲!

I'd be dancing in the audience too

wow wahnsinn es wird immer besser , super remix , super talentiert , respekt !!!

Excellent performance! I'm surprised this was in the UK because I always thought it was very rude to stand up in a seated concert and block peoples view.

Thanks!

this looks like it would've been a blast

Wahnsinn. diesen Klassiker neu interpretiert... ich hatte Tränen in den Augen, danke für dieses Spektakel... Genius.

I love that the bass (or is that a tall cello?) player is looking over your shoulder in amazement.

I'd LOVE to hear this and experience it. It'd also be neat to add in some strings on it as well. Maybe take it to yet another level.

I love this song, It’s just so inspiring and awesome. I even tried playing it myself but ended up laying my body on the keyboard ;-;

I love how the look of the guy behind you goes from wow you are really good, to how are you doing this?

To me the looks of recognition of his fellow musicians on stage speak volumes of the performance 🙂

Really good video. You definitely have a lot of talent. You must have to practice a lot to get that level of proficiency. Really clean in time sounding piano to me. It must have felt amazing hearing the crowds response too.

beautiful 👍🙂💯

Found your channel last week and I couldn’t get anything done this weekend listening to your music. Can’t wait to see you perform live one day!

AWESOME!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! ❤️❤️

Beethoven would be crying tears of Joy if he ever heard this. Bravo!

Patiently waiting for your next concert venue to be a night club 😬

Why am I crying?!? Lol. Those people dancing who can NOT ignore the calling stirred in their bodies are my people! I con't understand how the humans sitting there experiencing this are not moved to come alive and FEEL it in their bodies requiring them to act on it!!!!

Love u man ur awesome KEEP GOING DON'T STOP

Did you really have your eyes closed during this performance? If so, HOW!!

Thank you! You are an inspiration to many!!!

This was incredible!!!!

You should make the podcast rounds to talk about your life and RU-vid career Also I love the new channel name

Thank you for the B'day present, this is just awesome.

Mesmerizing !!!

Thank you!!

I recently found your channel and I've been going through your work. This one brought me to tears at the beauty of your playing.

BRAVISSIMO 👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

God, Moonlight Sonata has been a piece I've loved since a child, and your mix of it is amazing. This was brilliant.
