Hayato Sumino’s moment of phone duet genius | Classic FM

The piano world’s new star proves his musical creativity in a genius response to a mobile phone, during an intimate Gershwin solo.

Hayato Sumino, who also goes by the name Cateen, was playing Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and conductor Ben Palmer, when the moment of interruption and inspiration occurred.

“It’s in a musician’s nature to instinctively react to the sounds that they hear around them – even when making their Classic FM Live/Royal Albert Hall debut,” Hayato said afterwards.

So amazing of the pianist to improvise so quickly - but also, imagine having your phone on ring at a performance like this... Like dude. Dude!!! Silence your phone!!!

[oboemadness]

Instead of frustration and anger, he chose to make it beautiful. What a response to an obstacle.

[StraveTube]

This feels especially appropriate during Rhapsody in Blue, since Gershwin wrote it while drawing inspiration from the sounds of the city - the rattling of a train car, etc.

Love the little look the violinist gives him when he responds to the phone. Love it!

Came for the duet, stayed for the Music.

[TJtheBee]

That was so natural I didn’t even realize when the improv kicked in!

[lakep]

This performance is RIDICULOUSLY impressive. I’m floored.

[GracielaLeira]

Musically, a genius. Classy and smart when dealing with an unpleasant situation.

[musicandash]

Happened twice! 0:10 & 0:45 The second time, Cateen again naturally incorporated into the music ! I loved the violinists were smiling charmingly !

[thegood]

As a classically trained pianist of 45 years...this was a GREAT response!

[Craze]

I'm not a classical music person and have no idea about this world in terms of what's original and what's improved in this video, but I'm floored by how beautiful the music was and how skilled this pianist is. I'm glad this was my first exposure to this realm of music!

He demonstrated how professionals strive to make their artifact better (if not perfect ) even when the surrounding situation is not ideal.

Respect to the artist. He is giving a show to everyone who came. On the other side the dude with the phone, you had two jobs, sit and and turn off your phone. If you are a doctor, put it at least on vibration. How hard can it be, you also managed to dress yourself, drive to the concert and find your seat.

[ruchan]

I thought it was once, but it was twice. Bravo, Cateen.

[espressoespresso]

This is the moment that revealed extraordinary musical talent of Hayato Sumino Cateen. He is music itself transcending various genre of music.

[DanteCarlsonCello]

I was listening to a string quartet perform in a studio class, and right as they ended on a big C major chord a random phone in the room pinged perfectly in tune and everybody laughed

This a wonderful performance by the way!

[terrasai]

It’s always breathtaking to me how amazing humans can be.

[kaylinlugo]

My face as it got even more and more impressive: 😯 😦 😧 😲

This man is a genius.

[juliusyee]

Hayato has always been on another level, gonna miss him making Amazing Game OST covers

[whitsfiryellnogobyye]
