It's like turning a crystal in your hand and seeing it how it catches the light.

[CWBella]

He has such incredible control of dynamics among the voices. Breathtaking.

[fhhubbard]

Just can't stop watching it. The simultaneity of his absolute perfection and the realization that I am a musical idiot adds to complete the experience.

[benoitrenaud]

That continuous G was amazing considering everything else going on.

0:36 I love how he adds another voice above the melody but plays it so delicately to keep it from overshadowing the voice in the middle, such a simple but nice touch.

[cecilgalvao]

He plays with soul, as if he listens to this beautiful song every day since forever.

[georgio]

The Beatles keep being resurrected time and again. Beautiful interpretation.

[Transition]

What I love about Brad Mehldau is how very deliberate he is with not only every note, but also with the sustain pedal. You can hear every, single note.

As Keith Jarrett, this man is a gift, with such an inspiration for us.

Stressed out coming off a long and crowded Tube ride after a busy day in the city, closing myself in a dark bedroom, and putting this on. My heart rate is at least 20% slower and my anxiety and exhaustion are halved. Just gorgeous.

So many years have passed since I sat in a little club in Hollywood shoulder to shoulder with friends to hear Brad and his trio. I knew I was experiencing a once in a life moment. The elegance and eloquence of his voice is so deep and rich with feeling. Rilke in his fingertips.

Listening for the 30 or 40st time, cannot get enough of it. It´s like a blackbird in the yard, singing its beautifull chant

[lebomolete]

Oh Lord, Brad plays with his heart, smoothly and his emotions to our emotions....BRAVO!

[julienm]

This man is a gift and such an inspiration for us, pianists, as well as for everyone who like the beautiful music and sophisticated harmonies

[pascalk]

Fantastic. One of the greatest living artists meets one of the greatest songs ever written. Thank you Paul and Brad.

[johnbenjamins]

the chord substitution and harmonic playfulness is borderline perfect

[stephenjablonsky]

There's something magical about a song that works from beginning to end. What a source of joy and nourishment.

[phyllispetras]

When I was little, all my toys were under a Steinway Grand bass strings are a miracle!!!

[EricFontaineJazz]

Mehldau is a genius. Wonderful sound on this piano.

[LuisSilva-lyni]

One of the best musicians ever. And human being too. Loved his interview about Bach, very humble.
