First impression, disappointed by this butchering of a transcendently beautiful piece of music. Then shocked to see Jon Batiste's name attached to it! Never has the KISS admonition been more apt! It takes some stones, I'll give Jon that, to think he could improve on the simple masterpiece Beethoven penned.
Well, that was unexpected.

Pointless noodling. This is a solid-gold, ocean-going PSD
Lovely performance but I hate the way it's been recorded with the sustain dampers thump thump thumping away. Thought it was a cat on the roof of my office to start with...
This made me laugh, and it's really good!
Well, that was unexpected.
Jonathan Michael Batiste is a god among us on this temporal plane.
Rejoice that we are worthy of his presence.

I highly recommend watching the documentary American Symphony about Jon on Netflix. It shows what a truly amazing person he is.
And here was me, thinking he was a mere side-kick to Stephen Colbert.
I stand corrected.

Wow, very nice!
I bet you don't have the guts to play "A Fifth of Beethoven" next though.

It's not often something stops me in my tracks to think Oh that's beautiful - but
This is Beautiful!.
Straight in at a 9 - probably nudging a 10 at some point!

Thank you, William, for spinning this disk on the airwaves for me to hear today.
IT totally caught my ears' attention, and I'm gonna go with an 8 rating so I can hear in "My Mix" - just in case you don't play it to death on the main mix. Lol

Respectfully, Bill, I do not think overplaying that will be a problem.
That is just ... wonderful.

This just made my week.

YES. I saw this online the other day. Love it. This is what RP was made for.
The middle section reminded me of George Winston's albums on Wyndham Hill.
Jon Batiste is a mad genius.

Yeah sure, But can he play Lucy jingle Bells. Schroeder did. Ha
My favourite classical melody. Quite a genious interpretation/cover.
Fascinating
Cool! A great way to jazz up the immortal classic! Undeniably Ludwig, but lots of Jon-style flourishes and frills...
Well now, that's slightly different!
Holy moly.

Yep, the same for me and I'm thankful for that education. An 8 bumped to 9 before it ended. Thank you William and Alanna!
