This is about my 50th time watching this. I have a million more to go.....

The hands of a 21 years old man, the genius of music. So sadly missed across the world. Respect to France for such a sad loss ❤

By switching styles, he’s saying that love and loss are universal :)

For the past several years, this is my most watched video on KZread. It always brings joy to my ears and puts a smile on my face. I had the pleasure of seeing Michel in concert about 4-5 years ago, front row, center seating - what a privilege it was. Beautiful music, beautiful mind - I will miss him.

The most badass jazz performance ever

My god. I used to play tennis next to this genius in the Forest Hills at Porte de la Chapelle club in Paris late at night. He would play tennis after recording in a studio near by, but even though I knew who he was, didn’t ever talk to him since I didn’t want to bug him during his leisure time. Love all his music and he has inspired some of my own piano music themes. Love the way his jazz improvising still allows the average listener to follow what he is doing (not too abstract as some jazz improvising is).

We love how Legrand calls out all these different styles, traditional, swing, bebop, Bossanova, tango, 'New Orleans', and the band just goes right with him. Excellent concert, thank you for posting this!! Happy Jazz Day 2014.

The Man, French music composer Michel Legrand is a genius. I will never tire of his music, from all of his jazz compositions to the big movie themes. Merci, merci, merci maestro!!!

Even though it is 2021, I am so thrilled by Michel Legrand's skill.

So beuatuful

Who else could play a song in every single key, and play it to perfection? Michel Legrand wrote one of the most beautiful songs, and performs it like only a master can, and in nearly every musical genre.

WOW, WOW, WOW...welch ein musikalisches Talent, unglaublich...

La musique devrait toujours être cela… Du jeu ! Comme entre mômes. Superbe version ! On part avec du post-romantique pour passer du bee-bop vers une valse vertigineusement jazzy… Le thème s'y prête! Puis au latin-mambo, du tango au new-orléans, pour finir à la russe! Merci monsieur Legrand. Pour votre science de la mélodie, du rythme, du tempo, de l'improvisation… Et quelle main droite, bon dieu !!! Et quelle oreille ! Vous nous manquerez, oh oui !!!

Michel Legrand...le plus grand des plus grands !!!... Quel talent pour enchaîner de telles variations mélodiques , harmoniques et rythmiques !!!...Quelle sensibilité musicale et quel talent!!! ...waouhhh!!!... EPOUSTOUFLANT !!!.... et ...quelle tristesse , très grande tristesse à l'annonce de sa mort!!!,..Il formait un si beau couple avec Macha Méril...comme elle doit être malheureuse...elle qui l'aimait tant !!!... Permettez-moi , madame , de partager votre douleur ... Longue vie à vous , dans le bonheur de vos souvenirs !!!... Vous avez eu cette grande chance de partager son quotidien !!! ...Michel Legrand ... Quel ARTISTE FABULEUX!!!

ミッシェルルグランは、ピアノの魔術師のようだ！素晴らしい演技 素晴らしい曲 わたしは、子供の頃からこの曲を聴きながら、歌うのが好きだった。ありがとうございます。ルグランに幸あれ！

Мишель Легранд не тлько один из самых любимых и запоминающихся композиторов 20 столетия, но и яркий исполнитель и импровизатор. Я восхищаюсь его талантами!

Rewelacja, brawo mistrzu najlepszej muzyki filmowej.!Dziękuję za emocje przy słuchaniu.

Quite amazing; I did not realize he played so incredibly well.

I was just a little girl when this movie came out and the story brought me to tears...... The music was just so beautiful and the story so sad. Went well together...... Still love the movie, however the story is as old as the world ofcourse.
