I'm so honoured that my backing track even made it into your Concert! That's a very Transcendent performance, I'm very happy for you!

As someone who knows nothing about classical music, its history, its norms, its context, etc., this simply sounded awesome and made me feel awesome. Isn’t that ultimately what counts?

5:44 thank you to the guy who stood up. That would have been me if I was there. You totally and completely deserved a standing ovation.

I LOVE when musical styles collide. Its music. Its meant to move you. Just because its traditionally played one way does not mean it must always be played that way. This was soo good. Im 52 and I freakin loved it.

This was so beautiful. It made me miss my Mother badly. She was a concert pianist and passed Nov 16, 2021 at 88.

As a classically trained musician myself, it even took me a while to realize what I'm going to say: We tend to think of classical music as traditional and old. When Beethoven was writing this, though, it wasn't old, and it wasn't traditional. When classical composers were writing their music, it was contemporary. Yes, the stuff that's survived was certainly more intellectual than Justin Bieber, but it was still contemporary. They were experimenting with new chords, harmonies, and sounds. Haydn's "Symphony No. 94 - 'Surprise'" was specifically written to scare the crap out of listeners. Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"used actual cannons as part of the percussive sounds. So, no. This isn't sacrilegious at all. If Beethoven were alive today, and heard this, I think he'd think it was pretty cool.

I'm surprised there wasn't a standing ovation after that performance. You definitely deserved one. That was absolutely amazing and inspiring. 🔥

I was a performing pianist and vocalist before the pandemic…walked away from all of it and reinvented myself. I haven’t missed music at all which has had me so curious…this performance was the first musical excitement I have felt in years. I have played the entire sonata multiple times and I think both Ludwig and Frederic would celebrate what you have done here.

I canNOT believe this didn't get a standing O! That was phenomenal. The mashup was seamless and invigorating. I would have been standing AND whistling had I been there in person, and I'm a 70+ y/o great grandma!

I feel like you need to hear this in the audience with headphones and bass to feel the vibrations in your soul! So good!

In all seriousness, Beethoven wanted people to innovate on his pieces. This is absolutely amazing! I love it, and I truly believe Beethoven would’ve loved it too!

That was amazing! It's the first time I ever heard a remix done with a classical piece. I think it's about time in this modern era to have classical remixes. Thank you

"And that was the guy who made me fall in love with classical music... ❤️"

How incredibly moving. I’m a pianist and this performance brought a happy lump to my throat. I may have to do more experimenting with the classics. Thank you for the inspiration.

help this is so good it gives me back the passion i have for my musical instrument

Beethoven was one of the rock musicians of his day. He'd totally approve.

First of all, Thank You for the beauty you bring into this world and sharing it here; a real treasure. I must say, Moonlight Sonata is by far my favorite musical piece/song of all time and I am an incredibly loyal man. That being said, I absolutely loved the exquisite classical musical dmt trip you laid before us!!! Thank you for pushing musical boundaries and finding gems like this for us all!

Absolutely beautiful! This musician has not only worked incredibly hard to become an artist but clearly plays with his heart and soul. You can feel his music head to toe. 💕

Brilliant. Classical with a 21st century addition without losing any originality of it's composer. I'm always moved with this Piece of Beethovens. Being more of Chopin lover with his Polonaises, B Flats, Concerto's, Songs, etc. Thank You young man for a Magnificent performance. 👏💐

It's a masterpiece... Love the flow and the theme was recognizable through the entire performance. Wish I was in the audience.

I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it.

It's both sacrilegious and spectacular. Amazing skill and technique.

How in the hell could something so beautiful be sacrilegious? That was amazing!

Man i would have been up OUT OF MY SEAT if I was in that crowd, the adrenaline while listening to that was insane

This was a brilliant performance! Wow! This was such a pleasure to watch and you totally deserved a standing ovation. Keep it up… I can’t wait to attend one of your concerts!

man, that is just a phenomenal performance, i genuinely appreciate this line of work to bring the worlds of electronic and classical together :D

You really deepened the feeling this song has always given me since my childhood. I appreciate what you’ve done so much.

It was pretty common in the time of Mozart and Beethoven to improvise on other composers themes and take those themes places musically that the composer never would. Of course it would have been awesome back in Beethoven's day to see him perform and take a popular Mozart theme and hear Beethoven take it musically improvisational my somewhere Mozart never could have imagined.It would have been cool to hear Beethoven play anything,but hearing his interpretation on a popular theme written by another famous composer would have been great as well like The Barber of Seville by Rossini for instance.

That was so fu**ing fresh! I have been a professional vocalist and musician since 1966...and this moved me to tears. BRAVO! ...and why isn't that entire audience on their feet?!

Your version of this masterpiece made me cry when I was driving. The energy,mightiness and build up was just to much emotions for me. Sure some songs have moved me. But never made me cry and laugh at the same time. Just a fucking Epic masterpiece you have made. So many more notes to emhance rhis song. Much love from Sweden.

It's nice to see someone actually collaborate both old style and modern in one and actually sound great

A beautiful and unique twist on a classical piece. You can really hear all the love and passion for music within it. Also extremely talented.

Moonlight Sonata like we've never heard it before! Breathtaking! This guy's fingers are magical

I can probably count the number of times I've commented on a youtube video on one hand. This arrangement is inspired, transformative, and awe inspiring.

This was played so masterfully. When he turned the bass on I literally had chills.

That was a very interesting twist on the music. You asked if people thought it was sacrilegious or spectacular, I think it is a mix of both. To the classical music purists they would think the first, but to other people who appreciate classical music and can see outside the box, it was very innovative to incorporate a different style and make it work seamlessly.

Steinway never would have dreamed that their wonderful pianos would ever be so versatile.

Oh wow. The way the music built up with such POWER. It made me emotional to hear this

Fantastic! Loved it! Would love to see this gentleman perform in person!

Just heard/saw this for the first time today. BRILLIANT!! Absolutely BRILLIANT!! I am blown away!!

This is simply *IMPROVISATION* something that pianist from around the time of Beethoven did on a regular basis. You get 2 of the best pianist in a room and see who outdoes the other. The best man/woman wins! *NOTHING TO BE SHOCKED* It's been done for centuries!

That was spectacular!! Cheers mate! Bravo!👏👏

Uncontrollably fabulous. Devastatingly beautiful and new. Remarkable to say the least. Your talent your vision your imagination whew

I can't understand how anyone could play like this. He is simply amazing.

Genius! I have always admired those that can keep so much music in their head and play without music in front of them. Likewise, those who can sing without words or music......

Simply the greatest version I’ve ever heard. Thank you for sharing!!!🥰🥰🥰

That was absolutely epic. I wish I could've been there. I love classical piano, and I love good dubstep. Now I'm going to put in headphones and listen again.

Doesn't matter if its sacrilegious or spectacular. You made a choice and you performed your heart out. And that's what makes an artist. And as an audience member that's what I appreciate.

Absolument magnifique. Les mots me manquent pour décrire l'émotion que je ressens devant tant de talent.

always a treat to see someone so talented with a piano

I'm stuck! My heart beats like a drum and I can't stop the tears running... Genial, ergreifend und schlichtweg atemberaubend

Beautiful. I have loved Moonlight Sonata since I was a kid in the 50s. I was a weird kid who loved classical music. Your rendition was awesome. 🤗🤗🤗❤

What a concert! I can only imagine how this must have sound live. The speakers of my tv couldn't render the beautiful sounds of these different instruments not anywhere near. So many people attended the concert, who didn't even know Lionel before! And i was sitting here in my room wishing, that i could see this show from close up.😅 This new version of the moonlight sonata is lit!❤‍🔥The piece you played for Andreas was really good too. Whats the name of this piece? Last time Saudade really reflected the pain due to his loss. This time this piece just showed pure gratefulness. 😊I hope everyone enjoyed the concert and the meet and greet afterwards. I totaly would have bought some merch in order to support the people in need too!

I think they absolutely would approve of this! Wonderful interpretation! Music is organic and lives.

I think it’s beautiful, adds new depth to a masterpiece created centuries ago

just so you know that is always been one of my favorite songs of all time I have never gotten so emotional over the way did you play this you are awesome actually Beyond awesome thank you

I love classical music but this version is amazing!

It’s not about impressing everyone, it’s about trying something new and different. You are paving the way for others to do the same, that would have otherwise been more reluctant. You’re also helping classical music be heard by a bigger audience, well done.

Absolutely BRILLIANT! And real commitment. To have to play in the tempo of the track.

I saw the genius at work, it was in the playing and composition. It did'nt need the intrusive beat to give it color. Linking that Chopin with the presto fused in an epic theme was mind blowing. It pushed a lot of energy through my sleepy classical circuits and woke up new ones.

I dont comment much on ESvid, but thank you, the play style, and the movement between styles was absolutely wonderful

Incredibly innovated version of these great pieces and a standing ovation should have happened, I just wish for future uploads that you can wait until the end of the piece for your comments and chat box highlights. (sorry but it was distracting to the music/artists performance) Thank you for sharing this amazing moment and hope to find more from you in the future.

In all seriousness, Beethoven wanted people to innovate on his pieces. This is absolutely amazing! I love it, and I truly believe Beethoven would’ve loved it too!

Shout out to the Livestream chat who were able to hype this man when the audience had to be polite

WOW. CONGRATULATIONS! That was PHENOMENAL! ❤

Moonlight Sonata holds a special place in my heart. It was one of the only songs I really listened to as a kid, because it was used as the intro to Thexder, my favorite game (1980s).

AMAZING!! Gave me goosebumps and made me cry. Absolutely love it!!! Thx for sharing!!

As a former National Piano Guild member I played so many of the great classical pieces and although also a fan of dubstep, I never considered merging the two. MAGNIFICENT! You Sir, are a genius and I salute you both for your courage to take music to a new level and the skill you displayed in your performance! Bravo! I hope you continue to expand the bounds of music in this manner.

Goosebumps at every drop! LOVE IT!!

Phenomenal, spectacular, amazing! Still in shock---Incredible!

I always loved Moonlight Sonata but this takes it another step better. Thank you!

HE ABSOLUTELY TORE IT UP BEYOND PERFECTIONIST BIG TIME! GRADE A++++💖🥰🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏❤💖🥰💚😁💓👼🏾

5:44 I think this moment sums up the performance. One man stands to give you a standing ovation, another leaves quickly. You know what they say about art? ‘Make them feel SOMETHING. Whether they like it not at least they felt an emotion’. Bravo

Oh my god what I just listened... You guys take an already perfect piece to a whole new level. That's incredible.

Classical music is the only musical genre that works with every other genre and makes them perfect. That's why classical music is universal, and the best.

It was beautiful and should be heard all around the world because you brought classical music into the new age with the mashup! Love it!

I think the original composers would be honored by your renewal of their original vision. They were on the cutting edge of music for their time, and now here you are doing your best interpretation of being on the cutting edge of music and yet still paying homage to the greats. Loved it my man.

In Beethoven's time, it was common to improvise and make variations and to impress like this, so it is quite possible Beetoven(who was an excellent improviser) did something similar himself in concert or just for fun at home. Excellent performance.

There was nothing sacrilegious about that music man. It was punk rock extream, straight Jazz. Kudos and good job. ! Much Love - NC 🇺🇸

No words... Epic. Just epic. Leave me a message when doing a tour through germany. I'd love to feel that sound live. Thank you for such emotional sounds, for being able to be part of your passion.

What would make this just slightly more epic is a very lightly sounding chorus every time the sound builds and it switching off the piano to a chorus in key moments.

I really want to watch a dance specifically choreographed to this piece. Be freaking amazing. Great job bringing new life to this masterpiece. 🙌

This was an already insane mix, but I can only imagine how LIT that had been in the Kennedy Center! I nearly cried when the dubstep track started kicking in 😭👏

Absolutely incredible talent spectacular performance most gifted pianist on the planet 👏

This was so powerful, I actually cried at this, it was that emotional, this is on my favorite songs list 😁😀👍

Wow! That was awesome! Was listening with a big smile and tears in my eyes! Exactly what music is all about ; you moved me :-)

I loved it! It encapsulated the energy and spirit of Moonlight Sonata and then embellished the piece with a fully artistic interpretation and arrangement. Bravo sir continue on!

This music is so inspiring and full of life energy! Thank you so much for sharing!

Having fun with established classical pieces must be very rewarding. Taking all the techniques you have learnt and shaking it up keeps music interesting.

Why would Mozart and Beethoven not approve? this sort of performance breathes so much life into music and this is exactly what composers want: life.

So beautiful. Thank you for this experience of hearing you play.

I'm older (70+) and the sonata is my all time favorite piece of music. But I have to say I really loved the treatment of this piece. It rocked, it brought tears and was just absolutely marvelous!! Thank you.

How was that foolish audience not giving a standing ovation for that?! Absolutely amazing work. Great job

That was so epically emotional that I started crying 😭 … that doesn’t happen often

This is so cool. I love the arrangement.

All I can say is FABULOUS. Thank you. I am overwhelmed with emotion that I've not felt for a very long time.

Wow! I'm a pro orchestra musician of 25 years and I am LOOOOOVING this!! Way to go!! I actually think Beethoven might actually approve if he knew what 21st Century technology can do for music. Heck, if he lived now, he could well have written the first Dubstep Sonata! Keep going and all the best to you!

This original piece is already so moving, but, this gave me waves of chills.

Have to wonder how many people got introduced to something they thought they would hate that day, and walked away loving every second of it :D NICELY DONE!!!!!!
