What I like most about this video? The response of the audience. Hear that polite applause? Hard to remember there was once a time in this country where we expressed our appreciation with applause and the occasional cheer instead of screaming "WOOOOO! WOOOOO! WOOOO!" at performers like a bunch of brain-damaged alcoholics. When did that become acceptable? The coarsening of America continues.

Gah. This is great, just wish the commentators would've shut up and let us enjoy the incredible music. At least they kept it to a minimum.Very cool, thanks.

This is AMAZING!! The performance is wonderful, and the concept of 84 pianos performing simultaneously for the 84 Olympics...what can you say? Sensational.

i dunno! But i have a copy of RC's recording, and it sounds like THIS!

Doesn't it seem odd how word never got out, at least as far as I know, that what we've heard came from one performer? Do you know of others who knew this well-kept secret?

Richard Clayderman played the Rhapsody in Blue in two versions. One was the jazzy pop style, which I didn't like very much, and this version, which is Romantic jazz, and something I like a lot more

I've also heard that it was one man's piano playing that day, and that it had been pre-recorded. Would you elaborate more of what you know?
