Looking For Video
on: August 04, 2014, 10:03:56 PM
Hi, looking for a video that I thought I got through a pianostreet page that was a link to a youtube video of a French pianist (or at least a pianist with a french sounding name) that was playing the complete Op.67 Songs Without Words by Mendelssohn. Although the video's title used the French--Romances sans paroles.

For some damn reason I can't seem to find it with any amount of searching and it is ridiculously frustrating. It's possible it wasn't from a pianostreet page although that is what I recall. I'm hoping that someone will know what I'm talking about. It was a high quality video (good sound, different angles) and looked to be a recent recital. Possible shot in a church/cathedral type space.
 
I stupidly didn't write the pianists name down (it wasn't a big name) and now can't remember so any help would be tremendously appreciated. THANKS!

Actually just found it.

Somewhat embarrassed for such a long post.

Oh well, here is the video I was looking for some dude named Bruno Robillard.

Plays quite well to my ears,

Yes, he plays beautifully. When he walks on the stage he looks rather like Stephen Hough.
