Mr Magic Fingers, Maksim Mrvica
He leaves you awestruck often wondering if he’s for real Did his fingers really move that fast? Or was it just modern day camera trick?
Dear Readers, Maksim Mrvica is for REAL! His fingers really do move that fast and i can assure you even though the camera man might have been top class, there was no tricks involved.
Maksim Mrvica was born on 3rd May 1975. He started playing and taking up piano lessons at the age of nine. In the year 1991 he released his first album Gestures and in the year 2003, he released his second album the Piano Player. I have a total of 4 of his albums, The Piano Player, Variations Part I & II, The New World and Electrik.
The first song i heard off him was Flight of the Bumble-bee. He did an awesome remake of the original piece by Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov. He gave it an interesting twist. The thing i like most about his music is that he always seems to play a story and the listeners have the privilege of working out the story from his music. No right or wrong story just his music and you’re own perception.
Now it was hard to pick a piece that i like best because really he is one talented pianist. But my pick for readers out there to listen to, would be Nostradamus from his album the new world. I’m going to set you readers up with the link to his music video for Nostradamus below. Now if you thought you were not the classical music sort of person, i dare you to give him a go.
And if you are still wondering, its pronounced Makh-Seem Maravitsa!
