A nice rendition of this immortal song !
The very slow tempo highlights the richness of this beautiful arrangement.
Thank you for sharing !

Re: Autumn leaves + Pianoteq + K2

Yes, beautiful - is it your own arrangement? It's somewhat in the spirit of Coleman Hawkins' version of Body and Soul, in which the original melody is hardly ever stated, but its presence is always felt in the background.

It's Eva Cassidy version arranged by Mercuzio (I don't know who he is, but he did VERY good job).

I like it very much. So beautiful. Best version I've ever heard of this song, although at the same time, because the melody is ”hidden”, it reminds me of something I have never heard before (as said composer A Nordheim once, too).
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for your warm words about music that I perform. I always try to do my best and Pianoteq in collaboration with my Kawai VPC1 gives me tools to do it (with a little help from my piano skills).
That MIDI track was of course recorded on Kawai MP11 (old times) and than edited with Pianoteq.
Best regards from Poland.

Very pleasant to listen to.
Bravo!

Kacper_ek,
I was expecting some descending chromatic note patterns depicting falling leaves.
Years back, I had sheet music that had this kind of arrangement (can't remember whose).
Nevertheless, this is a soft, background arrangement I've enjoyed listening to.
