Rock Meets Rachmaninoff (Piano & Rock Band) - The Piano Guys

"Rock Meets Rachmaninoff" is a high-energy fusion that blends the dramatic intensity of Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C-sharp minor" with the raw power of a modern rock band. Inspired by his 15-year-old son Spencer's new interest in guitar sweeps and double bass drumming, Jon Schmidt decided to bridge the gap between his classical roots and his son's rock world. Featuring Jon on piano alongside a full band, including electric guitar, bass, and drums, this performance proves that the heavy chords of Rachmaninoff were ready to rock long before the electric guitar was even invented.
