The Piano : The Final

 

9.00pm C4 Catch up via ALL4

 

FINAL EPISODE

 

At last, Claudia Wincleman has released Mika and Lang Lang from their train station cupboard.

For this week's final, they step blinking into the light with one mission: get their handpicked amateur pianists ready  for a sold-out concert in the Royal Festival Hall after a few rehearsals.

 

Watching the judging duo work with their four proteges - including blind viral sensation Lucy and rapper Jay - is fascinating, and the final performances are remarkably heartwarming.

It’s only slightly soured by the fact that Mika and Lang Lang keep up their habit of talking over the music, even within the auditorium. Sign me up for a ticket in another row. Still, if you fancy watching a version without the running commentary you’re in luck.

More4 is broadcasting The Piano: the Concert at 10.15pm.

TICKLING THE IVORIES

The Piano, 9pm, Ch4

 

THE final stop for this brilliant talent search is Birmingham New Street station, where judges Lang Land and Mika (pictured with Claudia Winkleman) settle in to watch in secret as performers play the keys for a toe-tapping Jerry Lee Lewis tune and a surprising cover version of a Harry Styles hit. Next week, you’ll see the finalists on stage at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

Ohh so for the people who went 

I assume you just saw the fully concert and not Mika and Lang langs commentary as well 

 

That makes more sense as too why there are two shows now If ones with their comments in didn't understand why more4 was showing it after

Well, I was there and I don't understand how they're going to make two episodes next week. :dunno_grin:

I think the show on Channel 4 next week will show behind the scenes footage of the performers being coached by Mika and Lang Lang -- it will be much more than just the performances. It sounds like the program on More 4 will strictly be the concert as we saw it.

It seems to be that way and I really love how they will show the coaching beforehand!

Loved this episode again, the hour goes by so quickly!!
 

Can I just say that by far my favourite moment is when Mika walks up the lady (I don’t want to spoil too much, but I also can’t stop talking about it!!!) and introduces Lang Lang. His big smile in the background just enjoying the lady’s reaction. He is so humble.

Everything about tonight's episode was perfect! 

 

Even Mika's "perfect pitch" teeth! :biggrin2:

 

Love how Mika began explaining what the 'Shake' song was all about to Lang Lang, only Mika could listen to such a happy lively song and let his mind go straight to THAT meaning! :teehee:

(to the NC I think Mika!)

 

I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet but the I think the winner tonight was well deserved and once again the story really touched me.

I felt very dumb that I didn’t know what that meant, so I googled it, but fortunately it’s not an actual dental term :biggrin2:

Hang on a second, I missed the last one! Had to revisit! :lmfao:

 

I also can't wait for the next week's finale, the teasers looked so good ❤️

And as every week, there were so many talents, I especially liked Matthew, there was something so sweet about him and his piano play.
