Nice message.

Awesome!! Loved all of this , your piano playing is something to be proud of, and will be part of my life from now on! Thank you with the most gratitude and blessings I can send.🙏🙏🎶

A nice experience to see and employ in my days thoughts

Congratulations! I am so happy for you and your playing is beautiful. I, too, am on a similar journey :-)

Thank you, it is beautifully played.

I can completely relate to this story. It reminds me of how passionate I once was about dance. And how my movement touched people in a special way. It was healing for me too. Sometimes I really miss dance. Also, your music is so beautiful. I’m so glad you listened to your heart’s call. Thank you for sharing this 🙏.

Thank you, thank you, Thank you!!! Namaste.

Omgosh your music is amazing!! I love 💕 classical music but not piano music as much (Chopin). Yours is very different in that it really moved me. I had a little cry during this talk because I had abandoned my art making probably for the same reason that woman had. But it’s past, my studio is being re-claimed and my drawing table is in there beckoning me. I’m 63- and haven’t done my art since 1994. It’s time. Past time.
Thank you Tudor for this wonderful podcast. I will be buying your new album as well. Where can I buy and download it?
Thank you again,
Namaste 🙏🏼 💝🎵🎶🐾🌺🌸🏁🎹🎼

I was raised with musicians in my life. My uncle, father, and grandfather would get together and have jam sessions and we would eat. Music calms me down. I was learning the keyboard and was getting good.

Tudor ! You took me back to the beautiful and joyful time of my childhood, when I first stepped into the wonder world of listening and playing music ... I’m here, deeply touched moved and inspired by your story with tears in my eyes, feeling blessed for being in LOVE with music ...
“The aim and final end of all music should be non other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul”
~Johan Sebastian Bach.
... and today with your story and music, you took me to the space of that “final end of all music” to the glory of my heaven inside. Thank you 🙏🏼💚

Thank you! I’ve been hovering around the joy of returning to my piano for several months. As I was listening to you, covered in chills with tears in my eyes, I realized for certain that it’s time for me to go “home” again.

I listened twice. Something beautiful happened. As a kid I thaught myself to play at our organ . My parents gave my a beautiful keyboard when I lived on my own. I stimulate our three children to play music and our house is full of instruments. And then I heart your words: you are never too old. And I felt the magic and I felt what I have to do. Thank you so much. Esther.

Thank You for sharing!!!. Very inspairing for me!!!.

Your story and journey is so inspiring to me! Especially as a classical pianist myself, you can not believe how easily I forget the healing power my music playing and improvising has (not only for me but for the people around me as well...) Thank you for your story, thank you for your music and your healing! Cant

I loved this, Tudor. Thank you for sharing.

Very enlightening. Enjoyed the music history that had much effect on your creativity.
