Released on May 31st, 2024; Gael Rakotondrabe released his own version of Radioheads song "Reckoner", but in a piano version! "Gael offers a captivating and poignant rendition of Radiohead's beloved 2007 track. His personal connection to "Reckoner" is extremely evident in the care and respect with which he approaches the piece, infusing it with a sense of authenticity and heartfelt emotion. Rakotondrabe's arrangement meticulously captures the melodic and harmonic content of the original song. The haunting main melody, originally delivered by Yorke's falsetto, is played with delicate phrasing on the piano, preserving its emotive quality. The harmonic progressions are faithfully recreated, providing a rich backdrop that supports the melody and enhances the song's emotional depth" - Sabrina Amoriello; Editor in Chief of The Concert Chronicles.
Throughout the song you can truly sense the love Gael has for Radioheads track and how well he performed this song on piano. We need more piano versions of well known songs because piano captures the beauty of each song in a different aspect.
