Searching for the Perfect Version of a Song

Connecting with your children like that is a better birthday gift than any object you could possibly receive.

Happy HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Thank you for all your gifts to all of us. Be well. Cheers!

It is passion not obsession. Obsessions cause harm. You are genuinely passionate about music of all genres, that is a gift. All the best on your 62nd Bday!

You're a very fortunate man in a world of hurt. Finding and living one's passion is bliss. Happy birthday Mr. Beato.

Man this was one of the best simple videos you've made! It's so truthful and honest and it presents the short story of driving your daughter to school and interacting with her in a beautiful simple way. This video is well ballanced and it comes full circle in the end. It could easily be a standalone short film. We as viewers also interact by listening closely to every different interpretation and our curiousity makes it even better. Happy birthday Rick and thank you!

I get you. My grandfather had this 60's record of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. I'm 57 so when I was in my late 20's, early 30's I tried to get it as a CD. Name whoever you want from Itzhak to Joshua and anyone in between. Didn't sound as good as that 60's version by Ruggiero Ricci. It was never found or re-edited as a CD in the 90's (don't know about now). I spent, really, months searching for it the in the late 2000's, until I found a blog from a form classical musician from a serious Philarmonic/Symphonic orchestra. He would post about... music! And he posted a blog about that recording.Not for free download... But he transfered that very recording into digital. "You want it? Tell me why..." I sent him a message and practically describred him my granpa's album cover. Told him how much that record meant to me and how, literally, I wore it out. Two months later, he sent me the download. I coul hear the needle on the vynil.. Yes, it's about everyone's ear.... I guess. Greetings, from Guadalajara, Mx Ed: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Rick Beato about to go into his conducting era at 62, love to see it!

Wow Happy Birthday Rick! Your little girl is so lucky to have a father like you. Amazing and bloody cool human being that you are!

Sharing one’s musical passion with a loved one during a daily routine, that’s perfect. Life isn’t always about grandiose moments but the quiet observation of brief everyday intimate moments. Happy birthday Rick and many more to come.

Congratulations, Rick! I'm 74, if I were 12 I'd like to have you as my father. Your role as a role model in cultural matters is outstanding. Especially the way you reconcile classical and modern music. 62 out of 62 is funny! 🙂

Happy Birthday Rick! We are your people! Everyone on this video has done exactly what you did, and I understood every step you took. And as an older dad of a daughter (and son), I appreciate these moments, and I'm glad you shared yours. Thankyou! Cheers!

Happy birthday Rick! Thank you for sharing your passion for music with us, and what a beautiful way to do it through one snippet of your daily routine with your daughter. Very touching.

Happy Birthday Rick! You such a big inspiration dude 🎉

Happy Birthday Rick you look great for your age many more years to celebrate

Happy Birthday Maestro and thank you for all of the joy of music you share with us. Have a great year!

And that is why music exists to connect us all with an abstract emotional language.

I really know nothing about the bones, sinews, organs and tissues of music so I cannot judge what you say. But your respect for the artists and creators of music blasts out at full volume. That is an admirable virtue and it keeps me coming back to see more of it. Thank you.

Happy birthday, Rick!!! You are gift to us!!

Happy Birthday Rick! Thank you so much for the content and the soul that you use at this channel!

It's the small things in life that make life great. And to share it with others makes life beautiful. Happy birthday!
