Dudley Moore, pianist?

I was watching the Classic Arts channel (because it's a quarter to two, and there's nothing to do) and I see this video of two pianists and a cello..ist (?) playing The Swan, and one of the pianists looked like Dudley Moore. So I looked it up and then I found the vid on youtube. And a bunch more too.

I didn't know this about him.

 

Quirky little guy, but very talented and funny as all get out. Loved him in "Arthur I and II". I was aware that he was a concert quality pianist and when he played the piano in his movies, the sound bites were his, not someone else's. The fellow on the cello is also doing a very decent job. Beautiful sonata.

That's right, I forgot he played piano in some of his movies. I probably thought it was fake. I liked him in "10" and the Arthur movies were a riot.
 

I knew he was a top class pianist, but of course we see a lot more of him over here.

Another "often forgotten " pianist is Nat King Cole, to me one of the finest jazz pianists of his generation.

Not nearly enough of his stuff still available.
 
Wasn't he the guy in the movie Ten that chased Bo Derek and finally caught her with disastrous results? It was a great comedy about how are sexual fantasies turn out when they become real...

Yes, and it could have been a movie about my brother. He's Dudley Moore only taller, and his fantasy girl was a nut-job. (was, not gave)
