The beloved show, The Piano, has returned for its second season, and it's already capturing the hearts of viewers. Channel 4 viewers were once again left feeling "broken" by the heartwrenching story of a couple featured on the show. Hosted by the wonderful Claudia Winkleman, this music competition series follows judges Mika and Lang Lang as they search for the most talented amateur pianists in the UK.
Last season, The Piano was a huge success, with its emotional finale leaving viewers in tears. The winner, 13-year-old Lucy, who is blind, wowed audiences with her incredible talent. And now, the show has returned, with its first episode featuring Duncan, an 80-year-old man with dementia, and his wife Fran. Their love story deeply moved viewers as they witnessed how music has helped Duncan communicate his love for Fran despite his struggles with the disease.
During the episode, Duncan performed a composition he wrote for his wife at Manchester Piccadilly station, where the performances were being held. His touching tribute left viewers in tears once again. Many took to social media to express their emotions, with some declaring they were "proper snot crying" and others admitting they were "absolutely gone" after watching Duncan and Fran's relationship.
But they weren't the only pianists to capture the hearts of the judges and audience. Nine-year-old Ethan, who used piano-playing to express his emotions, performed a piece he played at his late uncle's funeral. And boxer Ellis and DJ Salome also shared their talents with Claudia, Mika, and Lang Lang, with Salome opening up about her struggles with obtaining UK citizenship after moving from Georgia.
As the show began, viewers were already anticipating an emotional rollercoaster, with many admitting they were prepared for a good cry. And true to form, The Piano did not disappoint. John Barry shared, "Been waiting for this. I know I'm going to cry...I always cry #ThePiano." And Jane Sarah Matthews expressed, "Nothing gives me goosebumps like #ThePiano The perfect Sunday night television."
The show is only just beginning, and we can't wait to see what other talented pianists will grace the stage and capture our hearts.
