Christopher O’Riley is an American classical pianist and radio show host, who is also known for his renditions of songs by the band Radiohead, Nick Drake and most recently Elliott Smith, using only a piano. O’Riley has produced many recordings of classical music and claims his renditions have introduced the music of Radiohead to a classical audience as well as introducing classical music to a wider audience, as he sometimes performs both his usual repertoire and Radiohead songs at the same concert.
Christopher O’Riley is also the host of the NPR Radio show ‘From the Top’ which features young classical musicians from all over the country. The show is to soon make its television debut on WTTW.

If there's one thing I hate, it's how many conventional classical musicians don't even give other music a chance, but ESPECIALLY the other way around. Aghh!! Radiohead is one of my favorite bands and has been for a while. But I've been playing classical piano all my life as well. Both rule. Christopher rules at what he's doing. I wish I was him.

I personally like it most when he departs the most from the original ("How I Made My Millions," "Motion Picture Soundtrack," "Thinking About You").

Saw Christopher at Columbia University a while back, his stuff is really mind-blowing. Paranoid Android and There There are incredible. I also love his versions of Street Spirit and You.
