Castlevania - Lament of Innocence "Leon's Theme" (Piano Cover)

[@LaurenceManningPianiste]

My Castlevania album is out 😃🎉!! To listen / buy (digital, CD + Vinyl): materia.to/PianoCastlevania

[@DeathInSpace]

That's pretty crazy I just looked up this song tonight for the first time in 20 years

[@chrisbye921]

Was this on ps 2 ?

[@JUYAN16]

I always loved Leon's theme. It sounds like desperate race to save someone.

[@LaurenceManningPianiste]

Yes ❤️ tragically beautiful ☺️

[@frostyflame0774]

Its oddly the opposite but it sounds so good in both contexts ❤

[@rahadianaryo5979]

@@frostyflame0774 In fact, that Leon Belmont's theme 🎵 is just sounds like a *desperate race to save someone's soul* right then, Frosty Flame... (Like how *both Leon Belmont and Matthias Cronqvist's* really did...)

[@weetabixharry]

@@frostyflame0774 I'm curious what that means. Racing to kill someone? Waiting patiently for someone to die? Or waiting patiently for someone to be saved?

[@frostyflame0774]

@@weetabixharry well the person he was trying to save ended up having to die at his own hands, so this song is when he’s on his way to kill the antagonist, but with a lot of grief and pain.

[@Kitsunebyanothername]

This song works so well on piano. Castlevania has some of the best music in video game history!

[@LaurenceManningPianiste]

Thank you 😃!

Lament of innocence has the best ost of all Castlevania franchise

[@sapphirejade5029]

Totally agree! Got to play the game about over 4 years ago and NEVER regretted playing it. The game has become a personal birthday and Halloween tradition. It's so well done and should be given more love or even given a remaster/remake. I can't wait to do it again next year.

[@OMGmyFACE]

Hear, hear! Not enough people put love on Lament of Innocence. Great game, greater soundtrack.

This video has been stuck in my head for days, playing as I walk around, work, go to bed... So here I am again to satiate my magnetism to this performance which has gripped my existence for now.

[@catfacepoetry3211]

The last stage theme, which Leon takes on Mathias Conquest. (I think) This theme is packed full of fighter spirit, unlike other iconic songs in the franchise. The game tells the story on the becoming of Lord Dracula before the Lord of Shadow remake. Great rendition!

[@LaurenceManningPianiste]

Thank you 😊

[@peacockfilletsteak]

One of my favorite tracks from the whole series. I love your rendition!

[@LaurenceManningPianiste]

[@toddnaevestad3322]

If I wasn't so acutely aware of how much timed, dedication, hard work, and passion it takes to get this good, I would say it's unfair that one person could be so talented. But since I know better, I just have to sit back in awe.

Hello Mrs Manning, First I would like to say, you are absolutely phenomenal! I'm a huge CastleVania fan, currently hosting a CV fandom event on Discord, and posting the music of CV and song covers is a big part of the event. I just discovered your music this morning and I'm completely blown away with your arrangements and performance! Thank you for these amazing covers. This one in particular really astounds me... Lament Of Innocence is one of my favorite CastleVania games, and Leon Belmont's Theme is a masterpiece of music. Your arrangement and performances is breathtaking tribute to the series, and to composer Michiru Yamane Truly Outstanding musicianship here all around!

[@LaurenceManningPianiste]

Wow thank you very much 😊!!

It’s unbelievable how beautiful this peace is I didn’t heard one wrong note the left hand it was my favorite PlayStation 2 game I heard it was a low budget production but this peace is worth for me more than 60.000.00€ really incredible you mastered the piano really I heard a lot of classical music but how u play this how u set everything up with the candles it’s sad for me to see that you have only 25.000 subscribers I hope you really will get the public attention that you deserve I play by my self also the piano and this from you made me really want to learn sheet music cause I only learned from syntesia and tutorials I see you playing this on stage infront of millions you’re own piano show in a big theater 🎭 this is just pure art I been making electronic music for maybe 13 years but what I’m preaching always to the young kids is to master a instrument and use the daw for recording really beautiful

Always loved this piece in most fan randitions. This seems to be the only version that anyone on a piano tried with that high key fluttering. So excellent work there.

[@LaurenceManningPianiste]

V Guyver Thank you 😊!

[@systemafunk]

"This seems to be the only version that anyone on a piano tried with that high key fluttering." Actually, that's kind of sad. Trills like that, including double trills are not uncommon in classical piano literature like Mozart and Beethoven. It should be possible for a skilled pianist with classical training.

[@billmcyrus]

@@systemafunk Definitely, and that's why this version is an intellectual achievement and perfectly illustrates why music is an intellectual exercise and a category of intelligence of its own.
