Thank you for the explanation about the wine glasses and mandolin usage in the orchestra, I can't believe the wine glasses are considered percussion! And I still love the shirt 🔥 - The guy who said "the redneck in me wants to call it a mandolin"

[@diazpramudita5165]

😂 Damn I laughed at that reaction part.

[@Aona_Music]

Tuned wine glasses are a beautiful thing, and depending on the density of the contents you can also produce different tonalities In a similar case, the glass harmonica works in the same way but based off of pressure and friction applied onto bowls of different sizes, with smaller bowls producing higher pitches. The instrument is also extremely easy to break, due to resonating pitches shattering the glass, which is also ludicrously expensive to repair. It's a whole other level of expertise and precision. They're also called Hydrocrystalaphones, which I think is really pretty

Incredible! It's such an honor to have you explain the hard work that goes into such a performance.

[@maxhohn5570]

THEIR RECORDINGS ARE SIGHT READ?!?! That's insane! I can't imagine being so masterful in my instrument to feel comfortable having some of my first experiences with a new piece of music to be recorded and used all over the world in a popular video game. It's truly incredible and gives me so much more respect than I already had for these professional musicians.

[@planetary-rendez-vous]

I thought not all orchestra players were in the legendary tier list though, you'd need to be someone extremely special to be able to sight read on the spot and play it whatever it is. So the pianist shredding on the piano is a sight reader perhaps? I wouldn't in a million year. I'm happy that my ears are blessed with such musical expertise.

[@ooodette51]

I haven’t gone through the whole video yet so- SIGHT READ?!?! THATS INSANE!!! The musicality in this piece was PERFECT!!! I can’t believe it was sight read!

[@Kynatosh]

There is a reason I gave up on being such a great musician, I cant even begin to compare myself to these geniuses

[@RobertZieglerConductor]

Thanks! 🙏

[@lagrangewei]

it rare that the composer will intentionally write wicky bit that borders on human ability. I recall they have issue with some Indian instrument because what you can play on a keyboard and what you can actually do with the intrument is rather different, so they do have to fix and test certain part of a piece. you can always do abit of rearranging to fit everything in.

[@musicbypia]

thank you so much for making this video and letting us look behind the scenes of this magical concert. I hope this video goes viral

[@RobertZieglerConductor]

Wow! Your enthusiasm for the game and the music is really inspiring to me! I'm working on new videos about Genshin music (Sumeru, Melodies of an Endless Journey) with BTS stuff that I hope you'll enjoy. Also more about conducting in general and, if you like Genshin music then lots of classical pieces that you'll enjoy as well. See you soon!! Thanks again for watching and for your comments.

[@RayanaWolfer]

I laughed out loud at some reactions; when you come from a professional background it's easy to forget how most people may not be familiar with certain instruments you learn to take for granted. Thank you very much for your open and humorous attitude. My best regards to the brilliant musicans and team behind the scenes!

[@MrTea101]

Hoyo don't mess around with the quality of the music. For a free game, it's extremely underrated compared to "AAA" game for the amount of effect put into it.

[@Jesses001]

When I heard that Hoyoverse was getting the London Symphony Orchestra and Ziegler on board for the new region, I was pleasantly surprised. I should not had been surprised as they have a long history of insane music quality over years now. I have no idea how they are going to up the aunty for the next region. I still have not gotten over the Fibonacci sequence being used as a time signature. The glass armonica is a really difficult instrument to play. Getting the right pressure on the glass and sustaining it is touchy. Also the glass is very fragile. Oh, so percussion was in charge of the glass harp. I was wondering who would have taken on that instrument.

[@alexlyster3459]

Didn't the LSO also do the Mondstat and Sumeru music as well? Or was that the London Philharmonic?

[@Jesses001]

@@alexlyster3459 They have used a lot of orchestras so it is a bit hard to keep track, but I think most of Mondstat was done by Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. I am rather sure Inazuma was Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. There were other orchastras along the way as well.

[@alexlyster3459]

@Jesses001 Oh no doubt it's hard to keep track of at this point! ButI looked it up: They used the London Philharmonic for Mondstat, then the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra for Liyue, the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra for Inazuma as you stated, before returning to the London Philharmonic for Sumeru, but with guest players for traditional Middle Eastern/Indian instruments. Then finally to the London Symphony Orchestra for Fontaine! So alot of jumping about 😅

I can't believe how good orchestra musicians are. They basically sight-read the music while being recorded. When I was in my school band, we took weeks to months to prepare for a performance, and these people prepare in minutes. Absolutely incredible.

I've been a violinist for most of my life and I remember downloading Genshin as a joke and going "what have i done with my life I'm playing a silly anime game" but it all changed when I was exploring in mondstadt and heard the backround music, it completely changed my view of the game and became one of the main reasons I play, I can't wait for the music in Natlan!!

[@adybeeva]

Thank you for making this video! I was really interested in the behind-the-scenes of an orchestra/live recording (why they wear headphones etc). Another funny thing is, I've already known you can use regular wine glasses to make high-pitched sounds, because it was my project for Science class during homeschooling. When I heard, then saw them in the recording, I was amazed, because it's really fitting for a region inspired by France (and England)! Also, I wish you a successful new year! I'm looking forward to your videos!

It's a fantastic performance and feast. I tried to transcribe the whole Fontaine main title in the past. When I finished, I was impressed by the exquisite thinking of the composer Dimeng Yuan. His textures played by the woodwinds and the piano are quite atrractive. In addition, all the musicians are so efficient that they only need little time to adjust. Thanks for all the members participating in the Genshin. By the way, I remembered you also participate in the Sumeru theme which may may many lovers are curious abot.

Coming back here after Natlan music is out, such a powerful music to listen to, I had to come back here.

[@aperfectlynormalinternetus6715]

Thanks so much for this video! I noticed you've been working with Genshin Impact ever since the first music tracks were recorded, so it's absolutely fascinating to see you offer some insight into the music of the game. I would love to hear more of your thoughts on this game's music and the comparisons that can be drawn to the classical music from which HOYO-MiX draws heavy inspiration; as well as your experiences working with the huge variety of different musicians in addition to Hoyoverse themselves. It would also be great to hear some more about the making of Sumeru's soundtrack as well, as I feel like the multitude of ethnic instruments played alongside the symphony orchestra (like the bağlama sitting behind you in this video) provides a very interesting challenge for classical trained musicians. Also, if I may be so bold, since you worked a lot with the game's original composer Yu-Peng Chen, did you perceive any difference working on the Fontaine score that was composed after his departure from the team?
