Lost Paintings - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (solo piano arrangement)

[@Rapaz-v9n]

Your music reminds me of the best years of my life, playing video games, with nothing to worry about.

ahhh those were such good years for me too, unencumbered by so many adult responsibilities OTL!! Thank you so much!!!

This is perfect. I have heard you play this probably like 100 times now. It totally respects the original, even when you start playing around with it and doing your thing, it never runs away from the original and even takes it to new heights. Outstanding! You should do more of Symphony of The Night!

what makes this the best piano cover out of every other piano cover on youtube is the fact that she does the strings @ 1:15 etc.. that makes the song much more powerful than doing solely the keys.

I came here from Dance of Pales, and while I echo *everything* that everyone else has said, I wanted to touch upon one other thing. I love the way your emotion is visible as you play; it's evident that you're not just performing a piece, but you're feeling it at the same time, and the two feed into each other. This is an underrated aspect of musical performance, so I have mad respect for you.

[@udance4ever]

hey I originally came for Pales as well & as a pianist in a past life, I agree with you wholeheartedly about her embodying emotion!

I just recently got and played Symphony of the Night, and wow... the soundtrack absolutely blew me away. But this? This arrangement pulls and plays with every bit of the emotion of the original tracks, weaving a tapestry of nostalgia from a game I only just had the pleasure of battling my way through.

I remember working on this piece a long time ago (maybe 10 years) and also never heard that arrangement before, and I listened to a bunch of versions of the song and looked at all the sheets I could find. It's very nice, but unfortunately I can't help you with where it's from. Great, as always.

[@purpleschala]

hahaha thank you so much!!! and yeah it's all right! i thought I knew the SOTN OST inside and out and was shocked to come across this version. tbh my money is on a fan arrangement, since it just isn't found anywhere else, but given the quality of the recording and writing, it's strange nobody has come forward to claim ownership or that it isn't found anywhere else. it's a big mystery.

Very2 nice! The game made me fall in love with classical music. I am 32 now and this just brought me straight back to year 99, middle school 6th grade.
