Waaaaay ahead of it’s time; I’ve seen this when I was a kid, and I always come back to listen for the good music and nostalgia whether I’m at working or working out 🔥🔥🔥

5 year since I posted my original comment on this video, still listen to this at least once a week. Absolutely spectacular. Continue to love this video.

We’ve all still remembered this? Really says a lot. This goes raw, now that shouldn’t go unstated. Castlevania likes to dance around my head and this man murders on the stage.

This is the best arrangement I have ever heard in my life.

I found that 10 years ago, I was 15 yo and played Dawn Of Sorrow on Nintendo DS. I still come back to this medley, it hits in all the right places.

@Octophrator vampire killer’s rendition, while calm, was the perfect bridge between Death Fair and the main theme of castlevania 3.. It is a repetitive (still a bop) song with its melody, so i understand the approach when including it. But overall yes I agree with you 100%. it’s been 12 years now and I’m finally at the skill level to play a lot of these arrangements after spending so much time learning by ear- masterpieces, they are!

STILL AN ABSOLUTE BANGER

I love how the drawbridge and gate noises are synced to the bench lowering and the piano opening, that's a nice touch.

0:45 This little gem of a detail is one of the things that make this already true-to-the-original version so perfect! The actual game sound from whence the mote bridge is hoisted!! Dammit, you genius of a piano player👏

Being a musician and a huge fan of Castlevania, I must say... I love your interpretation of the music and not only was I filled with nostalgic bliss, your technique is truly flawless. I love your attack on the keys and I couldn't compose a better arrangement if I tried.

This is still the best medley I’ve ever listened to in my life. Thank you Verdegrand.

Still in 2022 and nothing compared with this 🎶🎼 Best midley ever 🤘🏻

this is one of the best pieces of music on youtube

this is freaking incredible.

1:53 made love to my ear. Its amazing how well you interpreted that part from a 16 bit game song. I dont know if best medley, but he nailed all the arrangements the right way. Thanks a bunch verdegrand. 2022 and still rocking

my play repeat counter says 40. 40 times in 2 days, i cant get enough of this medley !

STILL, The best piano medley of Castlevania on KZread. A brilliant work that expresses the musicality of Akumajou Dracula as much as it does. 'Death Fair - Castlevania: The Adventure' reminds me that I played again and again on GB with a single earphone when I was a kid.

The most boss piano medley I've come across. Wow

First time coming back to this video in about eight years. I’m tearing up just listening to this again because I firmly believe this inspired me to pursue piano further. I remember trying to play bits and pieces of this medley and being so happy thinking I could one day get to your level. I haven’t played in a bit, but I’m seriously moved by this video still. Thank you.

even after years i keep coming back, this is just excelent!!! makes me wish i could play like tht, should be so much fun to play this piece.

I used to heard this song lot of years ago, and now i listen again and... Buff, feelings....

I watch this video since 10 years ... Jesus ... what a master piece !

and yet again, here i am to listen to this masterpiece..

WOOOO Simon's theme!! fantastic ;) very coool

More than a great pianist : he really "felt" Castlevania than anybody else on YT.

Legitimately one of the first videos I ever saw on KZread. I cannot fucking believe I found it again 13 years later. Wow, that's a point in your book Suggestions

the entire video is awesome, but when you played bloody tears, it was incredible!!

No other CV piano videos are quite as good as yours, 10+ years coming back tho these

This is still my favorite piano medley

I'm currently transcribing this to a midi-file and although it will take a couple of months to get it completely finished, if anyone's interested, I've already finished Beginning (4:06 - 5:15) and it is available on my channel as a Synthesia video. Cheers!

In isolation each piece is masterully played. Beginning in particular is the best piano arrangement of it i have ever heard, i have yet to find a standalone performance of it that is as satisfying.

'Dance of the Holy Man' is such a good tune : D

Great stuff. All of these arrangements are masterpieces. But your Bloody Tears arrangement is a Godpiece. It's by far the best I've seen here on KZread (and it's already 12 years old). No wonder why this is your most viewed video.

@Verdegrand

2 жыл бұрын

Hey, thank you very much. I should add that that Bloody Tears arrangement is based on Nightshader1's arrangement. A few years ago KZread got rid of all the annotations which included the credits. Also while we're at it the second Simon's Theme is inspired by King Baldwin's version. I can't believe it's been such a long time ever since I uploaded this medley. Thanks for watching it.

This is a really skillful arrangement, with some nicely done key changes. Great performance too. Well done all around!

Ok....I know I'm late AF, but i'm just now realizing that you've played like a lot of my favorite game soundtrack videos. I play this everyday at work. Love your work bro.

Keep coming back here

Find me a better castlevania piano medley than this and i will pay you 1 million dollars. This is perfection

It's my favourite piano composition. Thousand gratitudes to Musician for amazing playing!

The Morning Sun has Vanquished the Horrible Night...

I was terrible at these games when I was a kid, but my friends teased me mercylessly for just sitting around listening to the music. This gave me chills listening to it.

Re do this in HD This would be awesome that's litterally one of the best medleys I've ever seen and believe me I watch a shit ton of covers on the Internet.

I can play the regular Zohar version, but you have taken that and taken it to the next level. I hope you create sheet music because I would definitely buy them if you chose to sell them. :)
