I heard if you defeat Purpleschala in a duel you can learn the "Piano Virtuoso" skill which boosts your stats based on the number of gramophone records you've unlocked. But she's max difficulty and impossible to defeat. Oh well.

It'd be an underexaggeration to say that I haven't been coming back weekly to watch this since you uploaded this masterpiece of a cover. Half a year later and it still brings tears to my eyes. The brilliance of yall's music, the weight of Hikari's character and story... it's just overwhelming emotions here that sometimes are really just helpful to be feeling with everything that's going on in the world and in my life So again again again again... from the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU SO MUCH schala and israfel for taking something beautiful and taking it even further beyond

Oh my god, you really did it. I knew from all of the teases I've seen and from your video descriptions that you really loved Hikari, so I figured this would be a big one, but this blew me away in a way I didn't anticipate. Every time you slammed into the low notes, I genuinely felt a power there that I'm not used to. At the same time, during the quiet parts it was completely and utterly serene. Oh and the pizzicato, oh my god! Israfel was incredible! Not to mention that last minute or so, I mean I can't express how mesmerized I was. Such a fascinating development from the base theme into an incredibly poignant outro that I felt really completed the story that the rest of the piece was telling. This is definitely one of the best pieces you guys have done.

OMG THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!! ❤️😭❤️😭❤️ it really means a lot, i'm so glad you liked it! I think a lot of the powerful sounding bits was due to Nick's amazing mixing/mastering skills, he definitely made my piano sound MUCH more extra than I usually can make it sound with my own amateur mixing/mastering skills in my other vids AHAHAHAHAHA clearly i need him for everything from now on lol! And @israfelcello is just a world class cellist, i'm so glad we were able to showcase more of his palette lol. I'm also so happy you dug the ending, i'm just a fangirl mess over Hikari that it was so important to me to explore as much of his character as possible so I felt a rather understated yet emotionally charged ending was fitting for him, as his battle was one to preserve his homeland. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is so good! Have you ever seen Hero? That's the album I always think of when I think of Tan Dun, more so than Crouching Tiger. Lots of, what would it be? Yearning? Sweeping, yearning string passages. That is what I am reminded of here. I will watch anything with Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, ever since I saw In the Mood For Love (which if you haven't seen you need to do immediately). I was going to ask if you had changed mixing procedures lately, as the past few uploads have seemed much, for lack of a better word, brighter (is that a mixing term)? The sound is amazing, so keep it up! Thank you yet again Schala. This arrangement, performance and recording was really gorgeous. Beautiful playing here, both of you. Also, the ending is PERFECT!

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! yes YES I love Hero and dang it I don't know why that OST didn't occur to me when I was looking for Tan Dun riffs to rip for this!!!! LOL!!!! Yes you're absolutely right, much more lush grand romantic gestures than Crouching Tiger, which is mostly percussive and variegated. I mean I totally love both though!!!! Though that theme is just ICONIC aaaaahhhhhh ok so I'm not a huge Wong kar wai fan but MAN In the Mood for Love was such a vibe omg. Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung are just GORGEOUS in that movie and I am a lifelong simp for Tony Leung's puppy dog eyes, even when he's being a bad man in Lust, Caution -- LMAO I'M SORRY!!! I have to say my fave would be Chungking Express though, but I'm due for a rewatch of In the mood for love, for sure!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FEEDBACK ON THE MIXING!!!!!! 😍😍 this one in particular was mixed/mastered by a professional engineer so it's def gonna sound way better than the rest hahaha, but it's good to know we're on the right track with the recent sound quality--i've been changing my mic positions, so i'm happy to hear it's made a bit of a difference! thank YOU for leaving such wonderful, detailed, and encouraging comments--they're such a joy to read!❤️❤️

Asian style music played with instruments used in western orchestras tends to be a winning combination (as well as fusions with Asian instruments). One example I recommend is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms V soundtrack (CD-ROM version) - playlist below: kzitem.info/news/bejne/mJygzn-sgIxoZ2U I found that CD-ROM in the trash one day (an upgrade kit / expansion pack for the Mac version) and found that it had redbook audio and was very impressed by the quality - I lucked out finding that (never even played the game). Another example (non-gaming) is Yo-Yo Ma / Silk Road Orchestra which I'll bet is right up IsrafelCello's alley - here is the track called Distant Green Valley: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lYif3pWlioF0Z34
