[LorenceLinzWrightwoo]

your music brings tears to my eyes, Perhaps i should learn the piano or violin instead of the guitar

[MidnightRaidersWOW]

i saw this and thought oh know the prelude shouldn't be changed to much as you said the song itself is beautiful and you did it justice well done keep up the good work :)

[Amishhellcat]

What! No Tifa costume? Outrageous!

[DyramBlade]

@Amishhellcat I'd say she's more of a Celes or a Rosa, personally.

[moonlightgirl12345]

Can you play yunas Ballad? I love you :D

[yasminload63]

[yasminload63]

I LOVE UR IOLIN PLAYING I WANNA PLAY ON SOOOOOO BAD

[TheSiriusCentauri]

Yeah!

[FromSeoul83]

Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series taught me to read English

[WalysonBorges]

@FromSeoul83 Me too. And this girl taughts me to comment on youtube.

[ThunderJunkOC]

Outstanding, when i got my hands on the first FF in 86 this became one of my favorite video game themes. You nailed it perfectly, bravo!

[WindWolf28]

Wow, you had the chance to meet Nobuo-The Genius-Uematsu.

If I had that opportunity, I'd just give him hug then thank him for making my ears worth existing.

[ericsigil]

GAWD, the viloin here is just divine.

[malvagaia]

your such an inspiration, love everything you do on here!!

[Timae2009]

Just so beautiful.

Thank you so much for contributing this!

<3

[MaXWinchester]

Now i understand Nobuo ,passed to you some of his magic gift of music and talent. :)

[cmauffray1]

wow....this gave me chills. it was like everything else in the universe stopped completely for 1 minute and 59 seconds...thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

[Gohaeism]

Two dislikes? Really?

[FeiLong92]

Ottimo

[ZeaLVT]

Nobuo is amazing, a genius of our time. I was lucky enough to meet him a few years ago in Chicago and he is very friendly and extremely humble. I told him in person I think he is a better composer than Stravinsky (one of his idols) and he politely refused it.

[LeonardLayten]

lol i dont know why your not partners with youtube yet

[nmx]

Love it!!!

[SPL4SHZ0N3]

Nearly cried to this one, I love your emotion in the playing. 

[Shinigami0512]

you're really awesome! i'm a big anime/game fan and i really really love violine!

[sefiroth777]

you are simply amazing :)

[HarmonyInResonance]

My friend just had an eargasm listening to this song while looking at my Classical and piano playlist. I believe that is a thumbs up in my book. :) Great stuff, all of your work. Keep up the wonderful music!

[TheprinceMr]

Amazing!



[cptOrgazmo]

this video deserves more views...

[kAmi9teen8y5]

Seriously, I cried a little. Big beautiful tears of pure geek joy!

Thank you for that.

[PrinceMarcusWilliam]

Castlevania maybe?

[Akiokuro]

Amazing!!! We of Brazil love you!

[WHFBASSIST]

Well, I'm off to go play FF VII now.

thank you for the nostalgia.

[khazmodan77]

What about celtic moon from FFIV? Would be lovely:D

[jatsarda]

ok, i love you , marry me please (:

[chau5ter]

I want to thank you for inspiring me to take up piano again.

[lara6683]

@chau5ter :)

[CodA2501]

This is one of my favorite FF pieces, great job.

[SnaggaSheeYoung]

/watch?v=szG8npbEmEA (Youtube adress)

that's look like a lot the song you played at start of this video.

[STARREDGE]

does some jerk just dislike every video you make just so it reads a billion "likes" and 1 "dislike"

that's just rude!

[VAMP6322]

Love this song :D I know it doesnt hurt to ask but if you ever have time on your hands or bored can you do the Final Fantasy 7 Battle Theme its so cool :D

[Pseybert]

You are amazing.

[drunyon214]

You should insert that photo of you and Uematsu into one of your videos... maybe your next FF video? Everyone will be amazed!  Instant street credibility!

[pizzamannetje79]

Love it. My favourite song is Terr/tina's theme of final fantasy IV. It's about a magical being in a very technological world... just like my girlfriend. She can play piano, but this one is a bit too complex for her. Could you play it? it's on scribd, add /doc/14749543/Terra-Sheet-Musi­c to the url.

[kuwait350z]

i cant discribe the great emotions u put me in while listening to you playing nice like that!

thank you very much for making me feel good; am subscribing; plz dont stop making us happy :)

[lolorrain]

I also hope and desire you do more FF music.

[Juninhochrono]

Sensacional , linda d+ .

[Timae2009]

Beautiful just beautiful.

Thank you =)

[cuecas80lol]

Omg grats! You just made my day! =) i really enjoyed it. Go to my channel and watch my videos =) hope u like it

KEEP THE GOOD WORK :)

[SiraeaTruesomo]

I love the prelude theme, but it being played on both piano and violin almost makes me cry. <3 I think it's the violin - what's a beautiful instrument! :D You are indeed very talented. :)

[MrReebdoog]

Love FFVII, and love this!

[leylaZahar94]

very nice!!! :))

[ultimategodPT]

dammm... next nobuo? i wish to have that luck xD

[superjer4]

i could listen to this to go to sleep

[ukLeeham720]

Incredible.

[Orusa13]

Wow your really an amazing violinist. =)

[Lazrious]

You are truly amazing, keep up the good work and great play. Would love to hear any Final Fantasy VII music you could do =0)

[superguy2569]

Playing instruments so well is a really attractive quality.

[TheTrickerL]

Wow, well done, it's beautiful and clean.

It's funny and remarkable how there's this kind of 'network' of videogame songs that fit into one taste for music (or genre perhaps?).

I really enjoy the Zohar arrangements for example, and have liked many of the same songs you and other players of Zohar's work play, like this prelude.

Makes me feel connected with the youtube players that like these same songs =)

[696howlingwolf]

You are very pretty :)

[HatchuneMiku01]

so much love for you. So beautiful :)

[p4r4d0x4]

Wonderful composition, thank you. :)

[JOLROX]

I love you Lara.

[lara6683]

@JOLROX I love you too jolrox

[DaBananaHammock]

Wow your really talented! Any plans to do any other FF music in the future?

[lara6683]

@DaBananaHammock yes, probably terra's theme, eyes on me, maybe some stuff from 13

[BlueProject]

i know that u probably get a lot of "marry me"......but really marry me

[lara6683]

@BlueProject ok.

[redwyaster5]

What kind of violin is that/ how old is it?

[lara6683]

@redwyaster5 It's a French Miracourt, i'm not sure how old....it's an inexpensive violin.

[lovellespice]

you're very talented!.. btw why do wear the same skirt all the time?

[lara6683]

@lovellespice it's only in 2-3 videos...purely coincidental?

[lovellespice]

@lovellespice haha probably I stumbled on all three consecutively.. anyway you look very pretty in all your videos so.. :) keep it up!

[Luigifan14]

This is beautiful! And your playing is wonderful. :)

[1337cookiez]

OMG I was at that concert aswell :) I swear, Nobuo looked so much like Mr Miagi with his sandals xD

[lifewithbeats]

I like it a lot :) You should most definetly cover 'Medley' by Nobou Uetmatsu, its like a small collab of a few of his greatest pieces :)

[BladeNinja009]

Wow..I'm a huge JRPG gamer I love the scores for most games and of course that means I love Final Fantasy epic soundtrack. I won't lie I think this is actually better then the original versions of FF openings. Really amazing job.

[mababa3003]

hey, can you do the same thing with At Zanarkand from ffx? it would be amazing ;D

ty

[oscarmbp]

beautiful

[Doyledeth]

This is completely and wonderfully amazing. You did one of my favorite video game themes justice and made it even more beautiful. Fantastic job!

[SUPERritschi]

I think it is from Final Fantasy VII or am I wrong ?

[lara6683]

@SUPERritschi It most resembles VII, yeah

[ThumbNMeBum]

@lara6683 surprisingly enough, with the addition of the violin, its more akin to he rendition from IX....and overlooked, but possible best entry in the series, espeicially musically.

[curiositygun93]

what key is it in or is it using a mode of some kind

[lara6683]

@curiositygun93 Just C major :)

[curiositygun93]

what key is it in?

[lara6683]

@curiositygun93 C major.

[greenlantern2021]

This song always gives me goosebumps because its FF. But this is by far the best rendition.

[MattOstil]

That's amazing. I went to Distant Worlds when it came to Toronto, and our seats were right behind Nobou Uematsu. :D

We didn't actually get a chance to say hello, but he did wave to us and let us take a picture of him, haha.

Good music on your channel by the way!

[ChannelleCooper]

@lara6683 yeah that was a smart move. don't want to freak him out or anything. :]

you should put the picture up. :D That is some crazy luck you have.

[brokenURL]

Very nice! :P

[ZeitgeistReview]

Bravo

[brokenURL]

@ZeitgeistReview Oooh it's zeitgest review! :P

[rmeyer0120]

Lovely, just lovely. Welcome to the list of things that made my morning :)

[SirTobbii]

Amazing Lara, you're so good at this! :D

[PianoPlayerPete]

I'd like to repeat my offer of marriage ;)

[LadySaea]

Very beautiful. :) And that's awesome that Nobuo sat next to you! :D

[Lavashield]

heavenly as usual.....nice vibrato

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

What! Nobuo Uematsu sat next to you? Holy shazbot...that must have been awesome! Seriously what are the chances of that? Should have thrown a Pokeball at him and taken him home. =)

I appreciate how you preserved the simplicity of the prelude. Wish I could wake up to this every morning instead of my alarm, stupid thing.

[moogle301]

@bobblewobblesqueeg get an mp3 of this and then use a (smartish) phone as your alarm? =] I wake up to Nobuo Uetmatsu/Murray Gold etc all the time! :D

And yeah wow, she sat next to Nobuo... Unfair =[

[sleepyjoey]

I just had an amazing nerdgasm omg.

[ShinAkuma21]

Press Start 

[raylegea]

I love the way you play the piano here, it sounds so nice, spiritual and supernatural, like dreaming, the violin sounds more human, because is like singing :]

[JonathanFBock]

You seem so happy when playing, its contagious. Cant help but smile along! Beautifully played!

[ezexus]

damn i envy you about the concert =((((....... btw... this version is from final fantasy VII

[SaTo82]

UR AMAZING !!!, Do you use any program to edit the sound of the violin?

How you record the violin sound?

[lara6683]

@SaTo82 I use a roland edirol to record both...I don't really edit the sound, I import it into audacity and maybe increase the volume, cause for some reason it records pretty quietly..but that's about it

[Cloudseph89]

That..was..BEAUTIFUL!

[DESM0D0N]

so awesum

[ChannelleCooper]

Dang! you sat next to nobuo uematsu????? Did you say anything to him? Please do tell. :D

[lara6683]

@ChannelleCooper I asked him for a photo :) He was so nice!! I just tried to be well behaved, and not like a crazy fan

[MechaSixVII]

Subbed, great playing!

[ffslolwtf]

awesome!

[Zauchi]

this makes me want to play final fantasy VIII now........ be back in a month. lol

[RamblingPanda]

Very talented :). Great video!
