This is "Roxas" from the Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts, composed by Yoko Shimomura, arranged for piano by Sachiko Miyano.

Alright, so whoever has been following me on Facebook knows that I sought out the opportunity to play on a Boesendorfer Imperial 290 grand to make a recording of a piece from the Dark Souls soundtrack. Let me use this opportunity to anonymously extend my warmest thanks to the persons who made this possible :) Seriously the best piano I have ever played on my entire life, the possibilities it gives the pianist are so manyfold, and the amount of control it demands from the pianist against his will is so high that it rendered all my experience with other grands nontransferrable. I couldn't get used to it even after several hours of playing on it. So anyway, while I was there, I had some time left and made this recording of Roxas from the Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts. I had practiced this a couple of months back but didn't make a recording until now. Consider this a taste of what's coming up in my next video ~ Editing it is still going to take a bit, I have a couple of ideas that I want to try to follow, but it should get done sometime soon.

  • Great to see you're still uploading! I recently found your 2nd channel, thought "yes!" and watched all the videos

  • @UncleRob199 nice that people still find that channel :)

  • I thought you were freaking rich or something to own a Bossendorfer until I read the description.Lol. They say that a Bossendorfer has a darker tone than most pianos, what do you think about the sound? I felt it's tone as mellow and gloomy compared to a steinway.Must I comment on the playing.Anyways awesome as usual Mr verdegrand.

  • @kaputasri thanks, and yeah this isn't mine of course, i just asked some people. even if i could own such an instrument, i would need a huge house first with a gigantic room to put this in... as for the darker sound, i am not certain. i haven't played on enough steinways to be able to make a proper comparison, although i must say that especially the lower register notes sound considerably more powerful than on any other grand i've playedon , so that could explain a "dark" feel.

  • It's so beautiful.. You never failed to amuse me. Not within the past two years, not ever.

  • @iBab0 thanks a lot, i really appreciate it

  • Awesomeness now come with 3D! (Though useless LOL)

  • @aerolord I think it's invertedverdegrand

  • @UncleRob199 What is his second channel? I bet I will find some gems there ;D

  • @SammieeSaysRawrr

    The piano has a extended range.

  • What did you use to record this video? Just a video camera? Or was there a mic and stuff.

  • Are you going to perform The Other Promise too? :o

  • Well, you must have gotten used to the Bosendofer at least a little, since this sounds great. As usual you manage to extract maximal musicality from each note.

  • @Verdegrand wow, i bet they're really rich sounding keys.

  • Can you play the Graveyard theme from Endless Ocean? Endless Ocean music, and the game itself, is very underrated, and I would love to hear you play it.

  • this1 touches my soul! * * * * *
