Last Samurai Soundtrack - A Way Of Life - Piano Cover

A Way of Life from the incredible soundtrack of the Last Samurai composed by Hans Zimmer. This is definetely my favorite soundtrack of Hans Zimmer. I still listen to this score nowadays even when the score was released in 2003. Simply love this score and the movie too! Just seeing the pictures again and I really want to see it again =D This time I decided to record the whole piece as the end is one of my favorite parts of this track. Also I was curious to see how it sounds on my 'new' digital piano. I hope you like it. I am planning to make more videos with my new set-up of the Last Samurai. Any suggestions which piece?
Thanks and cheers!

Fantastic! Did you arrange this yourself? I'm super impressed. This is my favorite track from this score and you definitely did it justice. I know this is a strange question, but what kind of camera do you use? Your audio quality is always superb. I can never get mine to sound that good... granted, I have a 50 year old upright piano and a crappy digital camera, haha ;o) I'm not in the "digital age"!

@Guinevere723 Yes, this one I arranged myself. Well I use a cheap handy cam (Sony DCR-SR35) so I don't recommend that. It is the sound recording that is the most important. For my new videos I am using Midi with a virtual instrument (Steinway sample) and before this I used a digital soundrecorder Edirol with very good microphones. So the video camera is not a big thing on the sound. So an expensive camera doesn't help to improve. I hope this helps :O)

Absolutely brilliantly played! I definitely think 'The Last Samurai' score is completely underrated. Personally it's my favourite movie score of all time. Hans Zimmer is a legend! And you pay tribute to his beautiful music incredibly well!

[juggernoud1]

@Sarabi25 Yes! I have to agree with you on that. His Last Samurai scoreis really underrated. Btw I also like his maestro theme he wrote for the movie the Holiday. Also not that familair. It is hard what pieces are the most populair of HZ. Maybe the POTC series but I am not that fond of it. Also Inception is not my favorite. I think Batman Begins/Dark Knight but then again JNH collaborate with that one ;-)

There's just something with all the pieces from this OST. They are incredibly emotional and you do not fail to deliver! Great job! ;D

@JoyDreamerJourney Thanks Joy for commenting on my video again! So you also like this score like Alex? That is great!! ^_^

@juggernoud1 Gaaahhhh Red Warrior! i think at some point i have to spend some money on that pianoplateau site :D absolutely worth the investment!

@mYOwngUn Hehe, I can also listen for hours to the original soundtrack. The Last Samurai score is an instant classic. I bet I still listen to this score over 10 years :-)

@alexiskirat Crimson Tide? Don't know this one very well. You seem to be a true mediaventures fan ;-) I am more of a JNH fan. What is the name of the Crimson Tide theme? Thanks for all the suggestions. I am always happy to hear that. And listen to new music! Haha, you are right! In the first place I thought you were joking as I couldn't find the difference :P But your right. I always type Brain :S Thanks again for correcting me ^_^ Have a great sunday!

[juggernoud1]

@alexiskirat And thanks for the suggestion. I am not familair with the Armageddon score. I know the main theme of course ;-) Can you send me a personal message about this. I am quite interested in this.
