Fontaine Live Symphony Performance | Genshin Impact 

This hits hard after doing the Act V

So freaking solemn. We’re in the water nation but this is fire

i hate to think there are people missing out on such good music because they don't like the type of game that genshin is. you can enjoy the music without playing the game. i hope everyone who dislikes genshin gets the chance to listen to this music; almost impossible to deny that it's amazing

Mihoyo is a game company:❌ Mihoyo is an art company:✅

Armonicas are extremely rare instruments. Hoyo went way far out for this.

Genshin is not a game, genshin is art

After completing Fontaine's story, the music began to sparkle with new colors. It's incredibly breathtaking.

We aren't fighting enemies in Fontaine We are dancing waltz with them

For anyone wondering, "Rondeau des fleurs et des rapieres" means "Dance of flowers and swords", the _rondeau_ being a traditional french dance, and the _rapière_ a long and thin sword used a lot around the 16th century in Italy!

It is just sad seeing people saying that Fontaine music isn't good enough after the message of Yu-Peng Chen leaving Hoyomix. While during the livestream so many people were in love with the sad yet elegant majestic music. It is absolutely amazing no matter who really composed it as long as people are open to listening.

The composition gives me a feeling of how fragile fontaine is at its current state, as if a single pebble could shatter the porcelain illusion of purity fontaine has.

Even if you get tired of the game you can ALWAYS count on Genshin having the BEST MUSIC. Everytime.

Mysterious, sad, powerful, and desperately hopeful - all at once. Perhaps this is the state of Furina, under a façade of happiness. Maybe she enjoys performances so much because she herself is always performing, masking her distress at the Prophecy. It's her method of escapism.

For those wondering, that opening instrument you hear in the battle theme is called a glass armonica, it’s such a cool and beautiful sounding instrument and I absolutely love hearing it in the Fontaine music, pretty fitting as well since you use water to play it

i bet when genshin ends there will be a huge mihoyo concert with soundtracks from all regions in celebration of everything we’ve passed. and i bet i’m gonna cry

I WANNA GO TO A GENSHIN IMPACT SYMPHONY SO BADLY!!!!

The use of the water glasses as part of the symphony - absolutely genius and mesmerizing!

Yu-Peng Chen is leaving hoyomix to pursue his own dreams. All the best to the music archon!

As an ex ballet dancer, this is making me ascend but also I am excited for Snezhnaya!

Fontaine will probably be my favourite. Elegance, mystery, dark, tragic vibe, love it. Always was interested more in Fontaine even before the release.

The music in genshin is always 10/10 no doubt, it’s the main reason why I started playing genshin

That's why I spend money on this game, even just a little, to let them know I appreciate the effort they put in the game.

The blue and green lights make it look like the whole symphony is underwater. Totally cool.

Once the full game/soundtrack is out... I really hope they do a world wide tour.

Genshin’s music will always be under appreciated, not because it doesn’t receive a lot of praise, but because the amazingness of their music far outweighs any amount of praise it receives..

1:20 who would think this was the funeral theme of one of the best Archon of Teyvat back then 😢

The glass armonica player's name is Christa Schönfeldinger. You're welcome

Undoubtedly, the OSTs of each of the Genshin Impact regions are true works of art.

Hearing a lot of Camille Saint-Saëns in this, really wonderful stuff. Can't wait to hear Fontaine OST inspired by Chopin and Debussy!!

Rest well among the sparkling streams and shining springs, dear Focalors. You will be remembered.

DO YOU KNOW? Robert Ziegler created Star wars music as well, alongside John Williams this man's a legend! ❤ THANKS MIHOYO!

2:16 bro when the choir starts singing, i get goosebumps everytime

I love how hoyo incorporates such unique instruments in their music even if they aren’t as popular cause even the little things make such a difference 🤩

IF YU PENG CHEN DIDNT MAKE THIS THEN WE R IN GOOD HANDS YALL (goodluck yu peng chen ❤❤😭)

When I first heard this, it didn’t slap as hard as Sumeru’s live symphony But now that I’ve done Fontaine’s Act IV, it has grown on me and I even teared up for a bit. Good job Hoyoverse 👏 👏

I would pay actual money to watch these orchestras, I bet the feeling of being live there to see them perform hits x100 times different

I love the use of the glass harmonica and harp, and looks like we get a sneak peak at Fontaine's motif. Hoyoverse never fails to deliver on their music.

listening to this after the archon quest... DAMNNN hoyomix really delivered all this amazing music. the fontaine leitmotif playing in that dialogue in the opera... the ballet... oh boy im gonna cry

This song sounded mysterious at first, now it sounds sad😢

I wonder how many children HOYO-MiX has inspired to become musicians. It excites me to wonder how many more amazing musicians we'll have in the future. Thank you, Hoyoverse and HOYO-MiX, for pushing music forward in this day and age when we need music in our lives more than ever.

Every time I hear that part in the battle themes at 8:20 my brain always goes “they’re doing the thing!”

Mihoyo makes some pretty good games for a Music Company.

I noticed the glasses have the hydro sign on them! That's such a cool detail!

The performance that the (small correction) London Symphonic Orchestra delivered is incredible. The musicians really gave a lot of life to these pieces. I’m amazed by how well certain effects were performed, such as the morendo at the end of the first piece.

I won't lie. I still love Sumeru's music the best. But this... This is an entirely different beast. Incredible in its own right. It's also not fair to say when only two Fontaine tracks are fully out, so maybe my judgement (heh) will change Update: Fontaine's music is ludicrously amazing. I've practically abandoned Sumeru 😂

Me remembering Focalors dancing on the piano one is making me cry

I was reading the comments andi noticed that nobody thanked them for their hard work, so i would like to thank every body who worked on these osts very much I really appreciate the work that the company has been putting so far and i love them very much❤❤ a traveler from iraq

I love how the composer (Yu-Peng Chen) in every region's theme incorporates the main motif (1:19 - 1:51) repeatedly throughout these themes to represent the concept of time and place within his compositions. I find it even more amazing that the composer tells a story through multiple variations of this motif and the use of texture and timbre to convey different parts of the players journey. Yu-Peng Chen, you're the best!

Yu-Peng Chen is such an amazing composer to be able to think of how all these instruments (and some unique ones too) sound together. I've never heard anyone complain about Genshin Impact's music because it's just so well produced!

1:20 I know this is what y'all want to hear the most

Best bits are 1:51 with the piano going wild, 2:44 with violin popping off, 5:20, 6:34 and 7:15 with the super cool descending notes and finally the piano absolutely shredding at 7:47. Insane theme that perfectly represents Fontaine

4:25 I HOPE I REALLY HOPE THAT THEY HAVE THIS SOUND THROUGHOUT THE REGION. I feel like its a cool possibility, since Nation of Hydro and everything!

The piano and harpsichord at 1:19 playing in sync is a sound you rarely hear and is such a brilliant and intriguing texture. The viol de gamba at 1:34 is not really talked about but it's great to hear this precursor instrument used in such a modern work, especially to hear it against the cellos in the string section.

does anyone else get so much howls moving castle vibes in fontaine? its so nice :’3

I literally cried while listening, thanks for amazing work everyone who took part of this.

Love Fontaine's music already, especially the battle theme Such a masterpiece 👏

The decision of using glass harmonica & glass harp instrument for fontaine is amazing honestly, gives off a rly unique vibe compared to the other tracks in genshin

Focalors' theme and The Narzissenkreuz Ordo theme goes so hard after completing all major Fontaine quests. Truly the best battle theme in the game, in my opinion. What a lovely perfomance!

My favorite is the Fontaine soundtrack! It just gives me the vibes of just dancing alone on a stage with no audiance or on dancing on water

the glass harp and glass harmonica? I'm screaming they're so perfect

Nobody’s gonna talk about the sheer grandeur of the instrumentation here? A piano, a celeste, a harpsichord, an accordion, a VIOLA DA GAMBA!! It’s so good to see bits of every musical period being put together 😭 Edit: how could I forget the glass harp and the armonica?? Re-edit: I am now fanboying over the lute-mandolin duet

Listening to this after having watched Focalors' sacrifice hits so different..

genshin impact: 80% art, 10% lore, 5% waifus, 3% good references, 2% gameplay

you can simply hear the early 1800s france in the first piece. the piano, violin, trumpet, vocals, harp etc. all work perfectly. this is the sort of thing i play this game for. this is seriously so incredible. the investment in player experience is unmatched with this company, and i am here for it. this is probably my favourite piece of them all, second only to la campanella.

I wish they would make a symphonic concert of all nation's themes. Just imagining it makes one yearn for it so badly

3:37 and 7:48 This piano is truly beautiful music...

mondstadt battle music : adventure-ish, cheerful vibe liyue battle music : epic, courageous vibe inazuma battle music : intense, heated vibe sumeru battle theme : swaying, intriguing vibe fontaine battle theme : elegant, danse macabre-ish vibe edit : since people hated the word exotic for no reason, I changed it

"Fontaine" is done in a waltz tempo, if I'm not mistaken. So again, like with "Sumeru", it's a dance, but a very different one.

The synergy between the visuals, music, and storytelling was masterfully executed, leaving a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to witness it. The seamless integration of technology and artistry truly set this performance apart, reaffirming Mihoyo's commitment to delivering unparalleled entertainment experiences?

that piano solo must be so stressfull lol. 3 and a half minutes into this amazing composure of hundreds of people and its up to you to absolutely nail the solo, which he did. (and its the best part too)

I love how each region’s main theme always has such a distinctive and unique opening melody, especially when they start with their respective culture’s instruments

The HOYO-MiX team never fails to take our breath away.

It's an honor and privilege to be able to listen and watch this... I was a musician myself, played trumpet during my high school and college years.. my love for symphonies and classical music has only grown over the years... I don't play the game, and my son does... he used to hate music and sport, but since he started listening to Genshin Music, he became a music lover himself and now studies piano as his extracurricular.. during our daily drive to school, Genshin music especially Sumeru, Fontaine, and Inazuma are always played among others... and in my own time, I also play these.. like almost everyday... so... thank you soooo muchhhhh...... Yu Peng Chen, Dimeng Yuan, their respective teams... the London and Tokyo symphony orchestra.. everyone who is part of this.. thank you!

1:19 cries in sadness

this is why I do not regret spending a portion of my salary on genshin. I know my money goes somewhere fantastic

0:17 This is what we called “Glassical Performance”.

After the 4.2 archon quest, this song hits a lot harder. This is simply brilliant.

Fontaine Music before 4.2: Elegant. Fontaine Music after 4.2: Emotional DAMAGE!

I hope Snezhnaya's OST will be inspired by Russian classical composers such as Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov

The second theme makes me imagine the traveler fighting an impossible enemy, but remembering what they're fighting for during the battle for some reason. What a beautiful score.

I came here for the Fontaine OST after finishing Act 5. I'm full of tears 😭

Fk man the melody hits harder after the Masquerade of the guilty quest

Using glasses of water for Fontaine’s music is actually genius

После выпуска всех регионов и завершения сюжета, Hoyoverse обязаны пойти с концертами по всему миру!

I can NEVER understand how Hoyo keep outdoing themselves with music 😭❤️ I love Genshin Impact

after the AQ i finally know the true meaning of this music...i can't stop crying

Just listening the soundtrack I can imagine Furina as a sensitive, dreamy and gentle person. But after the original Hydro Archon death she had to adapt to her new reality. I can imagine that Furina had so many dreams and goals, before she had to bear the duty of the new Hydro Archon. And the most of them are unreachable for her now. The death of the original Archon caused her to become "prickly" and more distant from her people, as she probably thinks this is how an Archon must be. This, of course, contrasts to her true personality. The only distraction from the harsh reality became the trials at the Court of Fontaine. I would guess that she would gladly retire from her duty, if the opportunity would present itself. Didn't read leaks, so it's all just my speculations, but it would be cool if it will turn out to be correct. That would be blind guess just based from the music

1:19 THIS PART has sent me to heaven

04:40 Rondeau des fleuers et des rapieres is a masterpiece.

When Enkanomiya was released i thought the music can't get any better. Oh boy, i was so wrong. First Sumeru, i thought it again and now it gets even better. When the music of Snezhnaya gets released i will cry for sure.

hits differently after the Fontaine AQ Act 5 :(

It's so cool that hoyomix decided to include actual water-centric instruments in the lineup! Love the dedication ❤

So many renaissance and baroque instruments in one piece! Mandolin, Harpsichord, Accordion, beautiful. The familiarities in these pieces with Smetana, Poulenc, Debussy, Chopin, Mendelssohn etc. are just screaming. The composer has outdone himself yet again.

I have never regretted buying blessings/BP every month and turning into this

Live Symphony Performance of every nation is so unique and I just cannot stop listening to them one by one. One after the other. Travelling different cultures and different nations emotionally in an epic way...I love HOYO-MIX !!!

i must say _’fontaine’_ has the vibe of 1700s classical music! even more better is the fact that the region of fontaine is based on france; europe very excellent work :)

They don't have to do this, but they do anyways. That's why I love Hoyo-Mix and Yu-Peng Chen. They outdo themselves every freaking time...beautiful

Fun fact: Fontaine's music is not by Yu Peng Chen, because he had left HoYo-Mix

This song reminds me so much of the “element of water”. It’s elegant, mesmerizing yet deceptive. There are both the wondrous wonders and the mysterious secrets hidden in its depths that will never see the light of day. And that make the water beautiful. It gives you this colorful imagery and takes your breath away!
