Those opening chords always give me a frisson of anxiety and goosebumps. Still almost 30 years later I feel that same tension and excitement when Sephiroth's song plays. You've done a wonderful job on this piece.
WOW!! I am just so blown away by this! You've truly reflected the villainous spirit lf Sephiroth here. This is so dark and grim like how it should be. A very bold and fearless piano performance. You played this masterfully!
Yes!!! I love Sephiroth's theme so much, absolutely one of my favorite tracks from FF VII! But I do agree that it seems it would do best with two pianos, it's so dense and powerful. But still, your performance has everything! Completely nailed it, I love the energy! I remember trying to learn the Piano Collections arrangement when I was 16 or so, but it was too intimidating to me back then haha, now I'm thinking I might give it another shot! Again, wonderful, super impressive performance!
Thank you so much, Caliko! I always think we share same musical taste most of the time, haha. It is quite fun to learn, you should give it another shot!
EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE!! this piece can feel very segmented when moving between the different motifs but in your performance they came together seamlessly. Oh I have chills listening to this
Some phrases felt really Etude-like , feels like a professional recording of a game soundtrack with a legitimately fully trained pianist. I wouldn't question if you are at a level where people would pay you for that kind of thing.
The arrangement itself is top-notch, it captured a lot of classical elements and at the same time, it is refreshing with contemporary touch. Thank you for your compliment! :)
Waouh!! pour ne pas reprendre le Wow qui se dégage des commentaires. S'il est une interprétation qui peut justifier mon trop modeste soutien à votre chaîne, c'est bien celle-ci. Grand merci pour ces quelques minutes intenses. Je souris en lisant vos remerciements à vos voisins... ils ont aussi une grande chance!!
i love this! I knew i wanted to play this over 10 years ago when i heard it. and finally i finished practicing the piano collections arrangement of one winged angel some time last year after a year of practicing. so great to see other people play this awesome piece. you're spot on!
I was first time to discover that someone as Xiao Tong Piano playing a piece of game music with piano, One-Winged Angel (Sephiroth Theme of Final Fantasy VII), just like a symphony music. 我還是頭一次發現像曉彤鋼琴這樣的人，能夠將遊戲音樂《獨翼天使》（最終幻想VII薩菲羅斯主題曲）的鋼琴曲彈奏得如同一首交響樂那樣。
I found you today,I like your Animenz's covers.And I listen to this song for the first time,this is also great.I'm very happy that overseas pianists like you play Japanese songs. Love from Japan
Gamings most villainous melody. Yeah, it’s been Worshipped, dipped into various ways and yet no matter how one plays it, it still gives that melancholy of suspense that danger creeping closer. Played this several times on violin while my friends just play it on random instruments 😂
