Arthas' story is so masterfully sad. You can't help but feel a profound sense of loss and a pang of regret for what his future might have been. Whenever Arthas says "Father, is it over," you also feel a pang of meta remorse. It's the end of Arthas' story, the orchestra has played its last note. It leaves you feeling empty.
@@sithlordzach8418 Just damn shame such great story was wasted in MMO like WoW....Warcraft III's storytelling was great and if we would have gotten Warcraft IV instead of of World of Warcraft....to me atleast its clear that the ending to his story could have been done so much better.
@@Balnazzardi Yeah I'm gonna call nostalgia glasses on that. Warcraft 3 is fantastic, but as someone who played it only recently, it takesa bout 30 minutes real time, and about two short cutscenes, to go from paladin arthus to the culling of stratholm arthus. Warcraft 3's story telling wasn't ground breaking or anything. Wow's story telling has been better especially when you look at expansions like Legion.
@@perseus1054 I couldn't agree more! The Blizzard composers are basically creating a new symphony ever other year. It never fails to fit the environment and the intended emotion.
The composition is mostly good, but I think it's kind of harmed that it's just follows a very basic ABAB pattern, interesting ideas within each section but the repition with no variation other than "more forceful this time" makes it a bit boring
One of the best performances I've seen of this song. One of my favorites. So much emotion; a scene of vast grandeur, reverence, majesty and sorrow. Darkness bathed in hope and light. You brought it to life. It's not just a song from a game. It's a beautiful composition that everyone should hear. I hope I am fortunate enough to hear more.
you should have a listen to other stuff Danish orchestra does. from what I've seen they are top tier. I've been to actual last concert of Ennio Morricone before he died and imho danish orchestra does his music better than his own orchestra.
It was amazing live. I had a spot on the first balcony, front and center. Even though the sound was amplified with loudspeakers, you could always tell where the individual sounds came from.
I recall clearly the gleam of pride in his eye as he stood before me, eager to defeat the enemies of the Light... Eager to defend his people, no matter the cost. *It is this memory of Arthas that I choose to keep in my heart.*
To me, this has always been the belated requiem for Prince Arthas . . . the man he was, the King he could have been. He died long before the heroes stormed ICC. The trumpets in this piece sound so regal, befitting the last prince of Lorderon . . .
"My son, the day you were born, the very forests of lordaeron whispered the name... Arthas." "My child, I watched with pride, as you grew into a weapon... of righteousness. Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom, and strength; and I know you will show restraint with exercising your great power. But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end, you shall be king."
And how was he (Terenas) right and wrong at the same time, but overall Arthas fate was the coolest thing in the warcraft history. Even up to this day it grow even stronger, when watching what blizz is doing with lore currently.
"No... We have a bug here now, and you and the Lich King are going to help us to fix it..." "Wait... What?" "You cannot resist my offer... My son" "I agree... We have so many bugs today..." The voice of the Lich King can be heard "Aww man... I wanted to have fun but this is what happen" "No game is alive forever when bugs and glitches is still in the game code, my son"
Enig...fra en tid hvor WOW betød noget.. Wotlk og tiden før var med til at forme dem som spillede det..måden hvor på man tænker og taler...Når jeg kigger på min webbank i dag, kommer jeg automatisk til at tænke på Auction House...og det fedt😀
watched this performance live last year with a couple of friends.. such an amazing concert, i will never forget it. wish i could be transported back to that evening.
If i would be there, i would cry like a baby. I appreciate their work and their performance, some of them maybe are fans also, but there is such much more than the music and the soundtracks. It's the experience of first time being in there, alone and find out for yourself what to do next in order to level and be stronger. Also, going through the story is one of the most crucial for a wholesome experience. I will never forget WoTLK. They say that "No king rules forever". Even to this day, WoTLK was the best expansion ever. It is the king through kings. And it forever will be.

Just wow!.You can feel the Righteousness then Courage ,followed by Anger ,faint Hope ,Sacrifice and finally the Damnation without knowing the character that this renditions is all about!
This is a very well performed piece. The Scinematic of Wrath of the Litch King was one of the strongest moments in gaming history for me. Although i stand on the point that the hight of the solo should be sung by a young choir boy as a matter of preference regarding the feeling that specific sound gives to the very peak of emotions i feel when listening to the song. Brings me back to the original feeling which i stil feel very strongly was a good memory.
I never even played WoW myself really, but my friend is huge Arthas enjoyer and showed me this song a long time ago. I've been hooked into it ever since and this version just takes it to new level. Wish I could just find myself in concert where they play this.
I really love this channel, I have experienced all the video games of my childhood in a new way while listening to your music. I just want to say thank you
here is a little repertoire .. but only a few WoW clasics .. think theres 4 or 5 among th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=world+of+warcraft+%2F%2F+the+danish+national+symphony+orchestra+%28live%29
Kæft hvor er det smukt! Elsker jeres videoer, så inspirerende for en tidligere WoW nørd, og nu dybt ung mand, der er dybt optaget af orkester musik :) Much love from Sønderborg
I experienced the tragic saga of Arthas Menethil in my childhood. I grew up with Warcraft's storytelling of this caliber. And I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Bravo, everyone from the Danish National Symphony Orchestra! The performance gave me goosebumps. I normally love my Swift Zulian Tiger, but now I'm gonna rock my Invincible with this song in the background! :D
I was with them tonight at DR Koncerthuset.. Part of me wished to hear this song live at there but other part of me didn't want it becouse i don't wan't to cry like a baby :)..
Arthas will always remain Blizzards greatest Masterpiece. This music is a testament to that.
idk, I like SC2's story too

When my days come to an end...you shall be KING!

I see only pandas before me
“Long live the king
May his reign last forever
May his strength...
Fail him never.”
The fact that top tier Orchestras keep playing this "song from a game" just shows how good this composition actually is.
Blizzard composers have proven multiple times that they're at the level of Hollywood composers, better than most of them even in my opinion
@@perseus1054 MUCH better than the vast majority of them.

Simply amazing. I have heard the original version by Blizzard a thousand times over. This is just as good...if not better. So emotional.
What a difference must it be to sit in front of your speakers or in front of a huge Symphony Orcestra and hear it there.
It was amazing live. I had a spot on the first balcony, front and center.
Even though the sound was amplified with loudspeakers, you could always tell where the individual sounds came from.
this version is way better
exactly
You should hear the cover by Munx Gregoriana.
I recall clearly the gleam of pride in his eye as he stood before me, eager to defeat the enemies of the Light...
Eager to defend his people, no matter the cost.
*It is this memory of Arthas that I choose to keep in my heart.*

for me Arthas is my beloved character
Tragic character.
This was one of the best written stories in Warcraft universe. Of course we had entire game for this plot, but still.
"My son, the day you were born, the very forests of lordaeron whispered the name... Arthas."
"My child, I watched with pride, as you grew into a weapon... of righteousness. Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom, and strength; and I know you will show restraint with exercising your great power. But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end, you shall be king."
FOR THE LICH KING!!!

By far the best version I've heard.
Beautifull! An old veteran Hardcore world of warcraft player listening to this. Alot of memories! Lovely! This is music friends this is music
2:36 is so damn powerful.
As a musician, i rank Russel Brower's composing ability as brilliant as great composers that we know. Genius
My respect for every single one of these musicians is absolutely unmesurable.
Thank you for such masterful interpretation.
Seeing professional orchestra's and choirs perform music from World of Warcraft is simply amazing. I can't appreciate it enough.

We all see Arthas from ourselves
Los ecos del pasado resuenan en tus recuerdos
Какое бесконечное удовольствие участвовать именно в этом исполнении композиции!
"Father...Is it over?"
"No, just press the replay button, my son"
More like... "No the mount didn't drop this week either"
"No, the raid resets on Tuesday, my son"
"No... We have a bug here now, and you and the Lich King are going to help us to fix it..."
"Wait... What?"
"You cannot resist my offer... My son"
"I agree... We have so many bugs today..."
The voice of the Lich King can be heard
"Aww man... I wanted to have fun but this is what happen"
"No game is alive forever when bugs and glitches is still in the game code, my son"
"I see... only recommends..."
Uther the Lightbringer: YEET!
You have no idea how much i wish i could see this live.
Where was this?
As a Danish man and Huge WoW fan. This is just too beautiful 😍😭
Enig :)
Det er satme også lige før jeg fælder en tåre her 😭😢

Lol the one random lady in the Orchestra wearing the Elf ears true dedication.
there are a few more.

So comforting and so regrettable at the same time. WotLK will *always* be the crown jewel of the Warcraft universe.
with Shadowlands and what they did to Arthas, WoW died with him...
@@thegermanempire489yea
Can you imagine if they did the Lament of the Highborne with that chorus?
Or Nightsong which is also quite pretty.

This one makes me drop few tears every time. Exceptional piece backed up with amazing story. Tragic story.
Meanwhile Im ugly crying every time I listen to it lol
Why can I only like this video once? I have listened to this whole concert at least a dozen times. What an absolutely gorgeous performance.
“Invincible” is a master piece
youtube algorithm brought me this masterpiece today, I close my eyes , and am immediately transported to that wonderful world.

Still one of the most beautifull pieces of music I have ever heard, a great fot for one of the most tragic villains in video game history
Beautiful. More from World of Warcraft
Nightsong would be amazing.
They did a few songs a few years ago as a part of "Gaming in Symphony". You can find the playlist on their channel.

To fellow batlemasters...to the kills we made..to the good times we had, I raise my glass...its a shame we getting old....
The DNSO are great as always, chills listening to them and the wonderful soloists
This still has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of gaming music ever written. Huge props to the singers nailing the Elvish!
Not really elvish. Its made up with Latin influences and other made up words from the WoW universe.
@@RippanYT Obviously it's not Elvish.
Its Common, the human tongue in WoW.
Listen to the Soul Reaver intro theme. No need to thank me.
It's not thalassian or darnassian it's common
I haven't had shivers like this in a while
Gözlerim doldu, bu nasıl bir performans
Souch an Amazing performance
Наиболее близкое к оригиналу исполнение на мой взгляд...Красавцы
I love to hear and see this orchestra. You are amazing.
I saw their “Viking” theme concert…..Holy hell..I was blown away
So beautiful song , just can cry and clap...
Blizzard produced the greatest piece of MMO music, and with Endwalker FFXIV gave us the greatest MMO story. I would die on this hill.
Damn the lead vocal is so fking amazing its the best i've heard so far, almost think im listening to the original--and this is LIVE!
I want to give this orchestra more thumbs!! It deserves all those thumbs!!
Can't go back that time
The whole golden time of wow
I hope they’ll do longer soundtracks next time. World of Warcraft isn’t a game it’s a culture.

Hail to the one true King of Azeroth. Am glad I played WOTLK. Greatest moment of WoW.
This song helped piece together my heart again. Keep at it, life get's better.
this is the best version of invincible out there. puts all the other orchestras to shame.
i like this performance even more than original OST!!! Just awesome!
Every time i listen this music i feel goosebamps.. few will understand what i mean...
