Absolutely. As both a musician and a Skyrim player I marvel at both the precision and accuracy of this piece to the original game, and the overall brilliance, articulation, and soul of the music itself. Well done, Kyle!
Thoe Snyder I pirated when it first came out, got obsessed with it and played it to death... Then felt guilty for pirating it and just bought it, and played again to death. Then college happened.
Jeremy Soule is a genius. The reason why Skyrim is loved all throughout the years is not just the gameplay, but the music itself too. I can't wait for TES V and I sincerely hope Jeremy Soule is still the composer.
you prolly dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Anthony Rene Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I know I'm seven years too late, but this is probably one of the best Skyrim pieces I've ever heard. Everything is on point. You capture every feeling and ambiance perfectly.
Simply magical. This is so inspired and pure. That Secunda one was so beautiful that I nearly cried, but all three movements melted my heart. Thank you for this!
Chills...everywhere. The nostalgia creeps out every time I listen to one of your piano solos. The memories of my past adventures are uncovered and persuade me to play through them once again. I only wish I could be as amazing at piano as you are.
It is not only about how he hits all of the notes. It is how he hits them too. You can sense the feeling; You can sense the influence Skyrim had on his childhood and who he is today. In addition, how he weaves the pieces together in an absolutely seamless fashion is remarkable.
I absolutely agree. Wonderful playing. You should check out his cover of great fairy fountain, the amount of emotion he puts in to that piece is astounding. I wish I could play like him.
I’m glad you don’t go in too hard on this. The “Dragonborn” theme is very heavy and epic, but the rest of the soundtrack is very mysterious and calm. Thanks for not making the mistake of pounding out every note.
In the eyes of the unworthy, he is just another pianist on youtube. But in the eyes of the worthy. Of the wise. He is a legend. I figure that stands above us all in these dark times. Like a rose in the concrete jungle, he stands alone. But that's enough because he fills the heart of the weary traveler with tales in the form of song. He sees no boundaries, and no borders in the way of where his songs lead us. Where they will take us we don't know. Only this man. Only Kyle Landry, can know.
from Spain only I have to tell you that you are amazing and thank you for playing songs that feeling, continue as you goand you will see how do you up. Thanks, please people, give him a like
Truer words have never been spoken. Kyle should truly be an inspiration to anyone who has ever thought of playing piano. Beautiful music, and within it, raw emotion of the music captured on those keys.
This is much, much better than ingame... I did not enjoy the real soundtracks like i do with this version. Discovered this version only about two weeks ago and replayed it dozens of times. My favorite work from you mister Landry. The best music I have heard in some time
Is it just me, or are the songs that resemble Oblivion's music much more enjoyable than the rest? Not saying any of the others are bad, it's just when I hear those certain themes (I'm sure you can pick up on the similarities) something happens in my head that connects my adventures of Cyrodiil to this game, it's not exactly old enough in my memory for full on nostalgia but it's there.
Probably because the original compositions which don't draw on inspiration from Oblivion and Morrowind, are really, really crap. I've downloaded an entire music replacer mod, simply because I hate the majority of the OST for Skyrim.
What an incredible composition, you've absolutely done Skyrim and it's soundtrack justice, very much in the league of the masterpiece itself. Beautiful job. A classic
Reminds me of when I used to leave my character standing by the river in Whiterun, hear the chatter, hear the forest, hear the creek, and the music would play on..... I would leave my console on just for that and use it as study music lol
Awesome job Kyle, I think a huge underrating happens for TES music that isn't the main theme, and you really brought out the beauty of those songs. And yes Oblivion/Morrowind/Skyrim have the same composer so the themes are similar, excellent nonetheless!
Exactly what I was looking for~ As much fun it is to blare the main theme, it is lovely to see acknowledgement to the other pieces that have more of that "tranquil beauty" working through them. Thank you for sharing your work!
I love the way how you don't just read the music..you seem like you FEEL the music...You are mesmerizing to watch, and listen to cause not everyday you find someone who puts so much feeling into the music they play. I love it. I myself am learning piano and want to be as good as you someday ^^ You are brilliant keep up the good work. hugs and loves
Wow. You put so much emotion into this. It really shows. I think musically, emotion is the most important element of a performance. It gives the performance purpose. This performance has purpose. Well done.
Kyle as usual you never cease To amaze us your fans!! I love The shading and your touch on The KEYS. You put your whole heart and soul into this your craft and talent dude keep up the good work my friend
Kyle Landry.. You sit are the master of piano. I have been loving all of you music ever since I have been introduced to it. As well as enjoying you music I have learnt al lot on how to play better with my music. Music changes lives and your music has changed mine. You probably have so many comments like this and you won't see it but you are my biggest inspiration and everyone should listen to your music and fall in love with it as I have. Such amazing music. Such an amazing guy. Kyle Landry...
You're hands truly dance over the keys. You are so amazingly talented. I especially love your Disney stuff but I couldn't help but stop at Skyrim.... LOVE thats game!
TH-cam recommended the other skyrim video to me. Im glad it did! How amazing you are. I hope you'll never stop playing. This is my favorite cover now. Subscribed!
smart to separate the main theme from this medley! One of the best parts of Skyrim was strolling through its peaceful areas as Soule's calming music complimented my shopping and smithing activities
It is for me. Everything you need to know about reading sheets and music theory is pretty much right here on the internet. I've never had lessons or used synthesia when learning a song. It's not that hard. Trust me.
I've tried learning, it is pretty hard for me. And I'd love to take the time to learn how to read sheet music but I simply don't have the time at the moment. :) Learning on synthesia is dead easy though, literally just copying what they're doing.
This is seriously perfect, you have indeed scorched the fire that is my love for TES series and I am downloading the games again as we speak! Well Done, Cheers!

So beautiful. I didn't think these tracks could get much more beautiful than they originally were, but it seems that the piano holds some kind of magic of making everything a little bit mote beautiful :3
This is going to be my go-to-sleep music and every night i'm going to have dreams about adventures in skyrim with this epic medley playing in the background! Amazing stuff!
is there anything you can't play? I love skyrim... the elder scrolls as a whole, really. This is definitely going in my favorites. keep up the amazing work
Two Handed increased to 100.
Seriously you are one of the best piano players I have ever heard.
im screaming internally at how precise and perfect this is omg. only true skyrim players will understand.
yaaas
Absolutely. As both a musician and a Skyrim player I marvel at both the precision and accuracy of this piece to the original game, and the overall brilliance, articulation, and soul of the music itself. Well done, Kyle!
It gave me goosebumps man .
The music always make me wants to play again. But then again, one doesn't simply quit Skyrim.
lol...
is it sad that i have paid for Skyrim like 5 times... lol. the last time i got it from the steam sell sooooo. lol
Thoe Snyder I pirated when it first came out, got obsessed with it and played it to death... Then felt guilty for pirating it and just bought it, and played again to death. Then college happened.
My game always crash after 20mins playing and i just keeping playing :))) cant get rid of this game :D
If it crash then fix it bro, you're missing out :/
Jeremy Soule is a genius. The reason why Skyrim is loved all throughout the years is not just the gameplay, but the music itself too. I can't wait for TES V and I sincerely hope Jeremy Soule is still the composer.
+Juriel Primary If he isnt I will probably cry
Could you imagine the community's reaction if they changed Jeremy Soule?
+Juriel Primary Oblivion came out 10 years ago ;) If you don't know the difference between IV and VI just say 4 or 6.
TheDyslexiaLove
I hope it will be worth it to wait for. I think FO4 didn't met the hype it was given.
Haven't played any of the Fallout yet but I loved Skyrim and played a little Oblivion
"The gods gave you two hands, and you use them both for your weapon. I can respect that."
Let me guess. Someone stole your sweet roll?
Jeff Fuhrman i kill guards just for saying that
In the name of the Jarl! Stop right here!!
Amazing comment
That was on point. Nice
This is so beautiful, Kyle!
You too
you prolly dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Madden Dakari instablaster :)
@Anthony Rene Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now.

Yes, YES
Guard might get nervous, a man approaches with his weapon drawn.
I always thought that line would make a great intro to a gay porno
Simply magical. This is so inspired and pure. That Secunda one was so beautiful that I nearly cried, but all three movements melted my heart. Thank you for this!
Kyle Landry I'll never be grateful enough for all of these covers. Music is life, and yours is really special to me. Greetings from France
Some may call this junk... Me, I call them treasures
Plenty of Used Condoms here... come pick em up
7 years later and it's still absolutely amazing.
Chills...everywhere. The nostalgia creeps out every time I listen to one of your piano solos. The memories of my past adventures are uncovered and persuade me to play through them once again. I only wish I could be as amazing at piano as you are.
This song is epically innocent, calm and emotional.. I'd really love to play this before I die..
"And you will be named 'PianoBorn'"
+Lbridge90 Lava "But, there is one they fear. In their tongue, he is Ozinveyhaalkiin- Pianoborn! FA RE DO!"
@Skyler Dammit! You beat me to that joke!
better get to other piano vids of this song
Cringe
Doesn't matter how many times I listen this medley, I always be happy with myself, and get calm. It's simply amazing this version.
Sheet Music: mnot.es/2hMFiAs
kylelandry Can you please make a remix of Ancient Stones?
It is not only about how he hits all of the notes. It is how he hits them too. You can sense the feeling; You can sense the influence Skyrim had on his childhood and who he is today.
In addition, how he weaves the pieces together in an absolutely seamless fashion is remarkable.
I absolutely agree. Wonderful playing. You should check out his cover of great fairy fountain, the amount of emotion he puts in to that piece is astounding. I wish I could play like him.
My dream to play piano someday, and the dream won't fade away, specially after listening to your music. So, thank you good sir. xD
Then go out! Right now! Go and get yourself a standard size keyboard! DO IT! NOW! :)
Listen to what they are saying. Start as early as you can. :D
nekomimint
dude I hope that I knew the piano 4 years ago , how r u now ? R u a pianist ? XD
He plays so beautifully. May his adoration bring true.
How you can tell he puts his entire soul into his fingers as he plays, his face.
I’m glad you don’t go in too hard on this. The “Dragonborn” theme is very heavy and epic, but the rest of the soundtrack is very mysterious and calm. Thanks for not making the mistake of pounding out every note.
Khajiit has subscription, if you have piano...

Great job as always
That phrasing and tone at 1:00 AMAZING DUDE!
I love how you play Ancient stones. beautiful!
I'm 21 and I find piano music so peacful...it's just a calming instrument :)
no need to be surprised that ppl find it useful as a lullaby :)
from Spain only I have to tell you that you are amazing and thank you for playing songs that feeling, continue as you goand you will see how do you up. Thanks, please people, give him a like
Truer words have never been spoken. Kyle should truly be an inspiration to anyone who has ever thought of playing piano. Beautiful music, and within it, raw emotion of the music captured on those keys.
Trying to learn how to play ancient stones... You're the boss! Can't believe how good it sounds..!
Old, but gold. I'm currently replaying Skyrim again and I thought I'd come back to listen to your covers. Beautiful playing as always.
It's hard for me to believe this game is 2 years old already...
Still one of my favourite games and I will continue to go back to it.
Time flies my friend, already 3 :)
4 now...
The Special Edition came out October 2016
Hextechie 6 in November
Skyrim's music is so beutiful, Kyle, your passion and talent gives you not the gift of the voice, but the gift of the music. Simply amazing.
Very nice.
It's rare to see comments from famous youtubers before they got famous.
This is much, much better than ingame... I did not enjoy the real soundtracks like i do with this version. Discovered this version only about two weeks ago and replayed it dozens of times.
My favorite work from you mister Landry. The best music I have heard in some time
Is it just me, or are the songs that resemble Oblivion's music much more enjoyable than the rest? Not saying any of the others are bad, it's just when I hear those certain themes (I'm sure you can pick up on the similarities) something happens in my head that connects my adventures of Cyrodiil to this game, it's not exactly old enough in my memory for full on nostalgia but it's there.
I have exactly the same. I think it's because Oblivion left a far greater memory.
Probably because the original compositions which don't draw on inspiration from Oblivion and Morrowind, are really, really crap. I've downloaded an entire music replacer mod, simply because I hate the majority of the OST for Skyrim.
TheDeadlyPianist
And Jeremy Soule hates you.
***** No offence to the guy, I just really don't like it. :(
I understand some people love it. Just not me.
Fair enough, man. Cheers!
This is so beautiful, and seeing you play it so flawlessly makes it sound better
After I heard this I started to play skyrim with maximum music in setting.
Secunda was my favorite song from the OST, and you managed to make it better. Amazing.
I used to be an pianist too, but then I took an piano to the knee.
lmao XD
stop that... shouting. it's freaking people out.
No lollygaggin'
oh what now, someone stole your sweetroll?
At least it wasn't a banjo. We all remember what happened to that "O Susanna" guy on his way back from Alabama. Sad story.
What an incredible composition, you've absolutely done Skyrim and it's soundtrack justice, very much in the league of the masterpiece itself. Beautiful job. A classic
I listen to this everyday.
Same here !
Are you still listening?
This is how perfection sounds like.
Reminds me of when I used to leave my character standing by the river in Whiterun, hear the chatter, hear the forest, hear the creek, and the music would play on..... I would leave my console on just for that and use it as study music lol
this reminds me of the beautiful nights in skyrim where you just walk around the nature and enjoy the scenery, the nightsky above you..
[dramatic flashback]
To heating this in an ice cave then suddenly a troll comes up from behind and kills you
+Kasi Karuppan hearing*
*remember when i first met a giant
Awesome job Kyle, I think a huge underrating happens for TES music that isn't the main theme, and you really brought out the beauty of those songs. And yes Oblivion/Morrowind/Skyrim have the same composer so the themes are similar, excellent nonetheless!
You should do a Morrowind medley. I liked this medley, but the Morrowind OST was so much more magical.
Exactly what I was looking for~ As much fun it is to blare the main theme, it is lovely to see acknowledgement to the other pieces that have more of that "tranquil beauty" working through them.
Thank you for sharing your work!
Ancient Stones variations please.
I love the way how you don't just read the music..you seem like you FEEL the music...You are mesmerizing to watch, and listen to cause not everyday you find someone who puts so much feeling into the music they play. I love it. I myself am learning piano and want to be as good as you someday ^^ You are brilliant keep up the good work. hugs and loves
who else spotted the LoZ poster in the backround?
This is the best piano cover i've ever heard for skyrim!
*Thumbs Up
Who didn't?
Wow... Hearing this brings back so many memories... Especially wondering around skyrim for the first time.
wings of kynareth i would like to hear a cover from you of that song from jeremy soule, oblivion game.
You are probably one of the best piano players I've seen on TH-cam, especially for skyrim songs, they are so spot on! keep up the good work, man!
_Kyle Landry shot an arrow in my knee and then forcefully removed this comment using Fus ro Dah._
loloolo
Name change??
Wow. You put so much emotion into this. It really shows. I think musically, emotion is the most important element of a performance. It gives the performance purpose. This performance has purpose. Well done.
I used to be a pianist like you, then I took an arrow in the knee
+Geert van der Hamsvoort Do you play with your knees or something? o_O
+Yao Tang I was a very special pianist
You must play a very special piano too XD
You're lucky, I took a grand piano to the body. Damn thing fell from the sky! Dragons ain't got no grip.
Kind of good in a way, you don't need knees to play the piano this well. What's your next excuse?
I cant put words to describe your work, that first song ... speechless.
Ancient Stones the best !
I agree!
Kyle as usual you never cease To amaze us your fans!! I love The shading and your touch on The KEYS. You put your whole heart and soul into this your craft and talent dude keep up the good work my friend
Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red,
Who came riding to Whiterun from-- Oh...
Aryzen Inniriea Rorikstead
And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no MORRRREEEE...
when his ugly red head rolled around on the floor.
Gnerdeek
Ayyyyyy!
Your skills for expressing the music with the piano blow me away. Seriously. Keep up the awesome work!!
Please do something from oblivion
That game is such a damn goldmine for music... so many good tracks on the OST
heres to bethesda for giving a crap about the music in their games
The good old days
You never cease to amaze me every video you post, especially when you're playing Skyrim music. Keep it up!

HAHAHAHA! Reddit much? :P
XCoNGAMMA88 Playing the actual game much?
Fun fact: Arrow to the knee is nord slang for: I Got married
Garrus Vakarian
well have you ever tried being married and a god ?
Garrus Vakarian Ahhhhhhh
Now THAT makes sense X )
TH-cam recommended the other skyrim video to me. Im glad it did! How amazing you are. I hope you'll never stop playing. This is my favorite cover now. Subscribed!
Ancient Stones :'3
You make the themes sound even better. And I can't be more grateful to that.
_This comment was removed for being four years too late_
not just babies, i use all your music to help me sleep as ive been having troubles sleeping, beautiful piano is always a cure all ! :')
1:58 nice facial expression
I laughed hard there XD
nothing for laughting here ,those are pure emotions
smart to separate the main theme from this medley! One of the best parts of Skyrim was strolling through its peaceful areas as Soule's calming music complimented my shopping and smithing activities
ahh you deserve more views for this video... get a marketing or PR manger... :)
8 years later and this is still my favorite.
Can you do a synthesia because I can't read sheet music. :'(
plz plz plz plz
IAmTehRulz Google is your friend for learning how to read sheet music.
Ryan692 not very efficient though :P
It is for me. Everything you need to know about reading sheets and music theory is pretty much right here on the internet. I've never had lessons or used synthesia when learning a song. It's not that hard. Trust me.

That is gorgeous, I love it when you play like this. Especially the slow bits get right under my skin.
Khajiit wishes you well.
May your food be sweet and your bed warm
The road makes this one weary
At least it will lead you to warm sands...
There are simply no words to describe how beautiful this is

Got the shivers just 20 seconds into the video. Amazing as usual!
close your mouth :3
How about you stfu?

Even he is in awe of what he has made
So beautiful. I didn't think these tracks could get much more beautiful than they originally were, but it seems that the piano holds some kind of magic of making everything a little bit mote beautiful :3
It gives such another dimension to these songs. Beautiful!
This is going to be my go-to-sleep music and every night i'm going to have dreams about adventures in skyrim with this epic medley playing in the background! Amazing stuff!
I so love to see you reading music. Finally, you're normal like the rest of us.
is there anything you can't play? I love skyrim... the elder scrolls as a whole, really. This is definitely going in my favorites. keep up the amazing work
