It's sad how his music is often underestimated "because it was in a videogame, so it's not really classical music". People don't really realise that those are excellent pieces of their own.
I'm pretty sure Heroes 3 will stay relevant for a long time. So the music will stick with many of us. In a way this music is heard much more often than other music because of the game.

The fact that he doesn't even have a paper with the notes on to help him play this makes him even more amazing. As if making the music wasn't good enough. He also memorized them all.
After symphonic concert in my city with himself there were two guys presented and applauded that have heard and sorta translated the music to notes. While we weren't told the details, I believe it's true that he didn't write them down according to the fact that Paul himself said that these two did that whole work
you know when 100 years old people listen to freaking old piano music, when i'll be old, i'll listen to his. People will ask: "hey, who's the fcking god that made those beauties" Then i'll answer:"Ah man, these are made by Paul Anthony Romeo"
This is weird to watch him play those songs. The music from Heroes 3 fits so well with the game that I never really stopped to think that someone actually composed them. It was as if they had become part of the game already.
well let be honest without his music heroes never be the same. when music melting over the land you have infront of your eyes you can just sit and be taken away, spirited away
I always thougth the composer of those songs must be a genius, until I looked him up on Wikipedia: This guy really is incredible! He was a child prodigy, composing his first concerto at the age of 13, which was actually premiered by the United States National Symphony Orchestra with him as the first piano!
27:13 This part of the Necropolis theme always gave me, since childhood, that strange feeling that there is always something to lose, that any upcoming time becomes past time in the end. It feels extremely sad but hopeful at the same time. I guess I'm lacking some vocabulary to fully explain this bouquet of emotions. It was wonderful to hear this music played on a single piano. Thank you for the sweet tears of remembrance.
He visited Budapest for a concert and the Hungarian Heroes Fans asked him todo this. I added a link to the description for more explanation and gallery.
After listening to Heroes Orchestra i'm used to these pieces in arrangements for symphonic orchestra with choir, but they are also great when performed on a single piano. Great stuff.
First time I played Heroes III when I had 7-8 years old. Now I am 21 years old, and that game isn't bored me. Sorry for my English. That language is not my native language.
He has been playing piano for 45 years now, started at the age of 3 now he is 48. And he started composing HOMM soundtracks in 1994. Its over 20 years, no wonder how he can play a whole hour without a single piano sheet. What a pity is that he has stopped working for new world computing/ ubisoft... Meh the soul of the series has gone...
I have played for 12 years and my ability is greatly diminished when I have to read sheets. It's much better without them. You can't even read a double hand sheet with bpm gusto and crescent as fast as he's playing. Just look at how he plays necro. It is not humanly possible to follow a sheet like that. It's just used as an instruction manual to get good at a piece. Not very useful after that.
The creator himself of the Heroes of Might and Magic series music himself sits down to recreate some of his themes on piano. How god-damn amazing isnt that?! Paul Anthony Romero will always go down in my memory as one of the best musical creators alive along with John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore and many others. I have spoken!
First time I saw this video I thought "this guy is a Heroes maniac. Why would he learn so many heroes songs?!?". It turns out he is more than maniac - he composed them all...
+HeroesTeamHun What was that thing they started playing after 43:45 and 50:50 ? Was that after or before the end? Because there's a cut in the video there. And who is the Saxophone guy?
Thank you! Just in case some Chrome users (that was my case) are getting a red screen warning about malicious software - don't take it seriously, this is a direct link to an MP3 file, it's legit.
At the beginning of this he should have everyone raise their hand as he calls out each game name to see what games everyone has played. Then he'd have a better feel for the room and the ice would be broken faster. Really great performance, loved every second.
Бро , нас не мало на самом деле, Пол у каждого из нас здесь в душе, в сердце, и каждый раз открывая эту игру , вспоминая время в районе 7-8 лет, меня хватает ступор, моторика отказала, мысли детством, Денис 30)
Oh my god it took me a lot of research to find Heroes I themes over youtube, now I even found the guy who actually composed the melodies that are still ringing in my ears regularly even to this day! Amazing, thanks for the upload! I am feeling nostalgic right now, and trying to figure out how to run this very old game on my device :D
Just as he started playing the Necropolis theme, it started raining outside..wow. Paul, your songs bring these games to life. You're a genius. Thanks for the nice memories.
Frequently revisiting this video to run in the background while on work. Always getting into the kind of mental state of nostalgic happy even though the music is more sad I would say. Thanks for providing the soundtrack of our youths, truly amazing! A true heroes III fan.
Mindegyik zene egész jó volt a Heroesból. A heroes is ott van a kedvenc játék szériáim között. Örülök, hogy megtaláltam ezt a csatornát is, csak kár, hogy nem igazán aktív. Egész durva belegondolni, hogy már a Heroes 6 is ilyen öreg játék. Sajnos a videójáték zenéket lenézik, mert igazából csak azokra a zenékre fókuszálnak az emberek, amik magukban jelennek meg, pedig ez egy igazi kincs, amit nem lenne szabad elfelejtsenek az emberek. Köszönjük szépen ezeket a zenéket Paul.
Portalguy1000 I know that. Yet still HoMM4 OST outdid the 3rd game. It's not about "my opinion is importantier than yours" childplay, since I don't want to impose anything. The music in both games is great, but 4th has better quality and much better blending with backgrounds, while certain bits of HoMM3 music required to simply turn down the volume, or they were deafening.
Breathtaking. Is there somewhere this variation of the Tower theme in good audio quality? In general, all pieces performed at this concert must be recorded separately.
Man, heroes 4 music is something out of this world. This man touches the piano and it sings. What a legend, thank you for inventing the soul of HMM games, Paul.
Герои 3 - качественный саундтрек , идеально подошёл к этой стратегии, передаёт атмосферу. Видимо постарались над этим хорошо. Темы замков совершенно различны и неоднообразны.
Am I the only that thinks this concert should have been played in a fully booked concert hall ??(on a 3.08 Fazioly piano ! :) He sound very modest and very lovely person to me. Great video !!
Wow, opened with the original theme from HoMM1. I knew it sounded familiar, but didn't realize it was from that long ago. Brings back some nice memories from simple times.
I'm sure that a professional artist could have a more informed opinion on this, but from the point of view of a non-musically inclined person, his skill on the piano is epic. Combined with the fact that he composed the music, I am in awe, and I'm absolutely certain that everyone else listening to this then and there was the same.
I am a music lover. Sound engineer. But I always ignored operas ... Until I heard operas from HOMM2 and HOMM4. It affected me so deeply that I began to look for similar melodic parts from operas and separately cut myself for listening. And of course, for many years I have been listening to music from Heroes. Some things from HOMM3 are at the level of masterpieces of classical music, such as “In the Cave of the Mountain King” or as “Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata”. I respect Paul, a very talented composer.
Although the small piano with its very limited timbre and the bad tuning of the highest notes must have been a real pain for the Master while performing this incredible and outstanding event (perfectly comprehensible with your experience at the time, as you said: good piano, good tuning and good hammer voicing can do just apparently small, but definitely sensible differences in the end result) I think is a very big opportunity for both music listeners and also game players to see the composer, playing by hands all the music always listened as midi (soundfont) score by the game. He plays magnificently, with passion, the same passion of a gamer while playing Heroes 3 for the first time; and makes his own music without score nor breaks for 53 minutes long. I say thank you for all the marvellous work done here, with the concert, the video, the pics and the CD version and obviously the Heroes community! I wondered about the possibility to buy the whole recording, still today.
Fantastic video! These songs are forever burned in my brain. I will still occasionally play HOMM 2, 17 years after first playing it. HOMM2 is amazing because new things can always be done in a scenario.
The execution of the Necropolis is nothing short of brilliant. I wish this video was in better quality. It's a shame not to be able to hear that performance very clearly.
I've been playing HOMM series up until now... The music has been always the soul of the game itself....and even bring back memories whenever I heard those extraordinary musics. Thank you so much.
We made it in 2011 but nowdays we could made it in 1080p or even 4K. Glad that you like it ! As time goes by the technique grows way better and better.
WOW! Thanks so much Paul A. Romero, your compositions for the Heroes sequel really made me a fan of that game and yourself for my entire life and beyond. I will always play HOMM3 just to hear those awesome sounds that rejuvenates my mind bringing me to when I was young playing a game that addicted me, it was perfect in every aspect, the immersion of your music on this specific game is something that so strong that i have no words to describe.
My childhood. BTW Even now after 20 years when i hear the Stronghold III i have some feeling i have to hurry :) I was playing barbarian campaing one day and had to learn on exam :) I couldnt get out of it to learn, until i finished the level. This feeling surface even after 20 years :) was 13 then. Sweet memories
As much as it is part of the Heroes universe, Paul's music is a masterpiece in its own merit. You don't have to play the games to love it, but everyone who played them, knows the music is their essential part. Thank you from the bottom of my heart mr Romero.
Albinum If you mean the music, I kind of have to disagree :P though this may be just the nostalgia talking If it is the gameplay you mean, I unfortunately haven't played Heroes of Might and Magic III yet, and even though I have it, I don't have time for it at the moment, so I can't say anything heh
I loved the new ideas in HoMM 4, but the marionette-esque animations always make me wanna stab my eyes. If the games graphical style was comparable to HoMM3, which was actually worse in resolution but had more "magic", HoMM4 would probably be the superior game.
It's a shame. I'm personally a huge fan of his music, and I actually listen to him whenever I want to relax. My studying for the law school wouldn't be the same without his music :)... I really owe him very much, such a great composer!
It's sad how his music is often underestimated "because it was in a videogame, so it's not really classical music". People don't really realise that those are excellent pieces of their own.
people have no chance to realize it, 'cause video game music doesn't get as much exposure as any other.
I listened to many modern classic composers, but he is really the best of them.
protip: piss people off by playing great music from games and tell them the truth after they admit it's super epic and want to know the title
I'm pretty sure Heroes 3 will stay relevant for a long time. So the music will stick with many of us. In a way this music is heard much more often than other music because of the game.
I'd argue it is even better than a lot of classical music, not all classical music are truely "classical", some are just old...
Paul Romero - the only person who can make HoMM adult fans cry...
thechosen So...so true.
+thechosen indeed
+thechosen You mean Ubisoft, right?
Elton ElArts Ubisoft did not make the music, and some songs are from older series such as II, IV. which were made under 3DO.

He never wrote them mate, I've asked him for them..

This is weird to watch him play those songs. The music from Heroes 3 fits so well with the game that I never really stopped to think that someone actually composed them. It was as if they had become part of the game already.
Truly a testament to the excellent presentation of the game!
Right!!
Indeed. Listen to those. i can already see the 3000 peasants trying to poke on stack of 1 purple dragon.
even more impressive considering the fact that Paul never played any heroes of might and magic game :D

My childhood. BTW Even now after 20 years when i hear the Stronghold III i have some feeling i have to hurry :) I was playing barbarian campaing one day and had to learn on exam :) I couldnt get out of it to learn, until i finished the level. This feeling surface even after 20 years :) was 13 then. Sweet memories
P. A. Romero Thank you for giving Heores games their souls :) without your music they would be just games but thanks to you they are masterpieces!
Epic. This composer deserves more than just a pianino :-)
These musics demand a grand piano :-)
As you wish www.youtube.com/@HeroesOrchestra
As much as it is part of the Heroes universe, Paul's music is a masterpiece in its own merit. You don't have to play the games to love it, but everyone who played them, knows the music is their essential part. Thank you from the bottom of my heart mr Romero.
HOMM IV Academy of Honor...
So damn good, and now in piano
This is perfect
I would say HOMM IV is a downgrade from HOMM III
Albinum If you mean the music, I kind of have to disagree :P though this may be just the nostalgia talking
If it is the gameplay you mean, I unfortunately haven't played Heroes of Might and Magic III yet, and even though I have it, I don't have time for it at the moment, so I can't say anything heh
Diogo Cerqueira Yeah, the Music is slightly better, but the gameplay & Graphics are 10 times better on HOMM III
Albinum Oh neat, I'm gonna see if I'm able to play it this summer.
I loved the new ideas in HoMM 4, but the marionette-esque animations always make me wanna stab my eyes. If the games graphical style was comparable to HoMM3, which was actually worse in resolution but had more "magic", HoMM4 would probably be the superior game.
The world would be less without Paul
Stronghold Theme from HoMM3 is probably my absolute favourite piece of music from any game, Paul Romero is such a great composer!
Romero, you are amazing.thank you for making my childhood epic with your soundtracks in HOMM series :)
This man is a Genius.
Heroes 2 Sorceress, Heroes 3 Necropolis and Heroes 4 Academy are my favorite town themes.
This is the greatest thing that happened to TH-cam.
It's a shame. I'm personally a huge fan of his music, and I actually listen to him whenever I want to relax. My studying for the law school wouldn't be the same without his music :)... I really owe him very much, such a great composer!
