***Rey's rendition of "Lost Painting" is by far THE BEST on You Tube*** No argument whatsoever! Again and again after listening to his version, it never gets old and is just as good if not better than the first time when I heard it. Thanks again my friend for sharing this beautiful piece with the world, you are a tremendous talent that I admire and seek influence from.
When played on a piano, i get such a different take on it. No disrespect to the video game version, because I love it. But on the piano , it seems so heroic, yet the goal of the hero seems unattainable, the struggle….eternal and beautiful at the same time. Really epitomizes the whole story of the Belmont's in the Castlevania franchise.
Onlyrealmusic4life I believe he's referring to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, a recent reboot of the series. It's not part of the original timeline, though.
Still the best interpretation on TH-cam, i've been listening to this since 2007 So where you at? From the time you started until now you could be a giant TH-cam partner making tons of money!!
Hi Rey. I'm going through some things, right now, and came back across this rendition which helped me cope. It's the best rendition of Lost Painting that I think exists, and I've been collecting hundreds of GB of game music since the early 2000s. Don't interpret this as pressure, because you should live life for you own aims and not for others, but I just thought you should know that you're great at what you do, and I think there will be people here on TH-cam to appreciate your music should you decide to post new piano arrangements of game songs.
i admire piano players so much... i took many years of lessons and always found piano to be very difficult. guitar was like playing a baby's toy next to piano. idk if guitar just fit me better or what. but it's so much easier to get very good at guitar (and i'm not even talking about electric guitar, power chord type stuff; i play a lot of finger picking acoustic and classical guitar). i remember two years into piano and i was still doing toddler songs... "paddle the canoe down the river; paddle paddle paddle. one two three..." i just couldn't get into it enough to buckle down. the first night i had my first acoustic guitar, i learned to play a majority of the good Eagles songs (along with, of course, most other three chord classic folk rock songs; lol). a year in and i was playing Led Zep, Paul Simon, and RHCP. of course, i still can't begin to emulate James Taylor's warm fluid sound of perfection; he's just way too good. but guitar was so fun to learn and that's my point: it's about the desire to invest your entire focus into it. anyway, thanx for reading. all apologies if tmi was a waste of your time.
Wow! Forget the game - the timing of this performance is astounding! This is REAL music played without clocking or digitization and the execution is outrageous. I'm floored. Thank you for sharing your talent and the many hours you have spent honing it. -gaijin.
Magical. I love when people add some of their own into the music. I love how you are slowly adding strength and keeping the softness at the same time. Really magical.
I have waited twenty years for you to make this video so i could sing along at home. I always knew you would do a wonderful job. Thank you for loving this music and big ups to the composer who gave this to us all to enjoy.
I still love going back to your channel and watch you perform tracks Castlevania from it because it brings me nostalgia from the time you recently uploaded this. I wish I had the time to learn how to play like you, but I’m glad to have stumbled on your channel even since I was younger. 💖
You are an extremely talented individual, iv never listened to music with such passion such as the music you have produced, and the fact that you play you're music by ear shows you are a truly gifted individual, thank you for sharing this masterpiece.
This is one of the most famous pieces from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Very good game, I believe it was the last sidescroller made for a console system. Worth a playthrough or five for anyone who hasn't played it. Very nicely done btw.
Seriously impressive. This song has been a long since standing favorite of mine for years, and watching you play it brings tears to my eyes. I add this to my favs over a year ago, and have listened to it countless times. Beautiful.
Such a beautiful & haunting melody. The piano is the only instrument capable of presenting this song in its purest form. Thanks for all your hard work & dedication.
You really managed to capture the eeriness of this song, as well as the mystique and intrigue that it kind of summons in you. A lot of emotion. I like it.
This is without doubt the most beautiful song in the game and in my top 10 favorite videogame themes of all time. This is a beautiful cover of the theme and I thank you for that.
AWESOME! You finally uploaded some more stuff, and what's more, it's Lost Painting which is definitely the most beautiful song from SotN IMO. I love this!
You play the whole piece not just the piano parts and you balance the delicacy and overpowering nature of the best Castlevania tunes very well. Bravo! Seriously, I'm excited that you've done this.
Ah so beautiful and so personal. You are really gifted with the piano. I'm looking to play this song one day, but never as you, you give it an emotion that no one else can manage.
Absolutely beautiful. ;_; I love the little tweaks you made to the original, especially the ending. I could imagine this being played at an actual concert.
You sir are AMAZING!!! Brings back so many good memories :) I showed my GF this video and she said "What is this? I don't wanna listen to this, put on some Katy Perry" She was never seen again...
often, when i come home from work and drinking a beer, i find myself coming back to listen to this wonderfull peace of music. gives me goosebumps everytime. :)
As long as I cant afford such a piano, i can't start train myself on playing the piano. But so I can watch others playing songs that you keep in mind for ages... Man, your "version" of this song is epic :A Keep it up, you got the skill ^.^
You really did a great job, even in the parts where you made the song yours. I really like the original so i've been trying to find a youtube post that is as close as possible. You pretty much are the closest thing. Keep up the good work.
Your interpritation of this song makes me feel like I am dancing in clouds of mystical colours. It's a beautiful mixture of romance, tragedy and perserverance. I love your music and I hope to hear more of your compositions. You are a very talented and passionate musician! Keep up the great work!
this is absolutely gorgeous. i love your version of bloody tears as well. methinks it has something to do with the quality of your piano as well as your skill
I have listened to this many, many times and it never gets old. I could listen to it a thousand times more. It's beautiful in a haunting, saddening way. I love it!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!! wow, wonderful arrangement, especially since you play by ear and it is your own. ignore these haters, buddy, you are great! i thoroughly enjoyed that.
Awesome. The first thing that comes to my head when I listen your version. Also it's impressive the enthusiasm, effort and passion you put on playing. Just keep on it ;).
I have just heard to your Bloody Tears song. This song I think is more elaborated, since it belongs to a Play Station game. Hence, I have seen how you perfrom so well on the piano. Keep going, cheers. I just love your piano music!
5* This is my all time favorite song on Piano and you nailed it to perfection (I've seen MANY try). I know it's sounds cliche', but it is evident that you performed this piece with astounding emotion and passion... marvelous and outstanding! Thank you so mush for sharing this video rey. Bravo.
It's one of my favorite song, and your "home made" version with some differents touch give something special. Really surprising and good for the ears :]
I really love this song. Plus you play by ear too! I'm never that talented especially when it comes to listening and playing afterwards. I hope that someday I can learn this song.
Lost Painting is by far one of my favorite tracks in Symphony of the Night. I'd love to hear your rendition of The Garden Forgotten by Time (which ties for my favorite track alongside of House of Sacred Remains from Lament of Innocence) Great job on this, I've got chills, bro!
Rey, this is beautiful. I would gladly pay for a CD with this music, and your version of Bloody Tears is flawless. Consider putting your music up for download somewhere, you have a fan here.
This song inspired me to start playing piano.
awesome!! how you going with the piano? :D
You made a good choice then
Omg it's Eric, What's up?
Incredible. Still nobody this good 12 years later!! We need an HD REMAKE!! LOL
someone said the piano was slightly out of tune. maybe thats it or this dude is just a musical incubus.
:)

16 years and still THAT GOOD... and we keep on counting the years ...
That long….hurt me more!
Still hearing this master piece after 16 years, greetings from Mexico 🙂
Out of all the piano version of this song here on youtube, you're the best.
***Rey's rendition of "Lost Painting" is by far THE BEST on You Tube***
No argument whatsoever! Again and again after listening to his version, it never gets old and is just as good if not better than the first time when I heard it. Thanks again my friend for sharing this beautiful piece with the world, you are a tremendous talent that I admire and seek influence from.

***** Which game was that? I stopped playing after SOTN. Actually I played Lament of Innocence but I don't remember the story at all.
Uhhh yeah. This song is in SOTN and the only Belmont in that game is a minor antagonist. SOTN is all about Alucard and his daddy issues.
Onlyrealmusic4life
I believe he's referring to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, a recent reboot of the series. It's not part of the original timeline, though.
***** Wasn't "Unless of course you factor in the reboots' origin story tying the Belmont bloodline directly to Dracula." referring to LoS?
I have a more different feeling. It feels more "sadder" in piano, for me.
After years and years I still come here and think "Damn... still the best arrangement of this OST after 14 years"
Me too. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. 14 years, wow....still love it
Still the best interpretation on TH-cam, i've been listening to this since 2007
So where you at? From the time you started until now you could be a giant TH-cam partner making tons of money!!
JHinsonMusic Maybe he just wanted to do it for fun or love, not precisely for money.
HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL!

I am still trying to teach myself piano. It's been a while. This was one major inspiration as to why.
+ProfessorProfanity Keep at it! I'm flattered that I, of all people, could be an inspiration to someone else.
+ProfessorProfanity Same here homie!
This is hauntingly beautiful and brings back good memories

Still waiting for a remake. This is the best version still on youtube!
Dude, ten years since the first time I've watched this piece. Amazing interpretation!
The best lost painting cover
Personally I prefer String Player Gamer’s cover, but this is a hella strong contender
15 years later and this is still one the most moving videos around here. So beautiful. Hope you're doing well, Rey!
Magical. I love when people add some of their own into the music. I love how you are slowly adding strength and keeping the softness at the same time. Really magical.
I still come back to this video. Thank you so much for sharing your music Rey!
i just had to listen to the first 10 seconds and I knew that would be a great piece!
Keep on the great work!
17yrs later am here again listening to this BUT also trying to play it now 👍🏻 my dream is becoming true 💖

I never realized why I loved this game so much until just now. It had the best music in it out of any game ever! lol Fantastic interpretation man!
this song could make me cry instantly. symphony of the night still stays one of the best video game ever made just for these songs.
Congratulations! This is the best "Lost Paintings" versions from all I have found in TH-cam.
I love the sound of a master of a piano playing. You do the insturment justice...
seems like this songs got a history behind it especially the way u played it .....just simply amazing....

Wow, this was great! This is one of my favorite tracks from Symphony of the Night.
This recording set up you have here is excellent. I don't know why it sounds so much better than all the other pianos on youtube, it just does.
Beautiful version of this track. Original in its interpretation as well. Thanks for posting this.
I really love this song... and I never think I¨ve heard a piano version of it before. In my opinion one of the best Castlevania songs ever.
Ah so beautiful and so personal. You are really gifted with the piano. I'm looking to play this song one day, but never as you, you give it an emotion that no one else can manage.

The most beautiful music in SotN, in its most beautiful arrangement.
Magnificent work.
