The sign of a well written piece of music is that it transfers well between any medium / instrument, and genres. Chuck Schuldiner was among those genius songwriters
Also a homosexer
100% this
I agree. I always thought tools music transfers very well also.
Guitar and piano are absolutely compatible, nothing special here, but Chuck was a genius for sure.
So if that beautiful choral piece loses something when transferred to kalimba, does that mean it's not well-written? I think the criteria is that a well-written piece of music sounds good on whatever instrument(s) it was written for and everything else is a bonus.
Inside crystal mountain, classical music takes its form...
Inside crystal mountain, classic music is reborn
insane comment
This piano cover has made me appreciate Chuck's writing even more.
Me too, so beautiful
didn't it just 🙏
But not as close as Extract beauty and sincronisnm form from pure caos, That's Death Metal (and that is our life lol )
Few realize how powerfull and clever is Death Metal.
@@andreyoung7931 what???
Chuck would be honored and very happy to see this spectable! Long live the memory of Chuck Schuldiner!
Out of any artist I can agree with you with certainty. He would have definitely appreciated this interpretation.
@@jwardbass4452 Yes BRO
Chuck we miss your genius riffs and compositions
the GOAT of metal
@@m00nkiid Yup
I was always a fan of Dismember, Obituary, etc, but it's news to me that Chuck's music was so.. I don't know, harmonically beautilful.
Did he die of AIDS?
I sometimes hear that the brilliant classical compositors -- Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Paganini, Vivaldi, Wagner, and so on -- wrote music what would be the heavy metal of their times, just with the instruments that were available before electricity. Videos like this one prove this point in an astonishing way.
This is the only way I can get my wife to listen to Death 😅 Thank you for this!
🤘⚡️
@@elihyland4781 I get you bro, is the same with my wife
sooo many ways to misunderstand this...
Your wife sounds pretty based, not wanting to listen to pussy metal lol
I feel you brother. But the kids... are already conditioned 😀
Dear gods of the algorithm.
Thanks for this unexpected treat. Absolute belter of a tune I wouldn’t have expected such a rendition of. Good stuff.
Same!
Expect the unexpected 🤣🤣
yeah! exactly the same here
Havent listened to death in more than 7 years it was a part of my smooth journey to become a massive prog fan this is actually very nostalgic to me thanks gods of the algorithm
This is the best cover ever, it feels like an unlocked level in Castlevania.
I think if Chuck were here to see this, he'd be blown away by your rendition. This is next level ❤
I was just about to reply that it was sad that Chuck didn't get to hear this. This is a beautiful rendition and really showcases the heights Death's music can go.
I am so glad current (2024) listeners get to hear Chuck's music. I cried when he passed in 2001.
A true visionary, another savant gone far too soon. I'd absolutely love to hear the entirety of 'Human' as a classical piece. That album is absolutely flawless in my opinion, and features the greatest collective of talent on an album, regardless of genre.
I have to admit getting a tad misty for a second near the end of this.
ye he ded
finally a piano cover that's not just "metal on the piano", but actual quality piano music... great arrangement and impecable performance! very tasteful. I wish you had albums with this stuff on Spotify
Elena Feneva does some quality stuff too. She just put out an Emperor cover earlier today.
Beautiful
"Metal on the piano" ? Can you elaborate ?
I mean death did kinda create deathmetal so
true, but i feel this is somewhat of a testament to the writing of chuck. Its well known that a lot of death pieces transfer well to acoustic and what not so i assume the same is true for other non-distorted pitch instruments
Thanks for Chuck 🙏
could hear him singing in my head. he would have loved this version.
We all truly miss him
Outstanding.
You even played the solos!
What a gem.
R.I.P Chuck
The speed in the right hand during the solo. Goodness! Someone get this lady her Grammy.
Testament what musical genius Chuck was. Also your ingenuity, effort and knowledge to transcribe it, arrange it and finally play it, wow! I forgot how haunting piano can sound.
Chuck is the singer of Testament.
@@9xqspx6 True
Wrong Chuck..
I met Chuck many times at a record store I used to go to (Aces). He was always a gentle and welcoming soul.
Young lady not only would Chuck approve he'd probably want to join you on your version. Absolutely perfect
She looks like she's in a thirty-something to forty-something bracket to me, so unless you're 70... but hey, that would mean I'm also a strapping young lad, so I'm not complaining.
@@Medytacjusz I hope you got paid to such an asshole. Otherwise you just a waste.
Beautiful version of one of my favorite songs. Well done, you rock!! ❤🤘
Instant subscribe. If Chuck were still here, this would've warmed his heart to no end.
Hearing Death played this way makes me appreciate the band even more! So beautiful, thank you for this piece of art!
RIP CHUCK
If you haven't already, I HIGHLY recommend you check out some Death covers without the distortion.
Always been my favourite Death song, your amazing version highlights just how brilliant Chuck really was.
Mine as well. Symbolic was a masterwork
WHAT THE... 🤯 I never expected a death metal song to sound THIS GOOD on piano! 🔥
Since Death is the best metal band ever that makes this the best piano cover ever. Smooth as butter
Well, Death at piano sounds even brutal. The whole vibe is like you really playing some classic piece, not metal, but YES - that’s why we love DEATH.
And, the performance is outstanding!
This channel deserves more subscribers
Yesh yesh moar MOAR
Why?
Chuck put so much stank on it. The arrangement is so damn clean on the piano. Really shows how his personality came through in performing. RIP man.
Chuck was a master at all levels, he truly loved imparting a feeling of being inside the songs through his music that most musicians can only dream of being remembered for. This is beautiful, Chuck was an inspiration, and he is missed so badly by so many.
RIP my friend😢.
You can tell Chuck's genius and musicality when his song are played on a piano. It's beautiful to listen to. Huge props to Catherine.
This translated to piano really well. Great work! 🤟🏻
the fact that this video did not exist 3 months ago makes me feel even more lucky. you're awesome
People who don't know and think that metal is just a bunch of noise don't realize that most people like Beethoven, Bach, Paganini if alive today would most assuredly be in metal bands imo. And this shows Chucks amazingly skillful and complex songwriting....and BTW great job this is beautiful🤘🤘
That's how an arranger arranges an arrangement.
Does anyone else have tears in their eyes listening to this? RIP Chuck
Your talent is astounding; the transcription, arrangement, and performance are awe inspiring. I need to go practice now.
Thank you!
This is recognition and immortality...
One of the best channels; outstanding work. The emotion and aesthetic texture of this performance is enchanting. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
This is exceptional: not only perfect transcription, but the whole dynamics and expression. Amazing performance! 😮
Fuckin A
Chuck was an amazing composer. It's incredible how this song fits on the piano
this video is gonna push Catherine towards youtube superstar status
One of my favourite Death songs - I love this!
wow, i never saw Death like this picture, crazy...... one pf the best videos i have seen in very long time
Chuck,genio recordado eternamente por su música.Escucharla y verla interpretada con el piano...maravilloso...de lujo.A esta mujer ...gracias y felicidades!!Bravo!!
You make me cry! Thank you.
Chuck would approve. Beautiful!
0:58!!!!!! Wow I was waiting for that and it is absolutely as beautiful as I thought it would be!!!
That was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for honoring Chuck. You play beautifully
Thank you for doing Death, that means a lot! Amazing arrangement!
Very well transcriped, arranged and performed. Felt the emotion in the playing, can hear the excellent song writing on a different instrument. You hit all the notes just right. Thanks for continuing to do these. It's a joy to watch these songs we've all enjoyed over the years performed so well.
Thank you for keeping this art alive
Удивительно!
Вы сохранили агрессию композиции, выразив её через мелодику!
Спасибо.
Уфф! Высь! Восторг!
Вы божественно исполняете! Рояль звучит прекрасно!
Благодаря вам я посмотрел под другим углом на творчество Death.
Благодарю!
Thanks for understanding and conveying the beauty of this song for listeners of other genres to appreciate
i am strongly amazed
Somehow this gives me 80's old school video game boss level chills.
listened to this in the car, and sang the lyrics as it was the original song. The timings, the structures, all were matching. A magnificent work!
Maybe I try to record my vocals at some point.
genuinely this is the best Death song that they've ever put out, if not the best track within Symbolic
Girl, I'm sure Chuck is up in heaven smiling at you with a tear in his eye 😁
Thank you for this amazing transportation of the amazing song to this amazing instrument....chuck is on top of musicality....a riff God. Please make septicflesh cover Lovecraft death song....or Persepolis....
Greetings from Hellas
Thank you again Catherine for another excellent adaptation. Top class playing as always. The piano gives the song a haunting atmosphere.
You shoot straight at my heart now! IMO this is one of the most beautiful songs in death metal scene! I love this and you really read my mind! Thank you for this gift! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Crystal Mountain is one of my favorite songs, period, because of the work Gene does on the bass drums. The way you've translated this to my other favorite instrument is simply amazing.
This was... HEAVY!!! More please!
What an excellent transcirption and performance! I got chills listening. Chuck would be proud.
This is so well done, great job! Was waiting for the part at 0:58 and daaaamn, that was special! 🤘
Beautiful . There's no better way to pay tribute to Chuck as a composer.
this sounds so beautiful. thank you catherine.
J'adore ! Le piano est parfaitement adapté à la musique de Chuck ! Bravo ! Vous êtes géniale
Beautiful rendition of an amazing song. Rest in peace Chuck.
Chuck is smiling at us from heaven
What an incredible cover! That fast finger work around 2:36 is really impressive
So bad I can't like this video a thousand times. It's just beautiful. The song is brilliant and you are a great performer. Bravo.
That sounded marvellous thank you for sharing here on youtube
I've just heard this song again, after years of listening to it for guitars... wonderful workmanship, respect from Poland 😍
If they ever do a "Death to All" tour again, and if I were to hypothetically manage to attend one, I would love to hear this and a few more rendition of other songs before the band went on stage. The vibe and ambience at the venue would be amazing. Not to mention the anticipation.
Just checked: they really are touring in May/June
Wow, thats impressive. Sounds incredible on the piano. I'm sure Chuck would be made up with this.
This was just brilliantly done, and I agree that Chuck would've been impressed with this cover! One of my favorite songs Chuck ever wrote, this one is.
There is something so serene and beautiful about this song and the piano can sort of show to non-metal heads how we felt yet this cover also shows the beauty of the player and the piano.
So fucking mind blowing!
Thank you 💞
Exquisite transcription, dynamics and execution! This would make for a kickass EU tour, perhaps. Love your channel and your work. ROCK ON!!! 😍🤘🍻
Thank you!
Still heavy.Thx for the effort,much appriciated
Somebody had to do this. Thank you. It's beautiful. I actually always wanted to make a violin cover, but never did. Maybe after this I will.
That was cooler than I thought it would be
Next Zelda game better have Ganon in a crystal mountain castle playing this or I'm not playing it 😤
If Chuck had been still here, the collaboration between Death and this pianist would have been amazing.
I LOVE the liberty you took with the lick at 2:40!! I can’t stop replaying it, it hits so perfectly with the chord change happening underneath it
You are amazing. Great choice. to hear this composition on the piano makes you appreciate the symphonic songwriting ability of Death. R.I.P. Chuck
My daily dose of therapy... Thank you Catherine❤
Really paints the song in a different light. There are a lot of different moods coming out and there's a lot of interesting contrasts between really open sections, kind of mystical sounding asides that break in, and more technical parts that punch hard. I really enjoyed this!
Every once in a while, Ill find a video that causes goosebumps, and I have to watch it again the next day. This is one.
all this melodies in just one song. After so many years still magnificent. Great cover!
I still miss Chuck Schuldiner, he was a Genius.
Died much too early.
Just an amazing renditon and performance!
Wonderful!
This song brings me back 20 years to when i first started listening to the more the darker music.
This song was an instant favorite of mine.
So much going on here that first might pass the untrained ear by.
It sounds so good on piano. It gives me old school video game midi vibes
Long live the memories of Chuck and his genius!!! Thank you!!!
death is a legend and a milestone when it comes to death metal, no other band was so versatile and well thought out for me the most important and significant band in the area is still unrivaled to this day. Chuck was so brilliant in my home country of Poland, death is considered one of the most important by Polish metalheatz Bands in general, the philosopher who was ahead of his time, very nice piano version!!!
I love what you did here. Arranging the different riffs and melodies to the piano and "scoring" the chord structure and harmonies.
That really made me appreciate this composition for its genius even more. Great work cheers
This is a great way for people who dont like metal to understad what a genius Chuck Schuldiner was. This is true for the late Alexi Laiho also. You make them alive again, you are amazing❤
This is absolutely beautiful, youtube nailed it with this recommendation..
Subbed
Incredible, moving. It draws emotion out from me. Very creative like opera
I was very fortunate to meet Chuck back in like 1995 on the Individual Thought Patterns tour. Incredibly very nice guy. It’s a shame he passed way too young
