Unironically. If he can keep this level of quality up for another 10 years, he'd be spoken of in the same breaths as the likes of beethoven and Tchaikovsky and Mozart as truly timeless and GREAT musicians. Even now, his work in Genshin has already solidified him as, like you said, the best musician of our century. I've shown his works in Genshin in the likes of Azhdaha and Childe battle theme to Jolt in the Forest to so many of my friends from music school and they are always amazed and go "WHAT?!!! HOW IS THE BEST CLASSICAL MUSIC RIGHT NOW IN A VIDEOGAME FROM CHINA AT THIS LEVEL OF TEXTURE AND MUSICALITY?!" They never ended up playing Genshin but we nerd out over the music ALL the time. We still do after he left, especially with the likes of Fontaine main theme and some such but Yu-Peng Chen's legacy is already solidified by his phenomenal track record in Genshin. I miss him in Genshin so much, I really hope he'll do some collab pieces for Snezhnaya. I dream of being a composer that can move people with so much creativity, instrumentality and ability to take risks and make them work like he is able to one day.
He's extremely talented, but the best of the 21st century? I don't think so, there's person like Koji Kondo, or Joe Hisaishi. Here's the thing, when people talk about video game music, people will always talk about Nintendo game music, because Nintendo game music is very good, maybe some will talk about Genshin Music, but Nintendo music is like magic, even if you didn't even play Nintendo games, you'll definitely heard some of them, but I can't say with Genshin or more specific to Yu Peng Chen, don't get me wrong, I love Yu Peng Chen, I played Genshin since 1.0, and I absolutely love the music, especially the music from first summer event, Golden Apple Archipelago music is fantastic, but I can't say that was the best of the 21st century, there's still many talented composer, maybe if Yu Peng Chen can still improve his music, maybe he can become the GOAT, but for now I don't think he is.
His strictness never ceases😅 I remember in his inazuma behind video and he was and is just as perfectionist as ever. But it also means he holds a very high standard to his craft Thank you for always bringing wonderful music, Chen laoshi🙏🙏 I cried a lot listening to this album😢
I was thinking the same thing, but that's what makes the music so beautiful when you have a good composer leading you and a conductor to blend their interpretations together
Ah yes, the tracks that got me emotional yesterday. Thanks for composing this soundtrack, and thanks to everyone who took part in this soundtrack production.
I cannot begin to describe how much bliss this magical album has given me, even after just a couple listens. I was either crying or grinning from ear to ear the whole time. As a classical musician, I've heard and played A LOT of music, but this album is, to date, the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Thank you, everyone who put your heart and soul into producing this album. It shows. If this is the future for orchestral/classical music, I could not be more excited.
The moment the album was available on iTunes I pounced on it so fast and listened to it completely while doing my chores. It was just as magnificent and magical as I imagined it to be, if not even more so. Great work! ❤
Very beautiful! I'm so glad the vocals of the children were used in a music piece in the Fantasyland Album. It kinda reminds me of one of the OSTs made for Dragonspine in Genshin Impact, which is very nostalgic. Children vocals tend to bring some form of togetherness and innocence when it's presented in a music piece, and I'm glad it was presented it so well here! All in all, great work, Yu-Peng Chen and Crew!
I love your music so much, my fav in your new album is the Ascending Dive Towards the Pyramidion, for some reason I feel like Im hearing this music as Cyno quirky punny personality along with his badass serious side 💜⚡🔥
Gracias Sr. Chen por tan increíbles temas y cómo ha empleado el uso de varios instrumentos que no suelen aparecer en orquestas, y así dar nueva vida a melodías antiguas.
Pretty much impossible to NOT be reminded of things when the melody being used is so simple (not a bad thing) - literally just 4 notes in sequence ascending and descending back to its base. It's very innocent and sweet, like a child going out and returning safely back home after an afternoon playing in the snow.
this album and these videos make me think that yu peng cheng did absolutely everything related to genshin impact music and that hoyomix and hoyoverse fell very short
YU Peng Chen is the best musician of the 21st century

Shiro sagisu is also an amazing composer
Don't forget Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Composer would be more accurate

It’s a bold guess, perhaps this song ‘Goodbye, My Friend’ was dedicated to his teacher, Shinji Tanimura😭😭😭
Love your music ❤,陈老师。加油！
This piece brings back the Golden Apple Archipelago feels to all of us.
So much respect for you Yu Peng

Nobuo Uematsu, Yoko Shimomura and Yu-Peng Chen, my 3 favourite composers of this century
哇。我希望有一天我能像你一样成为一名优秀的作曲家！
I bought the album the moment it came out! I have listened so many times already. It’s perfect!
Do you know where I can buy the album? I've been trying to find where for the past few days but only found the streaming versions...

山巔雪國的記憶 在老師心中一定留下很美好的記憶 太感謝了

做自己最喜欢的事情，是浪漫且满足的。
oh this is a vol 1. means there will be a vol 2 (at the minimum)?

Feels very Harry Potter at times, absolutely lovely!
I love your music so much, my fav in your new album is the Ascending Dive Towards the Pyramidion, for some reason I feel like Im hearing this music as Cyno quirky punny personality along with his badass serious side 💜⚡🔥
Why is this so wholesome 😭🥹
I LOVE THISS

陈老师好帅呀❤❤❤❤
Gracias Sr. Chen por tan increíbles temas y cómo ha empleado el uso de varios instrumentos que no suelen aparecer en orquestas, y así dar nueva vida a melodías antiguas.
some parts reminds me of harry potter ost in some ways , I like it!
glad I'm not the only one who remarked this (first film to be exact).
Neverthless Yupeng's work is still amazing masterclass
i hope your music will be used in more games someday. amazing work maestro
The entire album is beautiful, as usual, almost brought me to tears. Just a joy to listen to
I’ve listened to the album on Apple Music. A fantastic piece of work !

Love it!! Keep em coming 👍
Anyone else feel like this theme in reminded them of Harry Potter or the Polar Express??
Yess, the beginning of the first track is almost the same as "Reunion of Friends" from Harry Potter.
Pretty much impossible to NOT be reminded of things when the melody being used is so simple (not a bad thing) - literally just 4 notes in sequence ascending and descending back to its base. It's very innocent and sweet, like a child going out and returning safely back home after an afternoon playing in the snow.
I love it!
very nice.
齐放 这名字好厉害🎉
"no papa not the belt, sorry I missed a note. I practice piano harder"
Yu-peng chen didnt write music for genshin. They made genshin to go along with his music

this album and these videos make me think that yu peng cheng did absolutely everything related to genshin impact music and that hoyomix and hoyoverse fell very short
it surprised me he jump even higher than the standard he made in genshin bgm
