The beauty of this gave me goose bumps; it's like the instruments were singing out the lyrics. It's the merging of so very, very ancient instruments and an equally old musical tradition with a modern pop song...not to mention the melding of East and West...that makes this rendition just divine. What a reminder that music really can unite us all! No wonder Ms. Perry was moved to tears!
+No Name with those instruments u felt that ancient Chinese soul and it hit the spot =) .. it's beautiful really and the conductor's movements r genius!
Plus she didn't even write Roar itself. That's why she's crying in the news story on this, probably, not the flattery, but realizing shes just a pretty shell that creative people channel their music through.
I don´t understand how you people (not all of you) cannot simply enjoy what you hear without putting down Katy Perry who is the one who had the inspiration for this great song, whom she wrote together with other songwriters, And you ignored the fact that she was moved to tears while hearing this Beautiful piece of Music which she herself sings in the best pop manner. No, you had to put her down. That tells a lot about which kind of limited people you are.
i remembered this brought tears to Katy's eyes. now after #wecrashed this is still the best version of the song, well besides the original song of course.
I am glad Katy Perry tweeted me otherwise I won't hear this amazing Orchestral version of this wonderful , wonderful Katy Perry song 'ROAR' ! What an honour coming from China , she must be pretty special !!
They must have been stunned to play such an amazingly difficult, well thought out, well structured song! The contrapuntal melodies! The augmented and major minor diminished 5th Neapolitan French-6th textures! All for the most talented musical genius of our time Katy Perry! What an Honor!!!!
That is so Awesome how they do this I'm a 5th Grader and today we have Music and I'm going to share it with my whole class who knows maybe she would show it to the entire 5th grade but what they did is out Standing!!!!!!
So few in the audience and that guy snapping pictures got in the way but by the end I could Katy with a smile on her face. She must have felt very well it could be presented in this way using traditional Chinese instruments. and I like it very well myself🤗
@Wayne Li is correct. As an audio engineer major I was drilled to learn to consider virtually EVERY single variable when it comes to recording including how efficiently room acoustics transfer and reflect sound waves, phase cancellation, isolation etc. The percussion/drums are put in the very back of the orchestral section because they are powerful instruments and their long and "heavy" amplitudes may very well trample over the shorter sound waves from the other instruments possibly masking them. This would create arrival differences to the ears of the audience where the front instruments are heard first and the back is heard later by fractions of a second.
As a member of 3 bands myself, I thought this was an awesome performance by a country that welcomed American music. I especially like the crecendo's. I thumbs up
When your song is so iconic that it ends up being played by a traditional Chinese orchestra... I think a beautifull Chinese songstress should sing a rendition of it to this in Chinese in a classical manner btw
It was a little bit weird at the beginning. But then it sounded better an better till it became amzing! As well as my smile became wider and wider. I loved it!
my faith in humanity is restored after seeing this. So much bad crap that you see on the news, but when i see things like this i know there is so much more good in the world.

You know the song is HUGE when this happens. The chorus is absolutely amazing, WOW.
I am from the USA and have great respect for the talent, intelligence, and great desire to work of the Chinese People. Thanks
+Robert Sutton ths
Thank you
Thank you
Try not to sing to this.. You can't! This is an awesome rendition of Katy Perry's Roar.
***** Yet Roar was written, produced and recorded before Brave. LOL try again.
TheNightSimmer maybe you should google next time. brave was released in april 2013. roar was released in august 2013.
John Bonebrake he said written, produced, and recorded. sure it was released in august, but the other aspects to the song were done way before then.
***** If you're not up to date with this "crap" then why are you even trying to bring Katy down? There's enough ignorant hate on the Internet.
John Bonebrake Maybe you should read next time. Writing, production and recording does not = release.
All these political comments disgust me. It's just a freaking cover performance of her song. You guys are blowing it out of proportion. Sheesh.
Plus she didn't even write Roar itself. That's why she's crying in the news story on this, probably, not the flattery, but realizing shes just a pretty shell that creative people channel their music through.
It's beautiful. And I'm a western chauvinist
Loved this rendition!!!
Yah! TRUE!!!they are really creative and the music is totally fit.
I don´t understand how you people (not all of you) cannot simply enjoy what you hear without putting down Katy Perry who is the one who had the inspiration for this great song, whom she wrote together with other songwriters, And you ignored the fact that she was moved to tears while hearing this Beautiful piece of Music which she herself sings in the best pop manner.

i meant hhgttg69 and saphiresirene skies
The music is not capitalist or communist, it is in a higher level...
Wow, this is incredible! The talent of these people for real!

So proud of my traditional orchestra music, and so proud of Katy ! You always welcome in China!
I saw this last year and everytime I get back to it, after it ends, I always pick my jaw up from the floor. amazing
Music is really international!
omg, i saw this on the news so i had to come look this up on youtube! katy perry was CRYING during this!!
they showed how big is this song :)
this is amazing :D totally
How comes that orchestras make everything better?
because it's organic and every instrument touches on a different tone, emotion, chord of imagination.
They gave me goosebumps 😱😱 They've done it very well! But sadly, few audience...
all internet viewers = big audience ;)
Agreed! ;)
Hidayah Mizan It's a secret show only for Katy Perry in china
Ohhhh okay. No wonder there were few people only. Tq for sharing!
every layer of the songs covered so well and just awesome..
It's so good to see dedicated musicians, who love to play music
It made me cry... This is the best cover I've ever heard by Orchestral!!! FANTASTIC!!!!! Congratulation and I give you BIG respect from Mostar!!!!!!
i remembered this brought tears to Katy's eyes. now after #wecrashed this is still the best version of the song, well besides the original song of course.
What is #wecrashed?

This version of Roar should be used for Kung fu Panda 3.
I am glad Katy Perry tweeted me otherwise I won't hear this amazing Orchestral version of this wonderful , wonderful Katy Perry song 'ROAR' ! What an honour coming from China , she must be pretty special !!
I had to watch this for home learning and wow I’m impressed!
WGN Morning News Chicago brought me here. Magnificent! If the China National Orchestra did an album of hits, I'd be first in line to buy it!
Music transcends space, time, nationality. everything. Simply beautiful.
у меня мурашки по коже, как же это прекрасно
我听的时候真的哭了，心里有种说不出了的堵，特别是最后看到观众席上面的寥寥几天我悲伤欲绝！我的国人加油！因为有你们而感到自豪！你们都是大师！
Wow! That was so nice!
This is really good and the fact that you used Chinese instruments makes it even better
Words cannot describe to amazingness of music and the way the preformed this song!
Katy brought me here! THIS IS AWESOME! I LOVE IT! ♥♥♥♥
This was truly incredible, you can almost hear the words from the instruments.
Hearing the words of the song and feeling the beat sends chills down my spine like water falling down like a waterfall
it's a great version! I´d like to hear a better quality recording of this beautiful performance
whaooo you can fill the rush in your veins....this is so beautiful...
This is gorgeous!

what i love most about it that its not perfect ,some sounds are off the beat on purpose what makes it sound just awesome
Syncopation
The instruments and orchestra were amazing
They must have been stunned to play such an amazingly difficult, well thought out, well structured song! The contrapuntal melodies! The augmented and major minor diminished 5th Neapolitan French-6th textures! All for the most talented musical genius of our time Katy Perry! What an Honor!!!!
amasian!
La musica no tiene fronteras, idioma, ni limites, que hermoso.
just another example of how music brings different cultures together :)
I can almost hear the words of the song
NICE!!! Nothing lost in translation! A New view, a different cultural interpretation, WONDERFUL!
it always makes me smile :)
This is cool, Id rather listen to this any day than the original
I feel this so much more than the original, I 100% agree.
AMAZING , i got the chills listening to the whole performance
That is so Awesome how they do this I'm a 5th Grader and today we have Music and I'm going to share it with my whole class who knows maybe she would show it to the entire 5th grade but what they did is out Standing!!!!!!
It always makes me feel smile; it's so beautiful, lenient and unique performance.
That just seriously gave me chills!
omg! that was amazing! there should have been more people in the audience to see them!
Damn... that's good.
This is amazing...very talented group of people
Great music. Thank & many thanks from Thailand.
Why can't I orchestrate like this?
THIS IS SO FLUFFING AMAZING!
So few in the audience and that guy snapping pictures got in the way but by the end I could Katy with a smile on her face. She must have felt very well it could be presented in this way using traditional Chinese instruments. and I like it very well myself🤗
katty perry should hear this omg she needs to hire them they are fricking amazing omg super good work china
That intro gave me goosebumps !!
What a wonderful welcome and high tribute by them to a very talented young lady.
Good morning from Singapore! I hope you'd have a fantastic week =)
Even though I dislike the song, this version is way more than tolerable! So beautiful!

so nice .I don't know what to say God bless you all love it
WOW!!! That was AWESOME!!!!
i admit i was confused at first, expecting violins with an orchestra. i got a way better surprise! this is beautiful!
Damn the politicians! Music is the real ambassador of the world! Way to go China National Orchestra! :)
This was so sweet of them to do.
That was nothing short of stellar!!
Woooooow!!!! i love this_using their traditional musical instrument..bravo china ntaional orchestra!!! please make more music

Beautiful! A very talented and powerful orchestra. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
That was terrific. I loved the traditional instruments. Unfortunately, they played to an almost empty house.
It might've been a private event.
Loving this rendition of the song!!!
this is so so so beautiful
This is like the 2nd most awsome thing I've ever seen 😮🎻🎼
Beautiful!!! Thanks Katy for the tweet!

As a member of 3 bands myself, I thought this was an awesome performance by a country that welcomed American music. I especially like the crecendo's. I thumbs up
THIS WAS SO FLIPPING COOOOOL 😭😭😭
this is unconditionally awesome
When your song is so iconic that it ends up being played by a traditional Chinese orchestra...

They did a wonderful job. Don't really listen to orchestra music but that was good. Loved it.
" Don't really listen to orchestra music..." -that's why you loved it.
Ten8sious
So what you are saying is that it wasn't great.
this was so beautiful.
Katy Perry feat Kung Fu Panda - Roar :)
ohhh It's wonderful ......
It was a little bit weird at the beginning. But then it sounded better an better till it became amzing!
As well as my smile became wider and wider. I loved it!
so everything you are not familiar with is weird... I got your logic.
The are killing this.!!!!
my faith in humanity is restored after seeing this. So much bad crap that you see on the news, but when i see things like this i know there is so much more good in the world.
You KNOW it's huge when a legit Communist country's orchestra does a cover of your song.
It has tigers involved. What do you expect?
i just watched this vid and saw this comment, and I just realized it was YOU, that GEOGRAPHY NOW guy hahahahaha
Stupid comment
Well done, China National Orchestra!
Surprisingly awesome!.....
