Of the soundtrack, composers SONYA BELOUSOVA & GIONA OSTINELLI say, "The best part of scoring THE WITCHER was the constant stream of unlimited creative opportunities this unique and vast universe provided. We wrote and produced songs, score, folk tunes, and dances, collaborated with virtuoso soloists and incredible artists, recorded unique one-of-a-kind historical instruments, many of which were crafted specifically for THE WITCHER, as well as personally performed and recorded over 60 instruments. So when the soundtrack and our song "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher" went viral immediately after the show's release and topped the charts globally, we were absolutely blown away by such a phenomenal reception. Wow!"

Please, please keep doing these. The ability to take just a tiny glimpse into your amazingly brilliant and creative brain is truly something to behold. Obviously everyone who watches The Witcher loves your work, but getting you to walk us through the elements and thought process is something indescribably special.
In my opinion this is the most underrated and underappreciated channel on RUclips. Amazing work :D
yes
Yes!!! Just discovered this today. I love it.
Geralt's theme makes me so emotional and I don't really know why...I just love the character so much, both show and books, and whenever I hear his theme it's just so nostalgic and beautiful and SO him
This is incredibly fascinating! This is one of my favourite tracks from the series. It would also be quite interesting to watch a video like this on the tracks Bonfire, Happy Childhoods Make for Dull Company, and The Law of Surprise. There are so many good tracks, this soundtrack is just amazing.
This song is a master piece of music, even if you havent watch the serie. In the serie, knowning the story behind, is like it was making by gods. Thanks for your music.
Never knew you composed this show!!!! Now I know why I loved the music Sooo much
Ce que je trouve incroyable avec ces vidéos, c’est que la compositrice explique clairement la façon dont elle travaille et lie sa musique à la série, aux émotions qu’elle représente tout en développement un aspect assez technique de la composition.
C’est super intéressant ! J’ai l’impression de voir le travail de composition pour film/série en direct !
Merci pour ces vidéos !!
Everything is amazing !
Please make the anatomy of the song of the white wolf, anyone with me press like
WHAT AN AMAZING VIDEO! Omg, I could watch ALL THE OST for days and days, please keep sharing this beautiful and splendid work with us!
I'm begging for the next song you do to be "The Law of Suprise"
Sometimes, music is more powerful than images, incredible work Sonya ! Great job :)
I'd love a more detailed breakdown of Geralt's theme and how it was incorporated in Yennefer's theme, please!
Highly interesting to see the soundtrack's birthplace, thanks a lot :-)!
Never realized how complex music is in shows in some cases
What an intense theme! It's really hard, every moment, every detail, that makes every song in The Witcher great!
This track gives me goosebumps
Amazing!!!!
Love this
This is amazing 😄
amazing
These videos are so awesone❤❤❤
I would love to see the anatomy of Four Marks and Happy Childhoods Make For Dull Company.🌸🌸
I was so happy to discover this channel! These The Witcher videos are so great, it's very nice to hear more about this soundtrack and in such detailed ways! I still listen regularly to the whole album, it is so amazing and brilliant, truly. Thank you for your work both on it and here with these vidseo.
Also The Time of Axe and Sword Is Now is one of my favourite track with You'll Have to Fight It Until Dawn and The Knight Who Was taught to Save Dragons and so many others so thank you for the detailed explanation it is very interesting!
Hi Sonya all of your videos are far better than great. But I personally also want to hear some piano playing of yours as well(any piece) because I watch your old recordings every day :D and you play Beautiffulll 😍😍 I also wish you had some masterclasses because I am currently working on beethoven sonatas and I sometimes imagine in my mind that you are playing that piece (i.e I put myself in your shoes :))) Because you are among one of the greatest pianists. This is a real fact!! (either technically or emotionally) and having your ideas would be invaluable...
Sonya, thank you for your magic! You made the Witcher sound real! You have Russian name and you have Russian fan now! Epic music! Good luck and dont stop!
This piece has always been my favorite off the Witcher soundtrack.
Make a gift for the princess, and the end's beginning pleeeeaaase!!!!
I just stumbled across this channel again I had no clue she was also the composer for the witcher forgive me it's been years since I had seen anything from the channel it turns out I had either been unsubscribed or it was a different account either way it's cool to be back
This is so complex as The Witcher. :)
Sonya. How good that you're back!
It would be great to see you again playing the piano

Hi
Hi!
That monitor looks like it about to fall off of the back of that small table....
That guy is really screaming at the microphone. Idek if it’s just me, but that note doesn’t seem that high, even for a guy. Unless you are just using a really high chest voice
