It’s clear how much work went into this, and it’s amazing how many instruments you’re skilled at. I love how you put this all together, fantastic job!!
Thank you! Very Much ❤ Music has the power to unite souls across generations. It reminds us that we are one Slavic people, connected by history, culture, and spirit. We are united, and we must never forget this bond.
i don't play computer games. i have real adventures out on my horse in the countryside. i do however love to relax and study with this music you are so skillfully playing. thank you my friend. much respect for your talent.
Less go! Could you imagine a game just like the witcher but in the basque country's wilderness? That would be awesome! And for the music? Ian and Tartalo! The mages of paganfolk!
What I like this beautiful music -1:58 -3:43 -4:16 -5:08 -6:06 -6:30 -7:16 -8:06 -10:41 -11:17 -14:50 Very beautiful, entertaining, dear author, I felt my life change with this witcher music, a music similar to medieval Celtic, and I appreciate it very much. Greetings from Spain, thanks.
For an instant, when you started singing, i thought you were Colm McGuiness for i was not looking at the vid. Damn, you're so talented bro. I'll follow your evolution for sure.
I absolutely adore using the bow on the guitar. Another thing is the use of the Tagelharpa, I love that instrument so much and I can't wait till mine arrives very soon!
genuinely your version of silver for monsters and steel for men is far better then the original games sound track... they have a far more natural sound to them
Amo as músicas de The Witcher, são épicas, agitadas, empolgantes e calmas. Gostei muito de ouvi-las novamente dessa forma, parabéns você é muito talentoso. 👏👏👏
Your songs are so good and I listen to them all day long and I can't stop listening to them. The video is also very good, it's cute to watch you play all the instruments ❤
Easily one of the best Witcher OST covers I've ever heard. Loved those smoooth transitions between the songs and also your vocals. Keep up the great work !!
The Witcher music is one if the best, i love your version of it. Thank you, to my ear it sounds as original. Lots of work and effort were put into the making of this video, both in audio and video. Congrats for such a result. Very talented!)
@@IanFontova can i add something please? This is the first time i fully and completely watch a music themed video, of someone performing. Thats because you managed to bring those magical tunes to life. I cannon truly comprehend how much effort you've put into all this, but i can assure you- you are doing a wonderful thing. A one man orchestra!) P.s. maybe i'll call you in a few years, with an invitation to my wedding as an honorable singer/performer and guest :P Anyway, like, sub and added to favorites. So glad The Witcher official Facebook page published such an excellent gem. Good luck to you sir, looking forward to more!)
@@MenTallisT_96 It took some months and I put a lot of love into it (I love these games so I really wanted to do this at some point). So thank you so much for appreciating it :) I'm honored about your wedding proposal 💙 Unfortunately I don't perform live for now 😅 But you're free to use my music as long as you credit me somewhere 🙌
@@IanFontova thanks again for your reply :) also, if you love the games i recommend you check out the books if you haven't already. They are truly marvelous! Take care!
your music and covers are always my go-to when i get into a creative mood and want to draw medieval fantasy designs or write some lore. Been listening to you for years and you never fail to help me immersive myself into a magical world, haha. keep it up!!
@@IanFontova of course! if it's not too much trouble by the way, may I ask what flute you used in the "Kaer Morhen" track at the end? Sounds very pretty, would love to get myself one too 😁
@@itzshiori7403 It's a tunable Susato Oriole Tin whistle in C 🙂If you want the exact same sound, make sure you grab the Oriole variation. Other Susato series sound good too, Oriole is just a bit more affordable and sounds great as well. Here you have some info: www.susato.com/collections/pennywhistles
I never played any of the Witcher--the most I saw was when my sister started Wild Hunt. It seems a neat series, and perhaps one day I'll pick it up. I've heard bits and pieces of songs, but this could be considered my first "true" excursion into Witcher music. The more I listen to this medley, the more in love with it I become--and the more active my creative brain gets. Cloak and Dagger and the whole segment from Ladies of the Wood to Kaer Morhen gets me into such a writing/drawing mood--especially Steel for Humans. I just looked up the original, and I have to say I prefer your rendition--the speed, the sound, even your voice. Can't help but say I'm eager to see an extended cut of just your rendition of Steel for Humans at some point! Fantastic work!! Edit: Love the cat cameo. Adorable!!
You actually received an instrument from Staghelm Instruments out of California? That’s very surprising for several of us that have purchased from them, we have neither instrument, money back nor any type of correspondence whatsoever. You’re a very lucky man. Sounds great btw.
Omg I had no idea, I'm so sorry to hear that :O They took a while to build it and to answer my emails, but they did finally send it and it sounds great. I received it like 2 years ago, aproximately 1 year after sending them my first email. After I received it, they stopped answering my emails as well... I hope they're alright and that you get the money back :(
this is beyond words...dancing in my chair-love the silver wigs. where did you get the wolf amulet-fantastic-the singing not sure what language you are singing but very effective-each selection was different and matched the areas in the game.-thank you for your countless hours of writing and practice-a treat for the ears
Beautifully crafted body of work. This took tremendous effort to learn, arrange and perform each component - meticulously. Unique instruments used in unique way. Very creative video presentation. WOW!!!!!!!!
I'm afraid that'd be too much work 🤣 I've been working on this for so many months that I feel like working on other stuff now. But I might come back to The Witcher universe when I play the DLCs 😬 I'm sure there's amazing songs to feature there too!
I had such a great time listening to it. Im trying to hold myself playing The Witcher 3 again since Complete edition may release this year but you made it much harder :D.
You mean on Spotify? I don't usually release covers other than on UA-cam, as it's a bit of a pain to handle the royalties. But at some point I'd like to release a full album just with covers, and this will be included for sure :)
Thanks! I'll skip the most common ones like the guitar: lute, uilleann pipes, bouzouki, mandola, bodhran, tin whistle, low whistle in G, tagelharpa, tenor recorder. Not sure if I left anything, if you are curious about any that you see in the video and I have not mentioned, let me know :)
Thanks! Yes, they're horsehair strings. I don't know how many hairs there are in each string as I bought the instrument already stringed by the builder (www.staghelm.com). You could ask them for details, they sell string sets in their website. And the guy was very nice and informative when I was ordering the instrument :)

Music has the power to unite souls across generations. It reminds us that we are one Slavic people, connected by history, culture, and spirit. We are united, and we must never forget this bond.
Everything about this is amazing: the sounds, the interpretation, the playlist and mostly the passion. It gave me chills and for this I thank you!
Thanks to you, happy you like it!
2 things that were truly made for each other.
A man and his wig 🤣🤣 Happy you like it, thanks!
So awesome, love the fact you included so many tavern themes! 🍻 This might be the best Witcher medley I've seen/heard. Keep it up, my friend!
😍😍😍 I'm a huge fan of your Witcher covers and the rest of your work! Thanks for your comment and keep up the good work as well 💙
i don't play computer games. i have real adventures out on my horse in the countryside. i do however love to relax and study with this music you are so skillfully playing. thank you my friend. much respect for your talent.
How the heck is it possible that this hasn't gone viral?
Dang, this is gorgeous! I'm going to leave it on all day, I can pretend I'm a tavern wench while I'm doing stuff in the kitchen.
Less go!
Could you imagine a game just like the witcher but in the basque country's wilderness? That would be awesome! And for the music? Ian and Tartalo! The mages of paganfolk!
😍 that'd be awesome!
When you started Aar Skellige, ohh man that one really hit me, great work :)
💙💙💙

Very beautiful, entertaining, dear author, I felt my life change with this witcher music, a music similar to medieval Celtic, and I appreciate it very much. Greetings from Spain, thanks.
😍😍😍 Gracias!
awesome 👍 ... wish you could join Jethro Tull, keep those old codgers going :-)
Fantastic music! Witcher 3 is my favourite game and I just love its soundtrack. I particularly liked the wig and the unimpressed cat 😂
This is mastery. Ian has found a part of himself in making music.
I just found your music! Wow you are fantastic. Amazing watching your fingers fly! Beautiful.
This is really great work! i love that you included songs Witcher 1,2... because they are so underrated!
💙💙💙
Witcher so beautiful song 😊😊😊
This video is the definition of perfection
Carry on, for the legacy of The Witcher, shall always live on! Great Job!
Even throat singing... Great job playing all the instruments snd arranging everything! Wow I'm really impressed
Thanks! Loved your Ard Skellig village cover 💙
For an instant, when you started singing, i thought you were Colm McGuiness for i was not looking at the vid. Damn, you're so talented bro. I'll follow your evolution for sure.
So cool, I love Colm's covers! Thanks :)
I absolutely adore using the bow on the guitar. Another thing is the use of the Tagelharpa, I love that instrument so much and I can't wait till mine arrives very soon!
'The Fields of Ard Skellig' is one of my favorite tracks from Wild Hunt, but honestly the entire saga is SO GOOD 🔥🔥🔥
Same!
I'm crying... 👏👏👏👏
Can't describe what I feel.. no words..
genuinely your version of silver for monsters and steel for men is far better then the original games sound track... they have a far more natural sound to them
Great work!!!
I love your music!!
I want to play it again
😍 that's so cool to hear!
This just blew my mind. What an incredible amount of skill!
this man is amazing, I follow him on spotify an he has very cool stuff there

My heart really aches at Kaer Morhen. Best rendition on youtube. This video will blow up in future.

@@IanFontova Thank you, that's just amazing!
can visualize a fine little Celtic redhead 👩🦰 dancing to the music in the background … or maybe in reality in the future ???

Nice. Clever with the guitar. Oh and it turns out the "steel for humans" is in fact bulgarian. My bad
Omg so many plot twists! 🤣 Thanks!
So fucking amazing!!!!!!!
