kafka canonically being a violin player herself would so approve of this

[LindenViolin]

Thank you so much for performing my arrangement Ray Chen! I hope it was fun to play.

Being a hobbyist, I love experimenting with variations in my arrangements. It adds a layer of excitement to the piece, transforming this song closer to a Vivaldi violin solo. Your performance truly captured the essence I aimed for!

That joy of being both a hsr fan and Ray's fan tho🔥

"How to skip all the other seasons and get to summer?"

Come to northern Brazil lol.

sacrilegious classical edm goes hard, especially when Ray plays it

[ectasy]

I think Kafka is a reference to Franz Kafka because he wrote about fear and she feels no fear

[LordAsturgis]

This man teaches us sacrilegious video game anime music while Jasmine Choi explains “how to tongue like a pro”. The Tonic multiverse is wild this week.

This really showed Ray’s openness to new things and experiments - “unlearn all the hours… and make room for the new…”. Keep it going! 😅😅

this goes so hard, jesus christ. I just clicked on this because it popped up in my recommended and I was bored, and I did not expect to be stunned into speechlessness

[cseperegazesolefolyikazarcomon]

I love Mihoyo's classical music rearrangements.
I've tried the Rondo Across Countless Kalpas which is a brand new soundtrack and original piece, it's so beautiful, I can only recommend.

[undeuxtois]

BRO ray chen's cover of a dramatic irony hits so DIFFERENT???? THATS INSANEEEE

[heh_]

Kafka's trailer and it's music is what got me into starrail actually...AND HER VOICE

[PwnageJ]

As a beginner, it took me over a month to learn Canon in D. even so i sounded barely decent.
And seeing Ray learn and play that difficult piece that fast in such a short time simply blew my mind!

[LilianaKali]

I admit this is what I wanted after realizing that was Vivaldi in the Kafka trailer. THANK YOU TO RAY AND HIS GAMER FRIENDS FOR MAKING THIS REALITY!!!

[rovinteyvat]

Seeing Jasmine Choi play Genshin OSTs and now Ray Chen playing HSR exclusive trailer OST is a sight to behold, and a very much welcomed one ❤❤❤

[ElsweyrDiego]

Genshin Impact have many many motifs from classical music incorporated in their own compositions, it is really well done and the soundtrack is one of the most inspiring and emotional from today's game music!

[BlackHermit]

This is the Kafka of the Law. HSR is the kingdom where violinists seldom dwell, but in this case, it is absolutely fantastic!

[monika]

As a hsr player (former Kafka main) and a classical enjoyer I’m so happy! Can’t wait for the premier

[Ch]

I'm just so happy to see the collaboration of Ray Chen and Hoyo, even though the thing is sacrilegious. I think we'd like to see more of these

Editor is a beast!

Ray is a beast as we all know, hoping for more Hoyoverse from you every now and then.
