Blue Fields. Eyes On Me. Shuffle or Boogie. Find Your Way. The Oath. Silence and Motion. The Castle. The Successor. Ending Theme. Slide Show Part2. The same goes for track 9, "Silence and Motion", the music from Esthar. The OST version was in my opinion one of the worst tracks on the whole OST, but the piano version is a totally different story.
Maybe it's just because I'm fond of piano, but I really think that every song on this CD is great. I can't say that one track is better than the others since I have a new favorite each day. The track selection is good, with some of the best tracks from the OST and some tracks that I didn't expect but that have come out very well. But on the other hand, the tracks they share are some of the best ones and it would have been a shame to miss any of their arrangements. The previous Piano Collections are among VGM lovers considered classics, and in a few years this CD probably also will be considered a classic.
Well-played and well-arranged. No sheet music is included except for "Eyes on Me" but you can't have everything.
After examining the tracks included in this CD release, I was very excited to buy the album and the sheet music as soon as possible, with high expectations. Many favourites from the original sountrack are found in the ablum, including the pop ballad "Eyes On Me" originally sung by Faye Wong, the peaceful "Fisherman's Horizon," the innocent "Ami" and the "Ending Theme. The pieces come alive through the arrangements of Shiro Hamaguchi. Although the compositions are very excellent, the performance of the pieces by Shinko Ogata are less thrilling, but convey the beauty of the pieces with simplicity and elegance.
More electronic in nature than the original 7th Dragon. More greatness from Yuzo Koshiro. Secret of Evermore OST - I sold my original one, however when I learned a dealer had a number of sealed ones and was selling them for about retail price, I jumped at the opportunity, and left it sealed!
Ninja Gaiden Definitive Soundtrack Vol. The first time these soundtracks were ever released! So you have to prepare the score with every bit of thoroughness and precision. It was a trying experience but, as someone who came to composing late, participating in such a musical project was a valuable opportunity to amass skills, for which I am extremely grateful. I've always appreciated the value of chances to darken staff paper with dots, and so accepted this job with a positive outlook. At any rate, this was the most difficult project I've ever worked on.
I had previously been given the responsibility of using the piano to encapsulate the world of SaGa Frontier 2 , but when the title is "Collection", the meaning changes subtly. Rather than adapting myself needlessly to listeners' tastes, I was cognizant that to express my own integrity as much as possible, I needed to deploy my power without discrimination against any tendency. But the unusual consistency in my attitude here gave me nothing but trouble. I couldn't hide my irritation in my lack of ability.
If I hewed only to established piano collection tradition, I would live or die by skills yet untested, and even if the results sounded "like" a particular style, they wouldn't hold up when compared to the real thing. Yet if I stuck only to my strengths at the expense of everything else, the result would depart from the connotation of "collection", and ignore the possibilities afforded by live piano performance.
And while this was a rather hard choice, no matter how many avenues I explored or how much studying I attempted, I soon wound up with nothing but rage. I tried to absorb those techniques with which I lacked experience to the point where I could say they were a strong point, but the time I had to do it in was brief.
My head filled up over many days.
