I have never placed limits on my choice of repertoire, and for this
project, I reached toward a unique world that was creative and vibrant
in its originality. In my quest to discover the gems of modern music, I
listened to many works written and revisited by composers of great
talent.
When I began my research, video games quickly emerged as a
logical avenue of exploration. I have always strived to interest young
people in classical music because I feel it has the power to touch
everyone. Seeing the passion of young people for video games, I wanted
to understand the secrets of their success and to evaluate their musical
value.
On my most recent recording, I approached movie music without consideration for the images and scenes that inspired it, and I
took the same tack in reviewing the gold mine that is video game music. I
have assembled here the works that spoke to me, giving no real thought
to the adventures they accompany.
I immersed myself in the worlds
that created these excerpts, and I conveyed my new conception to the
musicians of La Pietà, going into great detail to bring forth all of
their beauty and power. Above all, I wanted to avoid distorting them,
and my intention has been to preserve the form that initially won over
video game aficionados while at the same time breathing new life into
them.
So it is with great pleasure that I invite you to dive into the fantastical world of video games with me. (Angèle Dubeau)
A very interesting album and music worth listening to at all, also because it does not contain the usual memories or repetitions of other well-known composers. Instead we are seduced to a completely different and no less hearable level, highly recommended and thank you!
