Advantages: a new take on a familiar warhorse Disadvantages: is it worth full price?
It's unlikely that any music lover who has a good recording of Beethoven's violin concerto on CD (say: Perlman, Grumiaux or Szigeti) would ever say to him or herself: 'boy, I wonder what that sounds like on the clarinet'. In fact, the only people who might would be clarinetists, for they tend to feel (mistakenly, as it happens)that there just isn't enough original repertoire written for their instrument. So here, spanking new, is a Deutsche Grammophon CD offering us an original work in Mozart's Clarinet Concerto and an arrangement of the Beethoven prepared by Russian pianist/conductor Mikhail Pletnev. The soloist is Michael Collins, who plays the familiar Mozart on his basset horn with all the joy and panache we expect. The Beethoven is a different cup of tea. It's difficult to listen to the famous melodies without hearing the fiddle (or ...
Advantages: Easy to learn, helpful in game tutorial, and various endings Disadvantages: No PS3 trophies, Limited multiplayer. Expensive game compared to Xbox 360 prices.
Eternal Sonata PS3
I finally got my hands on a copy of this game. Even though it was released on Xbox 360 back in 2007 before PS3's release which was the beginning of 2009.
Found it to be a colourful world between reality and fantasy and based around the famous composer Frederic Chopin just before he dies from Tuberculosis at
the age of 39, even though Chopin looks about 18 in the game to be honest. Its very child like game with no scenes of blood or swearing. Has an easy tutorial
section at the beginning of the game so you can learn what functions to use and how easy to use with the joypad. You get to meet various people and how they
play apart in Chopins dream world and become apart of his companies in his dreamworld.
Introduction
The last dying days of Frederic Chopin the famous composer who is dying from ...
Advantages: Okay selection of songs Disadvantages: re-make of several songs not that good
Sonata Arctica is a power metal band hailing from Finland. In one decade, they have managed to produce 4 albums (up to 2006), 2 compilations and a DVD. In 2005, they also released a compilation called The End of this Chapter, then a year later, they release this CD. Why, I wonder. Perhaps the songs on the previous compilation wasn't enough to satisfy the fans so they made another one, or distro label wanted to line their pockets further.
This CD compromises of songs from all the albums pre-2006. There are two songs that have been re-made but all other songs remain untouched; it is for this reason why it isn't suitable for big fans of Sonata Arctica, they may have already got other albums that contains these songs anyway.
The track list are as follows;
01. The Ruins Of My Life
02. 8th Commandment
03. Don't Say A Word
04. Victoria ...
