Style: modern classical
Primary Emotions/Themes: piano and violin playing classic video game songs
Thoughts: I do not listen to Twelve Doors because I am a huge fan of Noriyuki Iwadare. Sure his soundtracks are incredible and they have heightened my enjoyment of the early Ys' games as well as the Lunar and Grandia... but again that is not why I listen to Twelve Doors.
I listen to Twelve Doors because the arrangements of these classic songs give them a new dimension and I find myself enjoying the simplicity of this music way more than I ever would have admitted to myself before picking up this album. The way the violin carries the melody while the piano backs it up makes makes me close my eyes and enjoy their beauty. These two instruments are designed to be played together, and they are utilized to their fullest on these two records.
As with some other records I've listened to recently there is no full recording of this available online - once again decrying the importance of physical media. Sure it's not as convenient but I'll be remised if I ever give this up and with it my ability to partake in this beautiful music.
