Performances by the Hungarian symphonic orchestras, Budapest Scoring Orchestra, which has produced many film scores around the world.
The recording was done at Rottenbiller Studio, also known as the Abbey Road of Budapest.
This album features short tracks so that they are more accessible to pop music listeners who are unfamiliar with orchestral music.
The melodic, rich, and beautiful orchestral sounds are reminiscent of European film soundtracks and are truly moving.
Comments by Toshifumi Hinata on "Vendetta" (from the album "The Dark Night Rhapsodies")
How the violinist played the solo, it was wonderful and close to what I had envisioned. "Vendetta" has a connotation of revenge. There is a book called “Living Well Is the Best Revenge” written by Calvin Tomkins, a journalist from The New Yorker. I think the word "well" is about feelings and not about wealth. Speaking from my own experiences, many unpleasant things happen in life, and I believe living my life with my best effort is the best revenge for them. I wanted to express that something swirling behind the image of this song.
Performed by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra
Conducted by Zoltán Pad
Recorded at the Rottenbiller Studio, Budapest Hungary
Video Director: Leon Hinata
Editor: Josh G Dixon
Production Assistant: Marina Kaho Iida
Additional Filming by Budapest Scoring Orchestra Film Crew
