The concept of this album is based on feelings about world affairs, social issues, and young people who are uncertain about their future.
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 "Dark Night Overture" (from the album "The Dark Night Rhapsodies")
Zoltán, the conductor of the orchestra, told me that this song reminiscent of Italian opera, so I was happy that we were on the same page. Many of the songs on this album, the image I had while composing them is the intermezzo, an interlude inserted between opera acts.This is an overture like the opera, it goes in parallel with the story and the style can be relatively free and daring.
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
