Sinfonia Drammatica was awesome.
Okay, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into this review. Last year my favorite composers, Chris Huelsbeck, organized a concert called Symphonic Shades, rearranging some of his classics from the 80s, such as R-Type and the Great Gianna Sisters music. At more or less the same time, Shimomura was recording Drammatica, an album featuring many of her classic tracks, such as ones from Legend of Mana and Kingdom Hearts.
On the 4th of August, 2009, they were brought together for a 2-hour concert in an East-meets-West fashion. We had interviewed the two of them about this project before the show, and now here’s the review of the concert. Spoilers: It was awesome.
