Well, where to begin... first things first, this is a Livestream recording so don't expect any wonders. Only very few minor clicks and distortions this time around. The audio quality could be a lot better though. No HQ-Audio stream was available so we must take what we can get. But it's a shame because this is a really fantastic concert. I also liked how they informed everyone about proper concert etiquette and many children were present and you don't see them flip their shit whenever they heared the Zelda theme. Take notice, world.
Now on to the concert itself. I really loved it. My personal highlight is of course the Metroid Piece, a smashing cue that would not be out of place in a Metroid Motion Picture. We have essentially a conflict between Samus' Theme and Mother Brain's motif, briefly introduced at the beginning. Then follows an almost Rite of Spring treatment of the Prologue, Lower Norfair, Maridia and Crateria and finally the big battle against Mother Brain and the glorious reprise of the victor. My next favorite is the Wind Waker concerto: At the beginning I even got Wagner Vibes. It is not build around the Wind Waker Theme or The Legend of Zelda Theme as one would expect but instead Roger Wanamo focuses on Aryll's Theme. The classical band Spark is also a wonderful addition. I always said the music for Wind Waker works best for smaller ensembles and here we have the best of both worlds. The best renditions of Aryll's Theme are in the second movement. A lovely and elegant romantic piece. Ah and the Encore is fantastic as well, night and day from the 25th Anniversary arrangement.
So enjoy this fantastic concert and now that this Game Concert series has become "a tradition" for the WDR Rundfunkorchester K�ln let's hope for more fantastic concerts in the future.
