Fatum: Cinema Nostalgia, Vol. 2

[Machine Translation] Cinema Nostalgia II - Fate" is the second film music album by a group of Piazzolla specialists ( El Cielo 2020 ). While the previous album "Longing" traveled overseas, this album dives deeper into the memories of Japanese films. The first official permission was obtained from the film's owner to record a new version of "Shukumei," a masterpiece from the film "Instrument of Sand," for which no arrangements had ever been permitted before. The original piano and orchestral score was replaced with a piano, strings, and flute arrangement to portray the torrent of sorrow and the intensity that resides in the human heart with a modern sound. The two-disc set also includes Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield," Toru Takemitsu's "Stranger's Face," "Little Sky," Takashi Yoshimatsu's "Villon's Wife," and 16 other pieces, all of which have been recorded on El Cielo 2020.

ピアソラのスペシャリスト集団【El Cielo 2020】による映画音楽アルバム第2弾『シネマ・ノスタルジアII-宿命-』。前作『憧憬』が海外作品を旅したのに対し、本作は日本映画の記憶へとより深く潜る。これまで一切編曲が許されなかった映画『砂の器』の名曲《宿命》について、作品管理元による初の正式許諾を得て、50年の時を超えて新バージョンの録音が実現。ピアノと管弦楽の原曲を、ピアノ・弦楽器・フルートによる編成へ置き換え、悲しみの奔流と人間の心に宿る激しさを、現代の響きで描き出している。さらに坂本龍一《戦場のメリークリスマス》、武満徹《他人の顔》《小さな空》、吉松隆《ヴィヨンの妻》をはじめとする全16曲を2枚組で収録。El Cielo 2020ならではの緊迫感と、情熱に満ちた演奏により、名曲たちが新たな生命とドラマをもって蘇る。
