Unique Kanno Experience

"For the price it's best reserved for Kanno fans. The "Advents" sound nearly the same live as they do on the original A Turn Gundam soundtracks, but the live renditions of the other songs are unique and worth having. Kanno is a brilliant film score composer and will soon surpass tired composers like Willians and Horner, despite her youth. Her works are primarily hidden within anime and yet undiscovered by many. Her orchestral works are not yet at par with her idols Ravel or Stravinsky, but her experimental music is excellent. Full of life and energy. Fans new to Kanno might want to buy the Macross Plus soundtracks and search around for the Escaflowne soundtracks before buying this live concert."
