25 years after Commodore introduced the
C64
computer this stylish double-CD in original "breadbox" design
presents some of the most famous C64 game tunes - performed by a
small symphonic orchestra. The songs of the C64 musicians
Rob Hubbard and
Jeroen Tel, once played by the famous
Sound
Interface Device (SID) chip, have been rearranged by Rob Hubbard himself into a classical score
for the dutch Ricciotti
Ensemble.
Compared to the big philharmonic orchestras of
Symphonic Fantasies,
Distant Worlds and
Video Games Live with all their
bombast, the C64 Orchestra sounds completely different: It's a small
orchestra, bringing a high level of intimacy to each of the songs. Just listen to Monty On The Run - isn't that lovely? :-)
Check out this piece of art that the music of C64
Orchestra RUN 10 in combination with this unique packaging and a
second disc with the original tunes and special features represents.
