Newcomer kLuTz proves he's anything but one, at least when it comes to piano arrangements, with a lovely and heartfelt take on the 'Melody of Lute' theme from FF4. The original sounded more like a harp than a lute, but the theme works perfectly on piano, with a flowing and dynamic performance by (oh the irony) kLuTz. Solo piano arrangements are a dangerous business as, for my money, in order to work they have to take the original and strip it down to its most basic elements then build it back up using not ornate arrangement, the addition of percussion or harmony, or impressive audio tricks (all of which I'm certainly not knocking, btw) but instead sheer instrumental performance and interpretation. The human element - how the piece flows, contrasts in dynamics, the most minute articulations - become the focus, and nothing else. McVaffe's Cutman Sonata mix is a great example, and I believe you'll find this to be quite compelling and enjoyable as well. Recommended.
