Austin Wintory - Banner Saga 2
Review by Seiph Gama
The album Banner Saga 2 by Austin Wintory is a masterpiece of orchestral and folk music. The compositions are rich and complex, blending traditional Scandinavian sounds with modern classical elements. The music perfectly captures the epic and emotional journey of the game's characters, with each track telling its own story.
Wintory's use of instrumentation is particularly impressive, with strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion all contributing to the grandiose soundscapes. The choir is also used to great effect, adding a haunting and ethereal quality to some of the tracks.
The album is not just a collection of background music, but a standalone work of art that can be appreciated on its own. The tracks range from slow, mournful pieces to energetic battle anthems, showcasing Wintory's versatility as a composer.
